here's the latest.. the 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.

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    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.

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

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      they will suck in a good bit when the car is on the ground
