Still not showing up. Says to update to photobucket pro. Bandwidth has been exceeded.

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 :mad:

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 finishing the job myself. turned out pretty well though, especially being my first time spraying anything besides primer... 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.

Very impressive progress, well done.

Fun, fun, fun!

Are you going to stay with the C2 3.8 tail or go with a 993 tail?

The last several posts say "Photobucket Bandwidth exceeded" ...

Weird, after I typed this they popped up!

staying with the 3.8 tail for now, although my preference would be the 993 supercup tail. if someone wanted to trade me, I would.

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.

Great thread and photos. Thanks for sharing.
I find these inspirational. It's great seeing someones dream come to life.

Well done young man!

great build,love those seats

Subscribed. Nice work on the roof.

A little late to the party but a crossbar in that roof section would have been a good idea. The CF roof panel offers no protection from rollover or intrusion. Car looks great.. congrats.
