83 SC got new life -restoring prgress
 I't's all started with a rolled over 83 sc purchased from the insurance auction (super low miles -super nice condition ) as a restoration project for my body shop . After a lot of research and home work -I decided to convert it to 993 wide body . All OEM -steel panels , fenders and bumpers , nothing is skipped ,custom front and rear bumper rebars with custom brackets , oem headlights brackets , xenon with custom interior in the future . We are still in a process of fitting the gt side skirts and final panel adjustments before we going to custom paint this project with a Lamborghini pearl orange Candi with a flat- black roof and hood .Just wanted to share with you guys -without all of you and the forum we wouldn't do it .Big thanks to all you Pelican's for a all your help. Alex .(Urartu Auto , Kansas City )    [   [[/img] [    [

sounds like an interesting project, are you going to pull the motor and drop in something bigger, or leave as is?

Looks like its coming along great, looks hella like a 993. What color are you going to paint the body? And I REALLY like the look of the engine, are you going to keep it like that? Do you know the name of that shade of blue? I really like it
Good work, keep the pics coming

Thanks for the offering the interior -I already have 996 custom tailored seats , 993 console and more to come .
As far as engine -it was painted in BMW Laguna -Blue Seca color (Standox ) .Originaly I wanted to paint whole car with this bmw blue -but than my guys at the shio convinced me on the Lamborghini Pearl Orange . In order to install 993 panels on 911 platform -it took us a lot of time and modifications .Quarters , deck lid , wide flairs -took a lot of time and cutting .We did all oem steel panels with lead over the seams -so it took more time .Plus I dedicated a lot time to rust proofing and primming . Steering wheel hub -was custom created so we could fit Cayenne's heated steering wheel .the whole conversions is seams is like a never ending project If you do it the right way it'll take more extra time .Alex .
