Whoa, cool!
How is the 993 subframe attached to the rest of the chassis? What V6 is that? Will the rear shock mounts be triangulated to anything or otherwise reinforced? --DD

Very neat so far. Is there going to be any additional strengthening where the rear shocks bolt to the new mounts such as a cross brace or two or three? If so I would make them all removable so the mechanicals can be easily worked on. If not then I would expect a lot of movement under hard cornering loads from the sheetmetal.

Where are the pictures? Did he really fab up the 993 suspension in the back? I want to do the same.

I don't know if it was a whole 993 suspension, but I definitely saw the 993 subframe; it is a very distinctive looking group of cast aluminum pieces. The upper mounts for the shocks looked to be sheet metal triangles off of the wheel well and the rear of the engine bay. They didn't look strong from above, but there may have been more reinforcement underneath or planned for a later addition.
I wish the pics were still up... --DD
