Project 986 S: From insurance write off to road worthy

Well this project is a long time coming. I started out with an '03 986 S that had been crashed and I bought an '02 Base model sight unseen for parts. When the '02 showed up it was way too nice to cut up so I fixed it and drove it around for 2 years. Now that car is gone and it's time to move back to my original project: the S model.

Now it's time to get started on my S Model:
Here she is now:






DONOR CAR:

I have a new donor car that is a '99 Base model that I will use the sheet metal and suspension from. Is there anything that I should be worried about when converting my S to the '99 BASE?

As you can see, it will be the entire front left clip. I plan on removing the clip at the firewall and doing all new from the donor car.


Because I have to replace so many parts, it's time to UPGRADE the looks of this dated car. I did so with the help of Xtreme Motorcars. I'm going with the 2nd gen 997.2 GT3 Bumper with LED inserts:


Also going with Techart Side skirts:
