I want to give a HUGE thank you to Brendon / IMR-Merlin for the countless dumb phone calls and questions. We both bought our 930s around the same time and were able to complete these builds with no past Porsche history.

beautiful .....

just starting on my build. hope it does not take me 4 yrs, but it may ... it may.

congratulations.

I would give a kidney for those wheels. Perfect setup.

No question; keeping a 930 stock is the only way to go ...

Gorgeous!!

That's it 4 years and only a dozen picts?!?!? How about the engine??

That is classy! Great job on everything, you have a real knack for putting these things together and making them unique but familiar at the same time.

What happened to all the RWB inspired fiberglass?

Bravo, Jim! Car looks stunning, and the list of mods is like a who's-who of tasty bits. It's an amazing first build considering how long it usually takes for someone to get up to speed on these cars and what works/doesn't work on them. (I recall you were flirting with the import boyz look stretching some entirely too narrow tires onto wide rims- glad to see you 86'd that.)

Your interior, the Achilles heel of these otherwise exotic cars, looks amazingly tasteful as well.
More pics!!! Way more pics!!!

the RWB kit is completed and sitting in my attic, with the rising cost of these cars I decided to return the car back to its original glory more or less

Ill use the kit one day, I actually have had a few guys try to buy it off me, not sure I could let it go

I am working on a set of three piece 15" fuchs now to complete the look.

Wheels are the same wheels I have always had. Tires still do have a slight stretch to them

Simply amazing Jim.
The Fuchs will be the cherry on the cake. I like the CCW wheels but they seem out of place on this car.
You should keep your wide body kit and slam it on a track-rat sometime in the future.

Jim, this is absolutely amazing.
Everything is just fantastic.
Color combo, stance and interior, everything.

Gorgeous!
