Here is a couple pics (last one is after her filthy trip back from out of state) and my to-do list that is in no particular order, and is likely to change day to day.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hey everyone, after lurking for years and finally becoming a RL member a couple months ago I decided to jump ship on BMW M and move to Porsche. This 996TT has good history, low miles (53.5k) and the mods I want, and a good color to boot. Mechanically she is awesome, but the body and interior is going to need some TLC to get back up to my standards.
This car was originally built by a rennlister a couple years ago (about 10k miles ago). Markski provided most the engine parts (and will help me with any re-tuning i may want to do in the future). Suspension is KWv3 and GMG goodies.
Here is a couple pics (last one is after her filthy trip back from out of state) and my to-do list that is in no particular order, and is likely to change day to day. Ill update this thread as she progresses. Suggestions welcome!

headlights are actually painted body color. Outside lense and inside. So sad
i have started to restore them, they came out pretty good. Pics tomorrow.
engine mounts are new-ish. Exhaust is even, I'll see if there is any adjustment to bring them up a tad.
Great looking car!
+996 on removing those headlight covers i'm personally not a fan.
I really like that ride height, any reason you're wanting to raise it?
Welcome and congrats. Beautiful exterior color. I suspect it has a gray interior. Those are tough to keep looking nice.
Lots of us 996tt types here on the NA996 forum, but be sure to post an introductory thread over in the 996tt forum also.
Smart man! It seems like the painted masks on your car would have been illegal and down right unsafe since it was painted over the turn signals. Yikes! Good news you're restoring it back to the factory look.
I've never liked those masks personally. I always thought the 996 lights were cool, but since they were unconventional to the 911 purists, they hated us... well, you know where that discussion could lead. hahaha!
