New 2.8 RSR Evocation

[al lkosmal]

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,

This weekend, I advanced passenger before wing and I ended the exhaust.

Preparation of the drilling for the pins, the Stainless steel 2mm is very good but to drill ...... caliente!



the cap





Cleaning, brushing and degreasing before painting.

The brush, take up on a drill, cleans well ( a before / after )



Masking for having a stainless finish on 10mm



In painting, many of successive coat with 30 minutes of sandbank between every coat because this silicone paint have tendency to be poured



finishing on an exit(release), I am going to wait for a few days that solvents are evaporated well to clean well the stainless steel and the adhesive tape of masking.



and now finish





in the future when i see if the weld are ok and don't broken, so i will "meuler" (polish?) each and make a new paint on.

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.

[RWebb]

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

[Flieger]

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



I finished first of all the cut of the opening



Creation of a size



Cut of the plate



with the size and marks with orange adhesive tape, folding session



Organized for check

[tof2.7]

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...

[tof2.7]

why?

this is a picture of a real RSR



it's the same !

[AlexJ]

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!

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.

[tof2.7]

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.



and he have wider flares, the look seems like mine when it was finish.

[tof2.7]

so after some week end and a completed week, just for my two children and my lovely wife, i be back now and i have begin to work .....

I had prepared the necessary tools for a quality work.

And I prepare me to work and think after this day no possible come back!

But if you're crazy .............. you're crazy

Prepare the work on the back crossbar



And then cut........................



without the crossbar the bumper go in better........



After have been made the hand on the crossbar let us going in serious things.

At first position the future wings!



To draw line ............. may draw a second line to 3 cms of the first for final adjustment.



And now the result of the love of an electric pair of shears and one 911.



Then put back Froggy on these new wheels



Then reassembly of the exhaust, the ducktail and presentationof the bumper "to see"!
