Rest assured it is indeed a nice colour and a fantastic build. So many nice details like the brake plumbing and the engine steadies. On 7th Nov, 2008 Nic said:

The overlap on the front bulkhead was changed during Mk1 production. Rather early aswell. I seem to remember it was in 60 or 61. |

you will encounter same issues what ever the cc mate i would go balls out and 1380 it :) good thing about 998 is with mirage manifolds you dont even need to cut the car up to make it fit (i do believe)
