Problem Resolved: It is due to the previous owner’s fabricator raising the height of the front trunk, to clone a 993 position, for front fender and hood (964 chassis with 993-shell sheet metal).
Keeping this info here, should anyone be reverting from 993 to other variants, as the front height is different.
Hi Gentlemen,
Over the past 2years of my build, changed my RSR Build alittle and I’m now working towards a 964 RSR Body, but everything else will be the more modern 993 RSR.
I could not complete a 964 RSR clone as planned, as the rear frame has been cut and modified by the previous owner, to fit the 993 undercarriage (didn’t realise the extent of the cutting till recently).
With that, I hope to reach out for advise as I have an issue with the body work.
It seems that the door does not line up with the front Fender wing.
As you can see, the front of fender lined up with the front trunk lid.
And the gap between the fender & the front wiper panel, is in-line.
- Could I have missed out a shim or a bracket for 964 front fenders?
- Or could the 994 doors be totally different, vs the 993 (since the car was forward dated).
Hoping to reach out to any folks who might have restored their 964 or 993 shell.
Thank you in advance.
