Swapping from a totaled Porsche 911 shell to a clean shell (sort of) was no easy task. Every nut, bolt, wire, clip, etc. has been removed, then reinstalled by yours truly, just a dude in his garage. What a journey! By doing so, I've nearly tripled the value of this once crashed race car.

    i love every car part that is carbon fibre so much and those bumper lips are absolutely gorgeous 🥹❤
  • @matsm8711
    Great build. Not a fan of the surfboard on the back though.
  • @jurieblignaut
    The exhaust tips....that angled exit diagonally cut pipes is the sexy. A beaut you made.
  • 997 for the win Matt. A stunning build and car, I absolutely love it. What a journey... great viewing.
  • @plus790
    White on front. Amber on sides.
  • @FL981S
    Black/ carbon wing w body color end caps(would tie in nicely with the carbon valance and lip), black turbo badge on the rear decklid, no window tint and gold centered BBS. That's all I would do. Congrats! Been a heck of a project.
  • @JT-162
    Congratulations…she’s a keeper….you made all the right resto and mods…it actually went way smoother than I expected (not that my POV means anything).
  • @cristmh
    Looking back from where you started, car looks totally amazing Matt. Awesome job! 👏
  • @bandwagon240
    Amazing how Porsche managed to match up those mats with the faded carpet. I had to. 🤣
  • @Bmwalfaromeo
    Amber is the move. Matches the other lights and your interior 👍
  • @DaraghsTube
    Congrats, it looks great, love the chalk body colour and the amber side lights look good with it.
  • @Jizzaldo
    Good job dude. I thought you were crazy for taking this project on. Turned out great.
  • @MrStlvette
    Looks amazing! I feel like a proud dad? You are so talented Matt. Can’t wait to see what rims you choose.
  • Don't forget the turbo badge on the rear. Will add a few more ponies! 🙂 Colour is top notch.
  • @dkosawa
    You must be so proud! I love how it turned out!!!
  • @kilove1
