And ask as many questions as you need to. That is the reason for this forum and for sharing this thread.

Decided to use the 965 gasket... Bottom front lip still not in place... just held in with some pliers for the photo...

Do you happen to have a part number for that gasket?

Sure, here you go: 965-505-143-01 Remember, this is for a wide body conversion. Same as what the 965 (1994 911 Turbo) uses.

The same gasket but for a narrow body is: 964-505-143-01

Thanks. I have a widebody car as well, which is why I asked.

Ha! Well, yours has an engine, an interior, wheels, a wiring harness, and is actually drivable. I think I'd prefer to be in your shoes right about now.

Once the body is done then we have to drop the engine and tranny to clean it up, paint the engine bay, fix the crushed oil lines (using the pressured air method), change oil seals, injector boots, go over the brakes...

But I want to take it to the track for DEs...

Some photos from the fuel filler build...

Bring it to our Dark Side DE May 4th & 5th.

What you can't see is that they're all autographed. The E46 is signed by Hans Stuck, Boris Said, Bill Auberlen, and Justin Marks from when they were racing that car in Speed WC GT. :-)

I will install driver side mirror on Friday. Front lower spoiler was repainted and waiting to be installed as well...

I'll take the one on the right with my Pinot please.

Gorgeous work. Not many go for the ducted flares like that and I think it looks perfect on this car.

[stuttgart46]

That's a great looking trio.
It's amazing how the RSR just steals the show.
