New 2.8 RSR Evocation

[tof2.7]

Thanks fellows ....
Next stage coming quickly

[jager911]

Glad you got your car back! What's the final color or do want it to be a surprise? I'm in the middle of stripping and painting my car also but I feel like a slacker watching your work. I agonized over going wide body and decided to stay narrow body.

[tof2.7]

Hi jager,
Thanks for your support. For the color i study between gray, gray or gray....
But witch gray, i live the slate gray, but i love too the gray of the 2010 997 sport classic, so it will be gray ....

[tof2.7]

then we continue sanding ...................... smells good painting: lol:





and finally the wheels is cool like that.



end of the next stage of sanding grid support front

then removing the inner polys epoxy paint.

......

[tof2.7]

The good news is that all the polys and accessories are adjusted.

I duplicated the grid "with hole hole" across the front

plate will transfer as soon as the paint will be made ​​to be replaced by the sticker on the hood







and just for fun ..............



like you can see in these picture i'm a big baby (1m92 for 110 kilograms) so the seats i have are not very comfortable and definitively too small;



so i have selling the corbeau turini seats and found two secondhand Opel Kadett GTE Recaro seats.

And found this









result: deserve a good cleaning but otherwise super clean, not a hole, everything works perfectly, but it lacks a plastic button failover driver side.

and great comfort to me

[tof2.7]

First action all dissmantle



and a friend give me back this carpets to make them reproduce the template and rubber



I brought this

first step the cut pieces



After a washing machine run overnight to dry and the pieces are ready to be reassembled



once all back (and the edges of the frames and foam seat and back of the foam on their little seam attack and now is that we stop laughing, with the son braided polyester sewing 1mm5 and a very large curved needle, it takes three hours a piece (so six hours for a seat) and a pair of tape because it is that dry it stings a large needle ......................




end of hostilities to 1 am





here is the result after / before



I attack the second.

I kept a nice piece to the headrests

either I keep it and only the central band

I find kind either 2.4 and I completely rebuilt velvet

[village idiot]

Very nice job on the seats!

[tof2.7]

I finally finished the two seats and now I'll have to buy me fingers!!

I farted during the needle into two pieces of the net once it took on a new look

here to see the size of the needle and thread, compared to a credit card size.



but it was worth it







and the finish is nickel on the old sides a little bit of lawn (it used to shave her head ...) to remove pilling



Tomorrow we take care of the rails ... I have an idea that I must dig I'll blow up the old rails ......

[RWebb]

how many hours did the recover take?

[tof2.7]

With all action (dismantle, cleaning .....) i have spend 7/8 hours per seat.

[tof2.7]

I finally overcame the bindings seats

using the original rails Opel

it is clear in this view the tab curve which is welded to the rail



so I made the casings on the holes of brackets to the chassis so that the screw heads no longer locks the screw heads that are on the mounting side seat.



and it goes ......... and a helping paw down on the grinder that has outlived its usefulness



by cons it took to carve out an allen key over "short" because the space between the seat and the rail is minimal.



and one fixed .....



results top sitting very low, very good to cram down my stumps and especially comfort top

[tof2.7]

Interior ...................... finally finished until the next bad idea

I made a small plexiglass cover for the door access to the cross of the gear box





and above the seats (it was very hard ...... )

[jager911]

Interior and seats looking good, is that a Prototipo wheel?

[tof2.7]

yes Prototipo

[tof2.7]

to finish the interior, the alone thing i wanted was the rubber mat, but so expensive to buying in states and delivery, taxes ...... to France

the better think found 5 fellows

someone who have old mat

and DIY





Front







Rear







Finish

[tof2.7]

then paint inside the polys

and suddenly I was trying to spray paint ....... well it's hot!

So the program two layers of epoxy paint in Restom, then a layer of resin antigravillons and caouctchouc, then a new coat of epoxy paint to finish.







and we put it all to dry



I took the opportunity to make a first layer on the accessories, grills etc. .....



preparation of the final pieces



a little paint and all share in the painter

the scale 1:1

the scale of 1:18



the scale 1:43

[tof2.7]

Departure in painting next week, I found the good painter ....... It'll be a killer

Right now:

cleaning swab of each piece, polishing chrome and plastics, paint a little epoxy on some parts.

Two-day transfer the tinted windows baked in the sun. Large galley with a small razor blade that cuts out the fingers and finishing with acetone, which cauterizes the wounds .... It's enjoyable.

Finding the best price on the net for some little things, like some specific seals rsr, ice rear reflectors, ...

So the work of the shadow, but that takes time.

I look good on top of the painter departure

I painted a little with my super "car shed", the compressor and gun



I clean, I put, I class I note my shopping list



I polished and all that can be .........



and if I eats nails and then I got to the wrist

for completion



it smells good the pieces are almost complete ....

For my two holes in the hood right one was to receive as a cache on some model of competition



the left one is for the filling tank but it will be set up that when I bought a new tank (cause risk of explosion when welding pipes on the old tank) so whilst it will also cache

plans



and set up



and waiting for the green light for the start I deal with models that will be painted at the same time. everything is set to carry the spray gun.
