Just dropped off the new Spec Stage 3+ with billet flywheel for installation.
Waiting on TRG to send the front and rear drop links.
Engine work stuff is almost done. Its then back to the body shop to install the rear bumper, perform some final adjustments, and then get the car on the road.
Raj at 3C is currently working a custom 993 style hood for me. He purchased an aluminum welder to finish the job. Should have it very soon.

thanks for that comment.
Updates
Spec Stage 3 Clutch and Flywheel is currently getting installed this week with the K24 turbos with 18G wheel and upgraded wastegates. We are still waiting for the 997 TT intake ducting to arrive from Germany as well as the 997 TT intercooler brackets.
The Racers Group also just sent out their beefier drop links to replace the broken JIC ones. My estimate is the car should be ready to deliver back to 3C in 1-2 weeks for the rear bumper installation. After a color sand and buff the car should be ready.
First thing after delivery will be a trip to a Dyno to see how much power the car is putting down. I hope to be in the 500-520 RWHP range.
Thanks to everyone who has followed this build thread. The last 6 months of the build process have been tedious and stressing but the final product will be well worth it.
I need to thank all the sponsors who believed in this project from the start and have supplied their expertise, products, hours of labor to help me realize my vision.

Like with most complex projects you make huge progress early on and then the final details take forever, but Im sure the patience will pay off.
Will definitely be a very unique whip when its all said and done

Rep Power: 48 After all the engine work the car will be strapped on a dyno to see what kind of power it is putting down. I am hoping 520-540 to the wheels which would be around 600 flywheel HP. Then its back to 3C to install the new 993 vented style hood, install the Techart Rear Bumper and color sand the entire car. I don't think I will have the actual car back to drive until mid to late April.
