Most of the problematic areas were on the right side due to a crappy respray from the previous owner.

What the hollowspokes look like on the H&R street performance coilovers set at the highest ride height. No spacers used. Also, there's a high possibility the wheels and tires are for sale. I just don't have room for them.

Some shots of the roof. Nothing wrong with it. I entertained the idea of a fixed roof conversion for a cleaner look and less weight. I got a quote of $4800 and decided not to do it.





That alcantara headliner is $$$.

It's going to be a lot of work putting everything back together.

Looks good - Who is doing the paint? (I ask b/c some day I may get the front bumper re-sprayed)

The car should have been painted a couple of days ago so final assembly should be some time this week. I confirmed with the shop that the car will have 3 layers of clearcoat. I have an appointment with my mechanic next Friday to have my 997 gt3 shifter console installed. After that, I'm done with the car... for the rest of this year.

Just got a call from the shop. The car is painted and is currently being put back together. I don't mind the wait as long as the job is done right.
