Saw this this morning - It's something I've been aware of/followed in a while, but I think this is the first real article about the 'finished' product (in the sense that no project car is ever truly finished !!!

https://www.evo.co.uk/porsche/911/205873/porsche-911-carrera-9963-jethro-bovingdons-re-engineered-911-driven

Several things I really like about it;

1. It's a non 'GT' Porsche that he's chosen to do something quite unique with, which is refreshing.
2. It's a car that clearly has a personal story; something Jethro has kept for a long time, continued to use and tinker with and enjoy, and clearly has no intention of ever getting rid of
3. Likely as a consequence of 2., there is no thought of getting rid, let alone the resale value, and a frank admission that the cost of what he's done to it to make it how he wants is impossible to financially justify.

Kudos Jethro, looks like a mega car, and an awful lot of fun to have made something truly unique as well as no doubt ace to drive!!
 
So both Jethro and his 996 are still alive and kicking then. I remember him buying it. :D :driving: :thumbsup:

That's cool! I don't recall him buying it but I do recall his video on it for evo a few years back.
