Yeah, I bought John Raidy/Jamie Allen's yellow 993. It has already had an engine rebuild, transmission rebuild, custom exhaust, wing, RS front brakes, turbo rear brakes, suspension upgrade, and some weight loss before I bought it, most work done by Peter Dawe.
I then had the radio, hvac, blowers, ductwork, side windows, door guts, windshield washer system, airbags, and lots of interior junk removed for me.
I then spent about 70-80 hours this winter meticulously gutting the interior inlcuding all adhesive, sound deadening, fabric, non-essential electrical and controls, cruise control, and sunroof mechanicals. I also cut out the old cage as the design did not meet my safety criteria.
The car has since been back at Dawe's for the last 5 weeks, given he knows this car first hand from all the previous work mentioned above. Peter finished the sunroof delete and is attending to all new safety equipment including new full cup style cage, halo seat, new harnesses, fire supression system, battery kill switches, window net, drivers net, pano rearview, and tow hooks.
Hey, what can I say, I'm a little sensitive to the safety stuff so I had to redo it myself. Peter is finishing up the car tomorrow and delivering it to NJMP for me for Saturday morning where I'll actually get to drive it for the first time. I'm looking forward to the first long day of driving for the year in 2 days.
That about sums it up. So now you can see why I no longer need the Cayman S and am selling it.
