Sooo…
Some of you might have already seen it: I bought another GR — this time from a client who unfortunately had an accident on the Nürburgring Nordschleife. He crashed the car and caused quite a bit of expensive damage.
The insurance company declared it a total loss. Technically, it could be repaired, but the cost would exceed the car’s market value — and for what the repair would cost, he could simply buy a used, undamaged GR here in Switzerland.
Fortunately for me, I’ve got nearly everything I need left over from my race car:
The differential might also be damaged, but we won’t know for sure until the car is back together and ready for a test drive. If that’s the case, I’ll probably upgrade my race car with a 1.5-way diff and use its OEM one for this build.
The rear quarter will be repaired as best as possible — same for the front and rear fenders. I don’t mind a few scratches or small dents as long as they’re not too obvious.
We’ll also be using this project to try out new parts and work with a few partners we haven’t featured on the race car build — and of course, there will be more videos coming to YouTube.
Plus it will get a lot of leftover used parts from the race car.
Here’s the first one:

Fortunately for me, I’ve got nearly everything I need left over from my race car:
- Subframe
- Suspension
- Steering rack
- Door
- Lower wishbone
- Brakes (calipers, discs)
- Airbags
- Fender
- Driveshaft
- Headlight
- Wheel Bearing
- Wheel Hub
