Check out the youtube videos of just the process to remove all the panels and get access to the engine on a Cayman. Yes, it's possible, but it's a lot easier to just pop the hood on a BRZ.

Totally agree and that’s what has kept me from pulling the trigger. I can do a lot of work on my own, but I am still worried about big things like engine failure. A lot more expensive then a BRZ. The car would be a weekend car so it will be easy to do the maintenance. Take my time, no rush if you don’t need the car. I have the BRZ and WRX that are reliable. I am not afraid of working on cars, took almost the entire interior out of my WRX to fix rust recently. It’s like a puzzle to me and fun, as long as you are not rushed. It’s worse when it’s your only car, then you have no choice but to finish the job. If I get frustrated, I just walk away, come back to it later. I need projects in my life.
