Rad arrived. I might have overdone it, this thing is heavy and a bit bigger than I wanted, but I think bigger is better if a turbo is on the horizon.

This is the closest example of the color combo I'll have when I'm done, except in satin not gloss:

Beautiful....
There's a vision many have had but none have achieved... Just beautiful...
I'm sure that you can set me straight, but, because the Boxter is mid-engine, Isn't there some room behind the current motor where the beetle motor useta sit? It seems, (from here at my computer screen :-)) that it would be a smart/dandy place to put the radiator. You could use some decklid venting, maybe some scoops under the car, or quarter window NACA ducts or some such to put it in back? Always loved Wally's intercooler tail idea, too. If ever you need an armchair quarterback, without a dog in the race, I'll be sitting right here at my computer happy to help!

Thanks guys, coming from you I feel honored!
Slowly but surely! Clatter, it's not as big as you might think under the deck lid with the transaxle in there! Then the Boxster already has the rads up front, so you want to go with the flow as I'm already nervous that I've moved the COG rearward with the front overhang being much shorter and the cage being more rearward. Finally I'm trying to keep as much storage inside as I can to transport a set of track tires, so ducting is out(I think it's fugly too!). I may do something with ducting to the engine compartment through the roof though....  Jason

Picked this little guy up for the A/W intercooler rad. It's a stock 996/986 center rad, about $170 so I thought that was reasonable. Has about 3/4" inlet/outlet. Unfortunately I don't have any more room around the rad, so it's going to have to find a place somewhere else in the car...

Big day, I finally came up with a structural solution that is also elegant in its design. It ties the inner and outer Boxster chassis, the new frame rails, and the roll cage together, all while allowing a nice edge to finish the bug/Boxster seam along.
     Also finishing up a factory-like re-attachment of all the lines running back to front.  Jason
