Fotos del proceso de transformación de un 993C2 a un RSR Algunas de las mods: - Kevlar / Carbon roof - KW V3 coilovers - Brembo big reds - RSR flares and front lip - 3.8 RS wing - Custom leather Recaro Pole Positions - Schroth harnesses - Leather RS door cards - German RS carpet kit - Kinesis Supercups, I'll be widening them to be 18x10, 18x11.5 Empezando a trabajar en el... Polar Silver '95 C2 the donor car (flares, drivers side quarter panel, coilovers, brakes) prepped the cage for awlgrip anti-corrosion sealer and did some test fitting with the flares and various width wheels. painted the cage with the sealer. prepped the cage again and painted two coats of awlgrip 545 primer. Cage masked off and ready for paint picked up a scrap honda bumper from a body shop to cut up and make cutouts to plastic weld shut the bumperette holes and tow hook cover holes. VERY time consuming.. i was up till 11PM cutting and plastic welding. Colin sprayed the cage, underside of the wing, and backsides of the doors Ready for primer Rolled the car outside for a bit to shuffle things around inside Sanded to 400 and ready for primer and finally, base & clear Waxed and masked off the roof on the early 911, then laid out the kevlar. I cut the kevlar an inch from the edge of the roof, then cut the carbon and carbon vail exactly to the edge on the sides, and past the edge on the front and back Colin and i laid up the roof earlier today. We wet out the first layer (kevlar), second layer (carbon), third layer (carbon vail), then peel ply. cures over night, i can release it tomorrow
Continuamos... My plan was to build 18" Kinesis Supercups.. well i've changed directions on that. Decided to re-configure a set of 18" RH 3.6 turbo wheels that I had sitting around. Building them to be 18x9.5 18x11.5. still undecided about painting the centers a medium grey, or color matching them to the car (polar silver). thoughts? ESTA PARTE ES LA LECHE :drooling meanwhile, my wheel collection has been growing. it's been getting awfully hard to walk around my apartment.. :eek::eek::eek::eek: :drooling
KW V3's arrived from germany, and the kevlar carbon roof skin has been fitted to the car. I'm really happy with how it turned out
Latest progress.. My friend bryce stopped in after work to help block sand the roof before primer After 545, high build, and awlfair.. sanded up to 120 and ready for final coat of 545 primer yellow stuff over areas with metal work = awlgrip anti-corrosive 30-Y-94 primer white = awlgrip 545 primer beige = awlgrip high build primer red = awlgrip awlfair fairing compound roof and quarter panel will get final coat of primer tomorrow, which i'll sand to 400 on Thursday/Friday. we'll be spraying color and clear over the weekend, i'll start putting everything back together next week
Major updates 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.
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 Waxed and ready to rock then some quarter inch sound deadening foam so that the carpet kit would go down smooth
Installed the carpet kit yesterday and finished it up today. Mounted sidemounts and sliders on the Pole Positions, threw them in the car. I've still got some finish work to do on the interior, but it's getting close! And finally...
Here are the latest pictures. I've been daily driving the car for a few days now, it's so much fun to drive! full shoot courtesy of mike gilbert coming in a week! Más info en Wheels Whores

Eso si que es una reconstruccion/conversion exaustiva :eek: La verdad es que tiene una pinta espectacular :drooling
Ese coche está (o estaba hace unas semanas) en venta. Desgraciadamente está al otro lado del charco...
