Hold on tight...things are about to start happening!

Airjack frames were installed today and about 12kg (24lbs) of unnecessary sheet metal bits and pieces were removed.

Friday is washing time.

Looking great Juha...

Did the Air jacks you bought come with the weld in parts or is that extra? What setup did you go for?

It is the original Porsche motorsport kit (in GT2 catalog), FVD makes the weld in parts. The complete kit was about 5k eur (including everything that goes on the car).

Maybe you don't know but your racing hero drove for Porsche...
Do that livery. It's a good looking livery and of course the connection is cool.

Go google: Keke and Porsche, there's not many photos of it but they're somewhere.
That #12 Boss 956 livery would kick ***.

OK, found a link to a scale model of Keke's 956.

You'd paint the "greenhouse" and a part of hood white, then the rest with striping and maybe add a but of own touch and have strips follow the contour of fenders.

That'd be cool but I'm kinda set on that Jägermeister (Jekku) orange now...

My nickname within the Finnish Porsche community is Finnjavel (which is Swedish for Finnish bastard).
Therefore I'd rock Jägermeister livery with the wording: "JÄVELMEISTER"

The future of the GT2 is in the European amateur racing series (or pro-am), such as the Spezial Tourenwagen Trophy STT and VLN series in the Nürburgring.

Here's a cool video:
