Oval Bugster

[Jadewombat]

Are you grafting the oval to the boxster body, or building up a bug with boxster parts?

Yep, grafting. I had orginally planned on making it a bolt on affair, not wanting to cut up the Oval too much, but the dimensions of the Boxster make that impossible, some of the suspension pick-up points are right in the middle of body areas.

The only way I could dodge the cutting would be to build a tube chassis with the Boxster components attached, but I'm just not up for building a whole chassis right now. Maybe later? What would someone spend for a tube chassis a bug body could be bolted to that has Boxster running gear? Any how many of those crazy people exist?

This project is rigoddamndiculous. Makes me think about buying a wrecked boxter to throw under my other project...

Can't wait to see this one evolve.

No idea, it just showed up under the German Look Tuning section, the poster didn't know where it came from either...

the inspiration pic is a great photoshop of the 2012 911-gt3 rsr 4.0 and whomever did it should really get the credit.

here's the 911 for comparison
