The Ultimate GT3. From street car, to FULL RACE car. Pics inside of build

I searched all over the country to locate a low mile, clean, well taken care of 996 GT3. I chose to build a full race car out of a 2004 996/GT3. The GT3 has steel synchros and the all important dry sumped engine. I looked at several cup cars, but decided that cup cars require a tremendous amount of maintenance versus converting a street car into a race car.

I decided to hire Global Motorsports Group (GMG) to help with the build. They have experienced tremendous success racing Porsches in multiple series. I will document the build of this car from day one.

I hope you enjoy the documented build process.

Here is the car before tear down................


A perfectly clean, street car.................:icon107:


And now.................the stripping begins.......

I am tying in the cage to the front shock towers. I needed to remove the wiper assembly, batter, and bracing for that........
