It looks to be stitch welded in places too.

Awesome job, Fred!

Is the front spoiler aftermarket or Porsche?

Sunroof is spot welded on AND glued to keep the heat distortion to a minimum. I gutted ALL the extra sunroof metal.

lots of photos of the before and after and the build project.

Thanks. Where did you source the flares? If MA Shaw or Getty, was it the Clubsport or GT2 setup?

Very nice conversion!

Absolutely stunning....

Now sell everything but the car and move to Cali where we have track days 12 months out of the year. The next upgrade (My suggestion!), Moton Club Sports and Evo uprights.
