[Ep2] After buying a wrecked ’20 Porsche Cayman GT4 at Copart salvage auction, now we need to get to work rebuilding it! I ordered ALL the parts for this project, some new from Porsche, some used off eBay!
Today we tackle the rear end with some help fro the guys at @Street Bandito, knock out some interior work and get this Cayman GT4 one step closer to being finished!

As the original owner it’s so cool to see you guys bringing it back! Painful to understand why insurance wrote it off. It’s great to see it being driven.
At Road America this weekend with the PCA and shared the video series with some guy’s who tracked with me. Two thumbs up.
I just had this wild idea.
Find the guy the used to own the Cayman until it crashed and sell the car to him/her – no discounts – have him/her on your show; in person.
NOW that would be some interesting content…or have him on even if he doesn't buy the car so he/she/it can tell the story of the wreck…or do a video conference call and tape it and play it on your Channel. Just a thought but I think pretty damn good thought.
Love how it is all going together without much of a problem; except for millions of parts.
I have done that same board, hook and pull for pulling out dented body parts but the car was a 1946 Chev panel truck but I didn't have a forklift. I connected the chain somewhat like you did and instead of a forklift the end of the chain went around a tree and put the truck in reverse and went back slowly; I had a spotter back there telling me when to stop pulling. Poor college students have to be creative.
To your question – ALL bolts should match. It shows you care at all levels of assembly.
I would like to know and I bet everyone watching would like to know:
– what did you buy the Cayman for $$$
– what did the parts cost?
– approximately how many hours did you/staff put into taking off, putting on, time searching for and ordering parts?
– TOTAL cost and how much could you sell the Cayman for = PROFIT.
— you may not want to tell us for many reason like, a) when you get around to selling the car one of the buyers might be listening, b) you have others who do this same kind of scrapping and you don't want to give them an advantage they can learn from your business.

What was the total costs involved in the build????
I wonder who's the lucky guy that's going to be owning a totalled Porsche ! Lol
I want those titanium CAT 😉
I think AdamLZ might have another Porsche to rebuild for you…
Great content! Very interesting repair and details.
It's amazing to me how many people don't know how to pronounce Porsche…..Listen up it's a TWO SYLLABLE WORD!!!! POR-SCHE
If you still have the original front headlights and tail lights I would like to have them would you sell them to me for the cost of shipping?
Was that Ricky Boada’s Ford model A????
At the end u still have a totaled Porsch!E!
am barely holding my saliva while watching this
IF ITS 24 HOURS WONT IT BE JUST AS DARK LOL
Body hammer and dolly? Hammer out the damage with the pressure on it.
Where you guys buy the parts for these Sports cars? I wanna do this
Crazy I bought some s2000 parts off your eBay store. Cool to see you have a GT4 ( GT4 owner as well)
I might have missed the first video.. but unless you plan to just track this car i cant believe you would repair a car like using the a forklift. my mind is baffled.
Lmao love the out takes
Why wouldn't you just put the forklift handbrake on & use a chain pull? Much more controlled.
Matching Bolts! Nothing drives me more nuts!
lolololol you're keeping the front bottom splitter. can we get a close-up of just that? it scrapes so much on inclines. the rear diffuser too
Nice rebuild. I’m just some old boy in Louisiana but I’d done it the exact same way. It’s amazing what a block of wood and something to pull on can do
New to the channel and love the content. Not sure if you have plans to do this, but once you get the 997 Turbo & Cayman GT4 completed, it’d be awesome to do a financial breakdown of everything it costs to repair!
Man, it all has to match…
