This time I have set out to push myself to the absolute limit and do more than we have ever tackled on this channel before. Which is exactly what this #porsche #cayman #gt4 is going to do in this #rebuild series.
This is by far the most extreme damage I have ever tackled and to make matters worse on the most expensive car I have ever bought too!
But hopefully the risk is worth the reward at the end.

This is going to be a good one!!! You should decorate the unit's walls with the perished bonnets of cars you have done.

[@humansnotai4912]

That's a brilliant idea! How cool would that look, and create a memorabilia timeline.

[@MIKEG316]

Deadly idea - I was actually thinking that when I say the bare white walls in the background!

[@kylevodden7131]

Actually a really good idea tbf

Yeah and spray foam the back of them for sound deadening such a big unit.

I own one of these gt4’s. So the suspention is all OEM from the looks of it not aftermarket. And the front suspention is from the gt3 NOT 718! The rear suspention was all worked specifically for the 981 GT4. Good luck on the build!

[@redzone5655]

PorschAs are riveted and glued as Mat Armstrong would confirm. You will have to replace the whole TUB… Arthur in his channel showed how to replace the tub for a 991, which is fairly the same. Most cost effective thing to do is to buy a salvaged tub, no need for a pull machine… you cannot pull aluminium as the rivets would lose strength. Beautiful and worthy project… not financially viable, but I think youtube viewership will pay the bill.

[@jakerade1]

I looked at bidding on that car to transplant the guts into my cayman S..... Arthur Tussik has some good front end replacement videos which are definitely worth watching. I have changed the front tub on a 981 but as you say, i think you are looking at going back to the bulk head. I do have a long LH chassis leg, a new lower repair panel but the back lower section of the tub looks knackered. Also got a couple of pairs of GT4 lights as well.....

[@beardofben1718]

Good old Copart, listing it as a runner,suspension in a different postcode to car and additional damage due to the yardies!

[@RavenRestoProjects]

You know what Chris , hats off to you, you're really pushing yourself and growing , not stooooopid ......maybe just a few more headaches boyo 😜

[@cseivard]

Thanks! This looks like quite a build! Back when most 911s had motors in the back, I spent quite a bit of time disassembling ones that all seemed like they had backed off a guardrail.

Chris - instead of painting the Aston Martin you rebuilt many moons ago in Gulf Livery, you buy a severely damaged Porsche GT4 in Gulf Livery. That only leaves you with the option, once you've fully repaired the car, as to where your next road trip destinaion is. Good Luck with the build and the sourcing of parts. 👍👍

[@kierandann4792]

To make things easier for yourself put all nuts and bolts on an idiot board with a decent description as to where they came from in the order you strip the vehicle. And write down part numbers as you take each damaged part off. also pin boards are great for visualizing where you are up to when re building the car. It also gives you a bit of satisfaction when u complete a section. I tend to find it inspires me to keep going n get more done when you see the board getting less full

[@ghostghost7993]

You have to keep this one along with the merc gt. The number plate is awesome fully legal but still spells the colour of the car and that blue is amazing. Keep up the hard work bro

[@dasonjunn]

It would be fully legal if it had the space 😅

@@bigboost2641 Imagine you are approaching the Volvo dealer coming from Junction 16. Take the first exit left toward the link center. As we were driving towards the link center, the porsche was on our side of the road facing us. Somewhere between the next round about and the middle of the road they lost traction (probably after booting it and snap oversteered) into the lamp post through the central reservation and onto on-coming traffic. I didnt see the crash but It must have been literally a few minutes after it happened.

Nice car, so hopefully viable and you have any easy ride, with a relatively straightforward repair. I know the sound of the car is a part of its character, but how about valves to vary the sound of the exhaust?

I detailed and PPF’d the GT4 you played in the clips the green one

I’ve got one and they are pretty good on track but need semi slicks. Engine mounts are prone to breaking as well I have some de-cat headers if interested

[@AI-Records24]

Take to Vulcan alpha for front splitter active aero set up maybe spoiler extension then round the ring with Misha? They need front end work anyway to feel as stable as other Porsches, I’ve had 3 Porsches now including one of these and one of my favourite engines even though it’s not too powerful or as high revving as other Porsche engines. It’s maintainable compared to others, and hardly any problems with it can just hammer the thing all day long.

if the muffler is good, just keep the stock muffler and do JCR sport cats and headers. If the muffler is damaged from the forklift do the entire JCR system. if the rear diffuser is damaged, might as well get a carbon one to replace it.

Just wants a bulk head and a tub, nothing too serious 😆. Did a 997 gt2 years ago.

[@Todger182]

So from TJ hunt's GT3 RS rebuild, it seems that Porsche use the same front tub, with differences being the bulkhead between the tank and the fronk (RS has a larger fuel tank). You may be able to save some money getting a front clip from another Porsche.
