The car should be back from the upholster this week...then the interior gets put back together. Not sure if exterior parts that need paint will go to body shop unattached or on the car...kind of hope they just shoot them and C2Design puts them on at the shop. The less hands on the interior the better...if it does go to the body shop then stock seats go in until they are done.

I don't think I'll be disappointed in this interior...I told Chris@C2Design the floor mats better be spectacular for us to cover those interior leather floors...

Wow! Quite an extensive project. What are you going to do with it?
e.g. personal use, show car/marketing, resale. Just curious.

Like with all my builds...all personal.

I know...the upholsterer still has it and is buttoning everything down. I've been promised that it should be @ C2Design by this week. I really can't rush this type of quality work...

With that said, some more carbon pieces came in...all I can say is...WOW!

Door handles grips...

Thx guys...997tt is back from the upholsterer. Start of the re-assembly starts THEN body work, which is relatively light...GT2RS bumper, Turbo S side skirts, and Speedster humps...



PICS of front trunk...the wood/plastic covers will get the CF treatment...

Attention to detail is amazing. Well done!

Love these all-out builds. Many of them aren't to my taste, but it's easy to appreciate the many hours of work that goes into them. Well done.
Any update?

The interior is done and waiting to get put back together again but that won't happen until it gets back from the body shop...GT2RS rear bumper and GT2 side skirts are getting painted...and the wing supports are getting shortened and repainted...

Reassembly happens after the body shop and then the Brembo BBK gets put on...so we are looking at end of September...I'll get pics after it gets back from the body shop.

This has go to be the sickest 997 cab build I have seen.

UPDATE: The light at the end of the tunnel...

1. Body - The car is at the body shop with all new parts fitted (rear bumper, side skirts, speedster cowls) and rear wing base cut. Now paint is next and should happen tomorrow or Friday.

2. Interior - The carbon sub is finishing up the last pieces with the center console being the last thing to be done...yes the center console. This will be difficult but if pulled off very special. We were going to wrap with new leather or dye portions of the center console but we looked at it and we were worried about fitment of the leather and the dye color matching properly. It actually was dyed but it was no where near being close enough to our liking. At that point, I did a WTF and agreed we need to go all in on the carbon fiber to make things match and fit properly.

Let's just say this project didn't start out with a lot of carbon fiber but damn...even it boggles my mind how much was done.

Here are some detail pieces that were brought to the shop...handbrake cover and the air bag decals.



Final Assembly - After paint so shooting for late next week or the following week. The plan is to have this done by Oct 23.

Absolutely Awesome!

Would love to see in person.

Update:

Body: 997 has finally the new pieces painted and reassembly is today and tomorrow.

Reassembly: All next week...still waiting on CF center console but should be done by next week.

Engine: I want to drive it as is except for ECU/TCU tweak by Switzer (about another 100hp/100ft-lbs to crank with quicker and firmer shifts) for the next couple of months. I have a build slot for 2/1/14 with Switzer for the following:

SPI Full Exhaust - No Cats
SPI BPRS Setup
SPI Header Package
SPI Upgrade GT30R Turbochargers (incl. hardware and lines)
Syvecs S8 PnP Standalone ECU Kit
Switzer Syvecs S8 ECU Calibration
SPI "Monster" Intercoolers (PAIR)
SPI I/C Plumbing Kit for "Monster" Intercoolers w/Billet BOVs
SPI Custom High Flow Intake Plumbing
SPI High-flow Air Filters
SPi-spec Iridium Performance Spark Plugs
SPI High-flow Injectors
SPI Flex-Fuel System Upgrade

• Switzer Tiptronic Upgrade Includes TCU Software Calibration
• Transmission Torque Converter re-flash

OTHER TIDBITS:

- boost around high 20's hitting @ around 4000
- 900hp+ to crank...definitely 700whp but hoping for closer to 800whp
- 0-60 in 2.5s
- stepping stone to Switzer's built engine program (Stage 1 and Stage 2) which they are still developing...I won't jump into that until Tym Switzer is comfortable with the setup's efficiency and reliability.

Some terrible cell pics I took today...so many things to put together that I can't name the all.

Tips realigned to be spot on...







Front storage compartment...missing battery cover is in carbon fiber too with Porsche script on it...just getting polished after clear coat and not back yet


Dash pieces...








Drink cup holder cover...and it still works too..


Gear shift **** put back together...
