Jean,
If I can chime in, the early Gt2 race cars were fitted with the aluminum doors with side beams. They bear 959 part numbers and had different closers as well. Mine are off the origional Rohr car! Most race teams changed out the doors as sanctioning bodies required side intrusion protection and thus the doors had to be butchered to add the side bars
It was far easier to just replace the doors with fibreglass as they were far cheaper. The origional doors as I recall were listed my porsche motorports at 13,000 DM!

If you recall I also bought a pair of aluminum GT2 doors sometime back and they also had the side protection bars, I always thought they came from a street GT2 although the PO told me they were from a race car, so this confirms it.. I sold them and also swapped for a pair of Motorsport CF doors finally without bars, and with sliding windows.

I spent over a year building this beautiful black 993 GT2, drove it a total of 600 miles (!!!) and it collects dust in my warehouse....
I was asked if I would sell the car and after thinking it over and over this weekend I think I would let it go...
My thinking is I will get a GT3RS or a GT2 in Germany, leave it there and enjoy it when I am in the old country for business which is quite often. That's where you can really enjoy a high performance car on the street!
Weekend trips thru the Alps or better yet to the Nurburgring.
Anyway please give me your thoughts what you think this car is worth.

I get a little on the inside of the wheel at full lock but then again I got that with my stock body setup as well. Any rubbing is going to depend on the offset of your wheels but I'll assume you have that all figured out already. If you want to be really safe you can run a 255/35 (or 265/30) and a 315/30 which are alot thinner than the other sizes I mentioned. In terms of street rubber that might be your best bet however if its for the track then I would try and see if the larger sizes would fit

Too bad we didn't get photos of our unique 993s together. Thanks for motivation & offering parts during Speedy's build.
Is this a good time to ask if you're going forward with your Speedster project?
Wishing you all the best with life's changes.

Jäger,
not sure yet what will be next...maybe it does not sell and i "have" to keep it! (there is actually something in the works, BUT it will have to be based in Europe at least initially
) Work makes me spend lots of time in Germany so this might work out great.
Still thinking about that Speedster project...definitely have lots of parts to get something new started.
I asked Nick for permission to use his shots, I thought the ones I used were all his...glad you don't mind I used some of yours. Great community here on Rennlist!

For your black GT2 replacement, I hear this white coupe's available, shouldn't be hard to import to Europe...
