Remember this from 2006:


Then the unsuccessful attempt the wrap it around a lampost:


So we have started a rebuild. First a few new panels, a spot of filler and the shell is sorted


Off to the bodyshop for a professional paint job soon.

I've had MED bore the block and grind the crank. That will be fitted with P20773s and a skimmed, modified 12G295 plus a secret cam. Gearbox will be rebuilt etc.

It is going to have the fuel injection, manifolds and T2 turbo off my 998Ti that is going to be retired to make some room.

Is that shell really the repaired version of the lamppost special? If so I have to say I'm bloody impressed.

Although I don't remember reading about one of your lads having a pretty big off?

Yes, last June we had a bit of a disaster.

Blimey, I somehow missed all that, think I could have been on holiday at the time actually.

Awesome work paul, the shell looks properly sweet again

Back from the body shop:



We now have all the parts for the budget injected 998 turbo engine, subframes etc, so plenty to do over the winter.
