    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!

  • @jakerade1
    @jakerade1 Месяц назад +20

    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.....

  • @redzone5655
    @redzone5655 Месяц назад +45

    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.

    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

    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. 👍👍

    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.

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.

    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.
