I recently purchased a damaged 2022 GT3 from a Copart auction - going to be a fun project! The car didn't come with keys, and before I fork out the $1,000+ for a dealer key package, I thought I'd reach out to the community and see if anyone knows the original owner who might still be in possession of said keys. I purchased it at auction in Flint Michigan - it's a 2022 GT3 (Wing) , Genetian Blue, hit hard on front left side. VIN WP0AC2A97NS268432. Any leads appreciated!!
Disassembly of front end / suspension nearly complete Before engine pull - on it's way to Deman for 4.5L conversion Going to be a fun project!!
Wow! What do we have going on here? Two plates in the frunk is the tip of the iceberg. I'm guessing you're looking for a large man. Haha. Can't wait to see what this comes to. GL!
The new shop I'm building isn't quite ready - it has two rotary in-ground lifts that will make working on this much better. It's amazing - once the front suspension is removed, you can lift the front end with 2 fingers with the car sitting on the jackpoints. Had to put the plates in to keep it steady on the jackstands! Still trying to nail down Porsche to sell me a complete new body - they've priced it out, but not given me a date yet. If I have to repair this one, we are in for a long, tedious project - it's pretty twisted. . .
BTW, my new shop also has an inground dyno - I bought this before I bought my TTS, so unfortunately its a 2WD dyno. Will be perfect for the GT3s (and other projects), but a bit compromised for the TTS. You can put it in dyno mode via PIWIS for 2WD, but really should tune a AWD car with all corners driven.

I can't imagine what Porsche ask for an entire body? This is like builsng a new car.
It's WAY less then you might think. Here's the PN - you can check out pricing at any online dealer. . . 992 800 401 F GRV. The complete body comes with fenders, doors and hood - no roof, but the carbon roof on this car is PERFECT. For this project, it requires a complete front tub (~ $14K, one fender (~800), one door (~2,000), hood (~14,000), firewall (~3,000), rear quarter (~3,000) and various rocker / sill / floor sheetmetal - (~3,000). Then you have to un-twist the body and weld / glue / rivet on all the bits - not trivial. The complete new body is a NO BRAINER if Porsche will deliver it. My dealer has priced it out for me, but it's been two weeks waiting for Porsche Germany to confirm. He states that that's probably good news, as they normally say NO right away if something isn't possible.
Absolutely - I gave up on getting an allocation, especially a PTS allocation, so I'm doing it myself! This will be my own PTS with uber-extended custom CXX leather . . Plus, as I'm not a collector or speculator, having a salvage car with reduced value makes zero difference to me, and I won't feel as bad putting 1,000s of miles on it.

Hope you post about progress. There are some YouTubers who did something like that but not an entire body replacement.
that's my commuter. . . but yes, I bought that as a project as well and did paint, interior, and avioncis upgrade. 1991 Learjet 31A. Oldie but rocketship.

I live on a private airport in Wyoming (about 30 miles S of Jackson Hole), and my businesses are in San Diego, Boston, and South Dakota . . certainly makes life a bit simpler.

can't you just buy it from Germany and ship it over?
We import a lot from Germany and it's not that expensive, runs us around around $7,000 for a 40 foot container door to door
