Official Black 911R build / starting over

[jimtweet]

First off I have to apologize for the lack of updates on my threads. I like to keep them current and extremely detailed so when it comes time to see the car, its fully documented.

I had previously started two build threads, but both builds are taking a 180 turn, so I wanted to start over to avoid any confusion.

I can not explain at this moment why the builds are changing, but in due time I promise everyone will know and hopefully everyone will understand.

I have been so busy taking on some customers cars and trying to complete my own at the same time.

My goal with this build is going to be similar to me last hot rod build, but I am going to concentrate more on the R!



Got the interior torn down already. I’m truly amazed at how much weight is in the stock interior of these cars.

The two back sound pads have to be 50 pounds alone



Trying to finish tearing front end down tonight

3 days in. Decklid, doors, fenders are at blasters. Trim and tons of small stuff is at coaters.

Work smart. Not hard!






Had to break out my grandfathers 46 year old Work apron for this one! Man, to anyone thinking of shaving rain gutters, I completely underestimated this job

Affirmative


I hope I’m doing the RUF employee justice who was responsible for this work

Second was drivers door. This thing kicked my butt! Both door skin and inner door needed patches

Yes please

One of the most complex curved areas that rusts on these cars. I don’t believe my repair is visible!!!😁

Little patch work before mounting fender up

Sorry for lack of updates. Weather, currently 6 degrees, and been fighting cold for two weeks.

But just got some stuff back from plating. Thank you Shaun
