oh mi,
cup car this is better than 3 hookers, a pocket full of chips and a pound of blow on a vagus Friday night.
Where did you source the roof panel?

The roof came from Sunset Porsche via Germany.

Engine crankcase is assembled, but I had buyer's remorse on using regular main bearings, so it is coming back apart to install Porsche Motorsport mains. Everything is in hand to finish engine and machine work complete.
After the main bearing remorse, it also seemed the shop was a little out of hand with chassis parts all around and some basic fabrication work to do to be building an engine anyway.
With that thought, I started back on the chassis in earnest. When body complete, on ground painted and interior finished with wheels and tires on, I will finish engine.
There is no time line here, I work on it when I feel like it.

Someday our ship will come in . . .
Great project thread! 
Just do not add all the individual bills up, but if you do, don't tell us. We need to be able to delude ourselves that it is within reason someday . . .

Very brief consideration I might add, the new stuff sucks IMHO.
991 too big, bloated, over imposition of computer control (s), too gaudy, too complex, junk manual gearbox, engine without dry sump, the list goes on. Cayman OK in size, but has most of other issues, even though a mid engine really appeals to me.
Plus building a car is a lot more fun

Way, way cheaper than the other option = a new 911 which I considered.
