If I were to make it a 996 cup car or gt3rs, it would have been just repairing the car and change two bumpers. No custom work, that is a repair that most professional bodyshops should be able to do. 90% of collision repair facilities wouldn't even want to mess around with a conversion like this, but to my shop it is inspiring repair that can make any other collision repair seem like a piece of cake.

Ditto...we fix so many cars for the insurance companies that involve repairing fenders, replacing bumpers, sectioning out quarter panels, frame repairs, etc, etc, etc...so it makes it a fun challenge to be able to take on other projects to break away from the norm.
I'm sure Joeacc can concur that he has a vast majority of standard repairs in his shop...then there are the few custom jobs he has (restorations, custom fabrications, etc..) which are great projects in between the stadard customer pay and insurance jobs.
