After selling my seal grey 996tt 4 years ago I moved on to a few other car including a R8, in the mean time I built myself a track car to keep me amused .
That was until last month when I folded and bought my old car back back.
The car was still in mechanically good condition but needed a bit of a cosmetic tidy up, and decided to add a few little mods while I was at it.

As I bought it back





Wheel and brake refurb





Added some carbon





Half cage and painted seat backs











Gave it a detail







My little track toy, so much fun for so little cost

Yes I sold it to Jenks, then bought it back from him. I hope to get on some of the PH runs with it this time swell.

love the carbon touches.... Was it expensive? how did you go about it?
The previous owner had bout the rear wing but never got round to fitting it , but expect to pay between £1500/2000 if you can find one second hand. The mirror covers were a £70 ebay bargain the fit and quality is actually really good on them.

Just got my steering wheel back from Royal steering wheels, half leather and alacantara with grey stitching and 12 o clock band. I also got extra padding added to give a better feel when driving.

A bargin at £130 for the retrim

I used a step by step guide i found on the 6speedonline forum , it was a bit nerve racking stripping the first seat as you have to take it back to a bare frame.
I would say I could now strip a seat in about 10 min and build it in 20.
