996.1 cab C2 manual

That might work out rather well. I'll let you know when the engine will be available - at the moment I can be as precise as "winter at some point".
 
Would anyone have the edge to edge dimensions of the front number plate plinth handy? (I was bored and bought a 5 digit plate).
 
Can't deny this whole post is full of some interesting stuff, however it has rekindled some of my Porsche paranoia, are they really a ticking time bomb, am I looking to much into the what if's?
Still love my 4S, as Alex said puts a smile on my face every time I drive it just hoping nothing comes along to wipe the smile and the bank balance away!

I am sure there are a couple of different ones so here's the part number:

Thanks!

In other news, the GT3/Turbo tray fits a C2 perfectly:

And in slightly more performance orientated news, this arrived:

Which will end up as this (forgive back of envelope sketch):

Filled the Worlds Most Expensive Bit of Foam up a little:

And made a template out of the box it came in:

Which I'll buzz out of 6mm ply and then cover in thin carpet over the next few days.
 
6mm ply sheet version:

But then discovered that it was very hard to open, and the carpet I've ordered will increase the friction to the point that it's likely impossible, so:

Much easier:

And car tucked away again:

I'm loving this latest project. It's right up my street. :thumb:

Did you manage to fill most of the foam with tools from the standard tool wrap? Obviously not the compressor?

Have you got the genuine wheel changing gloves and plastic bag for the dirty wheel though? :D
 
I'm missing the Porsche gloves, wheel bag and pressure gauge - otherwise I'm factory correct, largely from the tool wrap. I'll add some standard work gloves, being a sucker for OEM I'll find the correct pressure gauge.

I'm also including a tyre repair tool:

I've also got two towing eyes in there so I can run one front and rear for track days to stop the car being dragged out of a gravel trap by an exhaust manifold if the worst happens.

I'm wondering about putting some tie-down eyes on the corners of the new floor so I can use a small luggage net to stop smaller items flying around, maybe for V2.
 
The corners were really annoying me, so:

The kit-car builder website I bought the carpet from only had black, however I don't think it works, looking at it:

So I'll wait until they've got some grey before sticking it down I think.

Any suggestions for where to get thin carpet that matches the Porsche luggage area liner please let me know?
