Default Building my own Speedster

Since I didn't get an allocation for a Speedster, I've decided to build my own by modifying my Touring into a convertible. Porsche provides nearly all of the parts needed direct from the factory, I just need to make the cuts and install. Wish me luck! Name:  photo835.jpg

Just remember the golden rule:

Measure twice.
Cut once.

In your case:

Measure once.
Cut 2-3 times.

And here I am getting slack for wanting to remove my wing. I’ve already priced out 95% of the parts if you’re serious I’d be interested in your rear parts that you wouldn’t need anymore.
