Some interior will be deleted - stereo/speakers, airbags, carpet but the rest will be retained.

Mileage is from new

This is going to be an amazing build. I love it.

Don't let the naysayers get you down, go for it!

No naysayers, I'm just advising the owner to try the car on the track then mod so he can see how the car was and how it progresses as the mods get installed

The car has now arrived at Rothsport and the modifications will begin. We have finalized the to do list and everything should be done in time for the NASA event at Thunderhill in mid May. Over the next few weeks I’ll provide updates showing parts and work done on the car.

> Clubsport roll cage, steering wheel, seats, harnesses, fire extinguisher, battery dsconnect, plexi rear window
> Delete airbags, stereo, interior carpet, trunk lining
> Manthey carbon doors and door panels
> Cup front lip and wheel arch gurneys
> European rear bumper
> 4.0L conversion with individual throttle bodies, Cup flywheel/clutch, remapped ECU, BMC airfilter, M&M titanium exhaust system
> 996 Cup gearbox/LSD, shifter and cables (Oakley sequential shifter might be installed)
> Solid mounts
> Wrightwood Racing/AP rotors
> JRZ RS Pro shocks with custom spring rates, toe steer kit, bump steer kit, sway bars, etc
> Champion MS61 Forged Magnesium wheels with Hoosier R6’s

Here are images of some parts. Unfortunately the color of the wheels doesn’t show up well in photos, it’s actually a semi gloss black. More to come…

Wow, what a find. 109 miles... that's amazing. "OEM tank of gas?" Sounds like it will be a monster after your build!

Heck Porsche put 57 miles on mine before putting it on the boat!
