Radiator


I thought I had more pictures of the setup but it appears that the move from Photobucket to imgur some of them did not make it over. The extensions and bending of the brackets and extension the radiator can stay in normal clocking without flipping as you can see worked out perfect, pretty sure the downward angle is 7°

And Just like that she made it home Sunday afternoon, good thing for spending all Saturday and most of Sunday organizing and cleaning to clear her parking spot back up. The fit and finish is factory with all the Manthey / Werk996 and factory RS / GT2 parts that went into this, Markus attention to detail is out of this world when it comes to exaction of such a project. Sundays weather was perfect with sun and some clouds to really see the differences in color hues that the Aqua Marine Blue has to offer. Of course get it into the garage and the blue darkens right up. It will be nice to enjoy some driving the rest of the summer/fall before finishing the last parts of the project with drivetrain upgrades, but first that means finishing the lift lizard 997tt's major overhaul. The goal of building a lighter hotrod GT2 is nearing completion.

Looking into the garage at night it still has not quite sunk in that she is home and all bodywork/interior is complete...well other than a couple clips awaiting Porsche Classic to ship from Germany, but alas always waiting on something!

Truly inspirational end result my friend. That is an extremely impressive GT2 tribute, and one very worthy of all the time and effort spent. I hope you enjoy every mile with a smile on your face!

Looks fantastic Noah. Congratulations on such a cool project! That interior looks familiar. I think my GT2 gearbox would be perfect to complete the package...

Thanks Chief! Been quite the journey to get to this part. Still a good way to go with the next round of drivetrain enhancements/suspension revamp. Then it will officially be done!
