Christophe,
Very nice work. I really like the "do-it-yourself" approach that you are taking. Good luck with your project. Can you tell me what seats you are using?

Regards,

Cleaning, brushing and degreasing before painting.

OK, Randy

How do you get ze french accent marks, as in over the e in tres, in posts to Pelican? Nice touch, and I'd like to be able to show off my rusty German by using umlauts (though I can show off my scholarship by just inserting the e that the umlaut stands for).

I tried to send a private message, but your PM inbox is overflowing I was told.

I symphathize with Christophe when it comes to drilling holes in stainless steel.

Walt

I have no idea, so I just stole it from Andre 3.0, above!

If I want to type umlauts, I use Microsoft Word, with the insert character tool, or my special custom keys I have set up for them. Then I copy and paste into the post window.

thanks walt for your symphatie, when i drill ;)

Well this weekend some buying in Castorama Shop (your home depot) and animaland (Pet shop):

A piece of wire netting, a stainless mess tin for big dog and two black leather dog Leash, very well-made.

But why to make?

Let us begin with the wire netting:

Let us start again by the front bumper in which I had already made an unrefined cut for the cooling of front radiator

http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/4382/chocav2.jpg

I finished first of all the cut of the opening

Then drilling the fixation holes inside thus invisible in the final.

For front bumper, the next stage, filling in some place, adjustment on the car, the fixation and then painting.

Well for the stainless mess tin and the two dog Leash, two indications:

Sorry, did you say RSR replica...? That's not the correct front bumber...

why?

this is a picture of a real RSR

http://www.titchati.be/porsche/Pics/...eville-195.jpg

it's the same !

That is from a 2.7 RS narrow body... but I can be wrong... I am being honest, have never seen a bumper like that on a original 2.8 RSR.

But, keep the good work! Congrats!

Alex

i take information on this website 1973 RSRs... Photo Gallery by slidevalve911rsr at pbase.com

and i think the 2.8 rsr is this

thanks for support

Great project! Where did you purchase the porsche crest sticker?

Jeff

he come from US , tremotorsports ;)

Actually, that is the RSR version, but many people use it on RS replicas. The RSR was the only one with the center oil cooler so they had the opening. The RS just homologated the bumper fiberglass so with no oil cooler there they just left the air dam blocked off. It looks weird, and I like the RSR much better.

The RSR version is also made to work with the wider RSR flares, but many companies now make RSR open mouth bumpers to fit narrower RS width front flares.

yes flieger

Mine come from this car , it's an second hand because the owner have change the look of the car and have buying a ST front Bumper.
