Hi guys,

Apologies I have been MIA for a bit, things have been pretty mad the last few weeks and I have been organising a move to a new workshop amongst everything else!!! The work that has been done the last few weeks has been under the skin so nothing much interesting to show. However, I finalised the plan for the body options and decided to keep the front end modified factory items and create moulds for the rear end only as a foam core carbon fibre monocoque that will fit over the top of the existing inner steel monocouque. It will fit nice and tidy and as it will be bonded as one piece over the top of the existing steel inner monocoque, it will be stronger than what was there before.

I also got the rear led lights working so slowly getting there.

I will try and get some new pics up in the next couple of weeks.

Any updates about this project? It’s been silent for almost a year now. I’m thinking about doing something similar, but I was hoping to see how it turned out.

Really looking forward to seeing the results of this project. My perfect Boxsters would be the love child of a 986/981..namely the interior and analogue feel of a 986 with the exterior looks of the 981. Bravo
