way to go thatcher! I remember you selling me those seats a few years back (thanks for being so helpful btw)

 

hey alex!

okay update time..

had to do a repair on a giant crack in the RSCS front splitter that I got in on Friday. Repaired it that night and Saturday morning.. set me back a good 5 hours.. I had to grind down the crack, reinforce it with two layers of carbon on the back side, shape the front leading edge with thickened resin, sand it down, put on a coat of primer, and sand that down





Saturday was a long day. I was at the shop till 5AM getting everything ready. Went home for three hours of sleep, and got up at 8AM to keep going on the car.









Sprayed the car Sunday night. Was practically running on fumes at that point.. dead tired, and a bit nervous about painting the car. My painter had to prep for his trip to Mexico, so I ended up painting it myself. turned out pretty well though, especially being my first time painting color and clear... and i suppose that's really the best way to learn.. just do it. I'm definitely happy with the results, and so relieved to be finished. now I can take my time putting it together and start enjoying the project. i'll wet sand and buff everything tomorrow, and then start putting everything together.

 

thanks for the updates.

 

little update.. finished wet-sanding and buffing the car and parts.. will start putting everything back together today!

 

This is just redonkouououlous! I don't know how the Fvck I could've missed this! Rep for you!

 

My seats arrived thanks to my good friends @ Recaro. We did leather Pole Positions with silver double top stitch, silver logo, and charcoal alcantara inserts.

I bolted on some of the body panels, cleaned and waxed all four wheel wells, and built a set of 18x9.5 18x11 three piece twists. I've also got a set of 18x10 18x12 Kinesis K28's with slicks coming, they should be here tomorrow. I still have the 18x9.5 18x11.5 RH 3.6 turbo wheels but I put them up for sale, the rear outer lips aren't wide enough for my car. Also building a set of 18x9.5 18x11 "Supertwists".. Supercups on one side of the car, 3 piece twists on the other side of the car, purple centers all around. Kinda different.





gross


getting there..


waxed and ready to rock






masking tape is your friend








they will suck in a good bit when the car is on the ground

 

Yes yes yes! Coming along very nicely Thatcher. Purple centers will be interesting. Are you going metallic or just glossy?

 

You're making very good progress! Good looking wheels. Not usually a fan of the three piece twists but these look great.

 

Thats great work I wish I could do these things myself.

My only question is why you are running a 964 wing on the back when you have gone to this much effort to make a 993RSR clone? Surely a 993RSR wing with the side intakes would be better like this one, either with or without the high level GT extension?

 

Oh man , sweet wheels you got there!!
