Unless Morimoto sponsors the build I wouldn’t bother replacing the taillights. The new ones look quite good to me 😀 great Matt, looking fantastic 👍
Matt, please no E tape wire looms. That is all, good day.
Nice Build! Like the Intake and the "Bürzel" = German for Ducktail ;)
Yes get morimoto and please convince them to make a 996 turbo version next 🙏
Cayman
987.1 cayman taillight
In the engine compartment, it is better to use fabric rather than plastic adhesive tapes. They dont shrink from heat, they dont harden with ages. And look more OEM than cheap garage solution. 3M should have them.
Should definitely look at getting a depin set and learning to repin the connectors.
🙂
Great job, keep up the good work.
That was a long journey, I admire your passion and patience brother!!!
Thank you! Still a bit to go, but getting there!
Another great video I admire your attention to detail…
So i don't know about the 996 but on the 997 when you lock the car the lights flash twice for "good bye" and unlock they flash once for "hi".
My 996.2 Turbo flashes lights when locking with keyfob.
Ah damn it was hoping you would go with morimoto taillights. Give those depos back and get them instead
Possibly!
“Which one is the brake pedal?” …”women” 😂 no hard feelings, just thought that was classic!
way to go! I enjoyed watching that. I like the new colour. although I prefer stockish looking led taillights
Keep these tail lights Matt, they look great and 'period correct' somehow with those LED dots.
If u can do it (work on cars) I know I can do it as well. Thanks for the confidence,and motivation 🙏🏾
@19:36 my 996 lights flash with the key fob, about once every other week!
@matt My 03 6tt lights flash when I lock and unlock using the fob.
Really coming together man, loving the series from London UK
987.2 Cayman and Boxster tail light
Oooooh this will look so good when finished.
I did not like the yellow on the 996 (still not my cup of tea) and also the grey seemed not to be a good choice (at least my opinion). But this grew on me a lot, I think the car will look good once it is finished.
Like!
My ‘02 996TT lights flash when locking.
"Women" hahaha. How bad did you pay for that comment? Haha
Not yet lol
Hi Matt 👋 the rear of the car is looking perfect 👌 and it all works. Great job bro. Chat soon 😅🇨🇮
The holes you drilled out for the ducting and wires, did you cover the exposed metal with any paint after? Hopefully doesn’t rust from moister buildup
Definitely upgrade to the Morimotos.
On the industrial side. We call them nutserts and use a pneumatic nutsert gun.
Ok understood 😄 concerning taillights! Keep the right one in case... it is a tequipment OEM one. The left one is from a Cayman, you are right!
La bise
I had similar taillights fitted to my 997.1 Carrera 4s, and they give a more 'modern' look to the car.
Your mods from Rennline have really lifted the engine bay, especially the air ducts, which look a top notch product.
The CF airbox also looks the business, & I was happy to see that you kept the OEM style intake system, avoiding the pitfall of fitting a cone type performance intake, which just sucks warm air from the engine bay. The Porsche Engineers designed the OEM intake/airbox for a reason!
Keep up the great work & looking forward to the interior being installed in the near future.👍👍
Thanks so much for the positive feedback!
I liked the grill painting montage. Nice work Matt, she’s coming along nicely!
Matt. You’re coming along way on the build and your channel. Love the content. Can’t wait to see what’s next.
In the rear air intake. Is there a rubber gasket that seals the two pieces when you close the trunk? Just an idea so they don’t get chipped up when driving.
They don't make the gasket anymore. I have to do something custom.
My 996 does flash the lights with when I lock/unlock it. It may be a setting you have to configure, but I know mine is stock.
I guess it would help if my 996 fob worked lol
You should have used threaded inserts instead on rivet nuts. The reason is the consequence fue saw in the right hole: thar rivet nut cracked/broke the hole. Rivet nuts are suited for metal not for fiber glass. Instead threaded inserts with proper glue would have been the proper way to go.
These are threaded inserts lol
That looks really really good ! Well done 👍🏻 ❤
Looking fantastic, Matt!!!!
What a build. Love it!!!
Woow! This car is looking awesome 👏🏻
Like lego bricks for big boys
THOSE TAIL LIGHTS ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
Looking great! May want to add blue locktite on the hardware holding the air ducts to the trunk and also some slim foam to be able to create a seal to the air box.
I do want foam.
To me these lights make it pop
I absolutely love this project!! The exterior color choice is nothing short of perfection!!! Keep up the outstanding work! Over the moon excited to see the finished product! 💪💪💪
Thanks a bunch!!
Looks like a boxster?
Definitely Morimoto!
I think you ll need to buy a cayman so you can install that tailight otherwise it will feel lonely
Ahahaha true! Find me a crashed GT4!
Matt, this remains one of the best builds on YT. You have come a long way with the car and your abilities too. Fascinating to watch the final stages now. Keep those alloys OEM😉😊
Thanks so much! Not sure about wheels yet
Looking great legend
PURRRRFECTTTTTT...!!!
Put some foam tape on the ducts to utilize all the air flow 😊
Planning on it!
Horn : meep. 😂
perfect lunch break video!
Hope you enjoyed it!
@@matt13ross always
Definitely a 987.1
Why didn't she bring you a sandwich?
Lolololol
Yup… Cayman
Looks good
Nice progress Matt, she is coming along well.
Thanks!
Very jealous - given the effort you've put in to date that car will be lovely when it's finished !
Looks like a 987 tail light
I also prefer stock tail lights over both aftermarket options 🤷♂️
DANG!!! Easily my favorite TH-cam build!!! Looks great Matt!!! 😁👍🏼
Thanks so much!!
