Project Turbo 69` part 3 Im getting there !

Its been about a month since my last post on this project. Here`s what`s new with the car since then(not much really).
I installed a set of later style outside door handles, all the glass and mouldings , a temperary but great sounding dual in dual out GHL muffler(came of my R/S clone because I just turbocharged it).
Got new suspension on the way which includes a full 935 billet aluminum penske/kmr coilover set with nitrogen resivoirs and in car damping knobs, full mono ball throughout the entire setup. 935 billet front control arms and billet rear sring plates that are made for coilovers. The brakes are big reds and according to fred these are not standard 993 turbo units but better (bigger) and have ti floating hats and special pads(wont use the pads on the street) Also I just bought a brand new set of replica full leather vintage ST seats shipped here from italy . I dont have anything installed yet because the parts havent arrived yet. I should be getting them once the guys from Kelly Moss(fred howard and jeff stone) finish the suspension .
Here`s a few current pictures of the 69` as well as a few shots of the stuff I just bought. Im so exicted about this car I dont even respect my R/S clone much anymore which btw is very fast now with the turbo aside from the slipping 215mm clutch but thats another story.

Well it turns out the other pictures are too big and I cant figure out how to downsize them to load here. Well I will take smaller pics once they arrive unless someone will do it for me.

OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY, more pictures as soon as you can Kurt, it looks great with those HREs!

Wait a minute here, you did what now? Is that a Turo 2.2L? Or an actual 3.3L 930 engine in there? Either way wow and tell me more.

Its still a 2.2S motor(webers) with a type911 tranny. Sitting 40 feet away from the car is a 2k mile C2 turbo 965 engine with a Kokeln intercooler and modified injection . Im still waiting to hear from floyd (racerbvd`s friend) about his converted(for early car) g50 tranny setup so I can install this beast.

Kurt, that's going to be an awesome car!

You are a sick man. That is just wrong. I cannot wait for details.

BTW guys know one asked me how the steel rear bumpers are mated correctly to the R/S flares . They are steel carrera pieces welded to the early bumpers . The center is just a standard porsche nos steel unit. I had purchased an aluminum center but felt it would be way to fragile to lean against while knowing I will be spending many hours back there with threatening knees that could easily bend it during the drivetrain install plus working out all the expected bugs.

Kurt Williams

Kurt,
Yes, I was going to ask.

Are these RS bumper ends available? If so, what's the source?

BTW, your car looks great.

Thanks,
Sherwood

wow! Gorgeous car, Im curious to see the seats.

The car looks great any chance of getting pics of the other cars?

Kurt;
What color is the Blue on that car. It's a great color!

Beautiful, that color is just awesome.

WOW, Im blown away. Beauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuutiful car.

Thanks guy`s I needed a little boost to keep me rollin .

Sherwood, unfortunately the R/S touring bumper ends are not available. But there is always used ones $$$$.

Cornpanzer, I will post pics of the seats as soon as they arrive. I asked for them to be held until I return from vacation on jan 5th . They are however here in the USA(Rockford IL) waiting for me at the distributor.
You guys are gunna like these seats(full leather) and I will turn you on to the new sole distributor when I return and have close up pictures.

John the color is called Nogaro blue. Go hear for info www.nogaro.org

Steve I assume you just interested in seeing pics of the other 911 cars ? I will post a few here for you.

This is the t/4 turbocharged R/S replica

This is a 69T I bought for no reason other than cheap. Its a 99% original(paint too) ugly sand beige rustfree slug. I dont know what im going to do with it. I got it 2 years ago and did nothing to it other than leave it sitting in my friends driveway outside in the weather.

Just got my new full leather ST seats(replica`s) on thursday. This coming week I will be installing the carpet and seats. They are so beautiful and the leather is very soft. The box with the 2 seats only weighed about 25 lbs . The tracks came in a separate box . I will post some pictures soon. The brakes and suspension deal should be coming together soon as well. I figure about 3 months before its all done. Cant wait.

Kurt, it is looking so smoooth! I love that color. Can't wait to see the int. :)

Kurt, who do you recommend for paint work in the NYC area? Thanks!

James

My painter(i did all the bodywork) is in huntington and the business name is Triple G auto body. They are at exit 51 north off of the LIE . There # is 631-427-6082 ask for vinny and tell um I reccomended them. Honestly I wouldnt have let anyone else touch it . The car doesnt even need to be polished ! Its just unbelievable what those guys(vinny jr) can do with paint . It doesnt hurt that they have a brand new $60k Surebake spray booth either. The car was heated for 3 hrs at 125 deg to harden the finish. I couldnt be happier.
