Souk your sending the e-mails to FATPER32@AOL.COM right?

Yep...actually I replied to an e-mail you sent me and it got blocked :(

Hmmmmm... I have no clue what going on with my e-mail, its been acting funny latley, i have to check it out, you still have my number right, just give me a ring when you get a chance, also as far as the front spliter goes, something that just follows the contour of the bumper, sticks out a little bit, but i dont have the exact design

Yeah, I still have your number. I'll give you a call tonight. (Maybe I'll just drop in for dinner at the restuarant this Sat? We'll talk tonight.)

I'm getting a bumper shipment from BW very soon, so I'll play around with a splitter design and shape some foam. We'll see what we can do.

OK sounds great, thank you
I know lots of guys who have been looking for a nice splitter for the ctr bumpers, so we'll just see how this goes

Every time is see this thread it pisses me off I didnt got this route when the car was apart.

bump for more car pics please
 

more pics of completed cars please

Re: bump for more car pics please
 

i second the motion :) I have a couple of my "driver" SC quazi converted SC to post, but im not at my home pc right now. ill post a few tonight...

I would like to see a couple more two...

I bet a nogaro blue would look fantastic.

A real world honest-to-goodness offer would be fine. Just don't steal it, fair enough? :)

Thanks,

Hi guys,

Here you have few photos of my conversion with turbo tail.

I know, the sideskirts look awful and it is really high. (I´m working on it.) I hopefully get the C2 rockers soon. Those CUP2 wheels don´t really look that good neither.
Splitter is also on the list as it looks like something is missing.

I think it's looking great! I hope my car never stops being a "work in progress":) Lowering will certainly make a big difference alone, the rest will be icing on the cake.

I don't think I ever put any finished pics on this thread, soooo....

pierdogger, your ride looks awesome! I hope I will get Cabrio too before summer.

Hey there Pie. I like the color change! Looks great!

Cheers,

Piedogger - how do those mirrors work in the real world? I'd love to add a pair to my stack of stuff, but...

Beautiful car, BTW!

Thanks guys. The mirrors are real RUF which use a convex mirror. It makes everything appear closer. once I got used to that it wasn't so bad.

ok...i just HAD to join the posting of conversions :)

heres my 78sc complete with Fuzzy Dice, Beer and a Laptop...

what seals the bumper to body?
 

What do you guys use to act as the seal between the bumper and the front and rear bodywork?

If I've got a 81' SC would I get 964 seals or something?


Also do any of the front bumpers ordered have built in tabs for mounting fog lamps or a modified deck lid grill?

The bumper welting is Porsche part # 999 911 205 40 and is '76-80 930 bumper welting. It comes in 5m rolls, 1 will do both ends of the car.

The bumper I bought from BW has tabs at the bottom of the foglamp cutouts, looks like they could use some reinforcement to me. No tabs for a grille - you'd need to fabricate some vertical bars to mount a rear deck grille.

wavey - can you post some pics of the finished product
 

thanks

Nope - still sitting in my shop waiting to be installed! Sorry.

Thought I'd post something... :)

OK I don't know if this has been asked but since I'm new I'll ask a dumb question. Is RUF pronounced "Roof" or is it "Rough"?

And for those front splitters I seem to remember someone using reinforced rubber like the stuff used to make conveyor belts on a different car. Not sure where you'd pick that stuff up, maybe someplace like Grainger's?

ROOF...

Farm supply stores will have them (don't know if you have them in fancy Californi)...and yes Grainger or McMaster-Carr will have them too.

It's not a high priority project, but I'm going to make a spliter out of f-glass to bolt to my front bumper. Once I make the first one, I should be able to make copies easy enough myself or send them to BW Motorsport for replication....

S-man what's up with the RUF stuff? you going that route now?

As usual I'm a day late on this thread....was too caught up in the widebody project and now I'm positive I'm gonna keep Ruby skinny....but will a 72 row oil cooler fit in that front cap????

That looks amazingly like my garage, Souk - Black Carrera, grey primered Ruf bumpers on the floor! My installations will be delayed even more now - I'm going to do the suspension and brakes first.

Heh heh...I'm aiming for a June rebirth for the Fat Bastard, Dave. It's going to be tight given all the projects, but I promise to make Tweek Fest (or what ever it's call these days). So I'll make good on the promise I made a year ago to show up :) I may have Heather drive the BTR-esque Fat Bastard and I'll drive the Original Recipe Bastard to the Fest.....crossing my fingers.

You better bring one of those cars down for the Taj Speedfest S-man.. or are ya scared to get Whipped out on the AX track :) YEE-Haw.. huh.. wha.... did someone stepin Shee-IT? cuz I smell some..

-Eric

Dude! I'll bring a shovel with me, 'cuse I'll be hauling some of my owe sheeet! :) Looks like there is a good chance I'll show at the Taj...no conflicts this year! :D

Here's my front (still waiting to do the back, has anyone used rennspd fglass?)

And speaking of splitters... Has anyone thought of splitters like an older "s" ?
http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1112138942.jpg

I always liked the S bumper and the Ruf bumper. Why not mix the best of the oldies and the midyears? ;)

PS: I am also looking for a source of billet/chrome grills like Fishcop's 911 has on the rear decklid. Can anyone think of one?

Just a very very preliminary feeler....

Who would be interested in poly-urethane Yellow Bird bumpers?

How much $ are you thinking? That would be very interesting to me.....

Me. Non turbo. Non RUF prices.

I'll know soon. But I expect it to be a bit more than the f-glass version. Which is reasonable given the advantage of the urethane version. We're also looking into other urethane products.

any word on the bumpers?

I'm still waiting on the sample of the urethane.

I would be interested in a urethane copy of the narrow body Ruf front spoiler. I've tried several times to pin down the actual Ruf bumpers from Weisach, but I get conflicting information that they only make this in turbo sizes. They would show a bumpers on their website, but I think is is NLA. I've seen the Original Ruf bumper on a turbo and it is very sturdy.
