Back in a 993 - Goodbye Viola 4S. Hello Riviera RS.

The underside of that very pretty car is rediculously clean. Just wow.
 
I understand now! Thanks :)
 
Wow that's awesome! You must be chuffed 8)

Personal import, or has it been here a while?
 
Awesome. Intrigued by dry ice cleaning please tell us more and where at etc? Have you clear coated the underside with clear wax afterwards? Very impressively clean! My sunbeam lotus was similar and had bilt hamber uc wax sprayed on it after it was rebuilt. I like cars as clean as that underneath:)
 
Thanks Scholester :thumb:

Dom, yes really chuffed. Took a while and has caused a few sleepless nights :grin: No it's been in the country for a few year, bought through Paul at GT Classics

Chris, the cryo blasting was done while the car was in bits, liners removed etc so the preparation work was already done; process took about 5-6 hours. Yes I've had a clear wax put on since. I tried to prevent 'mission creep' setting in, but unfortunately it took hold big time :oops:

I spent two days under mine coating the car and my eyelashes in clear wax lol! Worth it afterwards for ease of cleaning etc. That is stunning above and below. My dream car you must be chuffed.
 
Thanks Chris.

Tim, here's a pic of the Bilstein struts



EDIT: I have found out since they are original struts rebuilt by Bilstein in 2004 - damper test passed by Center Gravity -

My dishwasher doesn't get things that clean :eek:
 
GT4, yes i'm really pleased with the finish :)

Another of the mission creep items has been replacing the door pulls and belts as they were pretty faded (originals kept of course)

edit pics re added

Stunning, congrats on the purchase. 993 + Riviera is one of the finest combo's ever on Pork. :cool:

Okay I'll bite.
How much ??????

Multiples of 25 bags I'd wager.

BTW - Very nice indeed :thumb:
 
So there we have it!

The infamous "25 bags" is not so much a limit of valuation as a unit of valuation.

Possibly even arbitrarily divisible too :?:

(as in "it cost me 1/357th of 25 bags to fill my car with 102 octane")
 
It was a fair bit more than 25 bags, let's put it that way.

Thanks Zingers and Mads :thumbs:
