The front throws me off. Are you on a stretched boxster?

Im currently working on this on a stretched 986. Going to play with a turbo on this one. And please no hate guys, some of us just love building this crazy stuff.

not a replica, its a one off. tube chassis and no donor parts other than control arms. everything is being made custom. i am building two of them one for myself and one for my brother. mine is a 383lt1/boxster s transmission and my brothers is a 5.3 twin turbo/audi 5hp transmission. both will be over 500hp. the 5.3 will be in the 700hp(twin gt35's ) range.

don't turbo your 986.... swap out the 3.8sc out of a gtp like i am $1300 for the adapter kit and will make plenty of power.

so last night... ya i didn't get much done. i got home and couldn't keep my eyes open and took short nap which made my motivation afterwards pretty much not there lol but i did get the passengers side rear bumper started.

so this is about an 1 1/4 lap joint I'm doing for attaching the parts i made. from my limited experience and things I've read.. its the strongest joint and easiest to work with. attaching the parts i make for the quarters.. not sure on those yet.

mission accomplished i now have a wide rear bumper. its not pretty yet but it will be. very happy with how well the parts lined up(pic with finger in it) now i can get that mounted to the car and start on quarters. to the fiberglass guys... i know the screws are a bad idea. i will deal with them later, i could find a better way to suck the part to the bumper.

also trimmed off the lower lip of the aluminum front bumper for fitting.

well the rear bumper is mounted and secured. sorry if theses posts seem repetitive and doesn't look to different from previous pics but there is actually hours into these little changes lol should be making the rear quarters bucks by the end of the week. very happy with the way it fits on. i'm not to the pretty work yet but I'm making good progress.
