After three plus years the 993 project is finally getting some work. In that time, I've gotten married, had a couple of kids, got a new job, bought a new house and I think I got some new socks too!
It's been a busy 3 years and I could have done some work on the car, but that would have caused unnecessary stress to our family life. So the car sat, and I pretty much loss interest in most things Porsche.
With the new house I have a bit more room to work in, and the kids are now a little less dependent. So with the "Fat Bastard" Carrera sold and some sympathy from my wonderful wife, I now have motivation and a little more spare time to work on the car.
Some of the old timers may remember "Bastard" my 1976 911S, the car that started the whole thing...in the original skin at my first DE many many moons ago.
And then there was that whole backdate thing
... this was the last time the car saw track duty. I finished the backdate and took it to Gingerman for a shakedown. After that weekend the car got striped in anticipation of a repaint. Well, it never got put back together....
So now....the last shot of poor "Bastard" before the plastic surgery...
Over the weekend (betweeen distractions and working until 5AM one night), the major pieces got hung. I have a lot of work ahead of me yet, but the major hurdle of cutting off the quarter panels is behind me.
The widebody kit is WIDE!