Morimotos would look insane. Depos are a great option too!! Looks super good either way 🔥🔥🔥 your taste is so clean
did you test the fan ? xD
Not yet
It’s coming along great Matt. Looks like it’s about time for glass.
Thanks for inspiring me to purchase a project car for my TH-cam channel!! I’m looking into a 987.1 actually hahaha much cheaper than a 911! Great videos as usual
Good for you! Start wrenching!!
I note you trusted the wiring colour on the deck fan. You need to check the polarity / that it’s blowing / pulling in the correct direction.
True, good point!
You can also just disassemble the plug and remove the pins and insert the original ones, no need to cut the original wires as it has the pins already
Btw the light comes from a cayman/boxster
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍
Wrong driver side tail is 987.1 Cayman/ Boxster. Those aftermarket tails look great when they're NOT lit. When they are you can't help but notice how small each LED is.
Shouldn't there be a gasket for the bottom of the decklid intake runners? Definitely has a lip for it.
Are you going to go back and do something about the zip ties on the decklid strut? lol
Foam, yes. But you can buy it so it has to be custom. And I need the zip ties to hold it there lol
Looking better and better. Can't wait for the final reveal and the "Porsche Build in 10 minutes" video. This has been a long one and it feels like we're between 3rd and home. Jury, IMO, is still out on the paint color but I'll save final "Internet troll" judgement until the final video (as if I had any influence on it whatsoever). Again, great work!
Very close!!
The asking the wife bit had me laughing. I asked my wife for the step stool out of my 13 year old’s stepsons bedroom earlier because he was sleeping (he’s cool and I respect his space, mom can do anything though!) and later she was like “oh yeah, I forgot”. I got the same vibe. Sheeesh!
Ahahaha typical!!
Hell yeah!!! It's coming together! 💪
You should get yourself some fabric wire loom tape. It looks way more OEM, I used it on my 996 LS swap. Lots of re-wiring done on that project.
Just ordered some thanks!
Congratulations on a sick project Matt. I've been watching every vid since the beginning of the 996. Really Inspiring the way you tackle these megaprojects that most people wouldn't even do in a full-on shop, DIY in your garage. Super awesome. I hope the car is a blast. Excited to see what you do next. Also you're the only youtuber I got merch from i got that baby blue 996 hoodie. One of my favorite sweatshirts.
Anyway, good shit bud.
Thanks so much for the purchase and watching all the videos, means a lot!
You’ve gotten very, very good at the video editing Matt 👍🏻 really great content and lots of fun to watch. That little Grey Ghost is gonna be just beautiful 😁🫵🏻 Get us some stickers 😊
Thank for the feedback!
All that carbon is so sexy! Would love to see a custom carbon fan shroud to finish it off and cover up the hardware.
That electrical tape is gonna be a real nightmare if you ever have to remove it. Turns into a nasty goo in no time. Replace it with some Tesa fabric harness tape. It's the proper OEM tape for most German cars.
Do they have a carbon fan shroud? I actually just ordered new tape haha.
🚙👏👍💪🤩
Matt this prob one my favourite rebuilds going love everything about it the slow detailed pace! Awesome. What you don't see with most people they all wam bang done.
Getting ever better with each upload, Matt!
I mean, even better than I figured it could be - you embody perseverance!
Your video editing augments the great progress you've made - love i!
I appreciate that!
New timelapse song at 7:30 is fire!
Seeing the build come together is so satisfying, im really enjoying it, cant wait to have it done. Cant help but ask, where are you going to store both porsches and the E36, you only have 2 garage spaces and I assume you will want to continue to use one for projects.
th-cam.com/video/YIvuuZy9uIE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=gdB1jHzUSrtC8MRU choooon
Def not keeping both Porsches lol
Please get some flush cut snips, for snipping the cable ties. You'll thank me when you rub your hand over those edges!
Mine aren't old lol
🔥🔥
Really making progress Matt! Congratulations on this project! I love it!! I still would have picked a different color, but we have already been over that! LOL!
Haha i love it!
Matt, you are aware that you need to retrofit the original rear lid air intake rubber gaskets, to the new carbon intake tubes, right? (Otherwise the will not seal up which will result in reduced airflow, which is not the general idea).
I don't have any :( and you can't order them either.
What’s the next project after this one? This build is ending and I’m freaking out lol
Plenty of stuff to go, plus mods! I also have the E92 M3
Those ducts look real good. Should there be a rubber gasket of some sorts between the two halves to seal them? Back lights look friggin awesome too. 😎👍🏍
Yes but you can't buy it anymore!
You said Nardo Gray... I thought it's Chalk? Looks great anyway. 👍
It's chalk. Sometimes I say nardo, close enough! lol
Morimoto tails look dope!! get them
you have two choices of stock lights, the red one you have is an option that is fairly desirable and i personally think looks best. the depos look like autozone tier and ruin the rear body line.
I disagree! But not everyone will love these.
Thanks for the link Matt keep up the great work.
Cars coming together well .
Nice work man, big up from France !
Nardo Grey much darker isn’t it?? I thought this is Chalk??
Chalk, sorry!
Hey Matt could you post a link to the Carbon Fiber airbox please thank you.

Scroll to their 997 section, tons of great stuff!
The taillights look great on that car
No trunk light? What if some of your tucked cables are for that?
Where does the light go?
Nice job man, as one of the world greatest said… progress is a slow process.
But did you not tell us in the last video you were going to finish the interior first?
Yeah my mistake. Next video I assure you!
Matt...you should invest in cloth tape to cover up the wiring.
Ordered!
The cayman tail light is hilarious
Are we going to see this car at the Rennsport Dragon Rally this summer?
Where is that? Lol
I hate to be that guy but the engine cover/rear deck lid doesn’t match the rest of the car 🫣
Must be the video. Def matches
