Last month and some of this month involved the strip down, repairs and prep. Plenty of photos so far (~40), but here are a few...

Rust treatment/repairs are in scope where deemed required, chassis legs included. The car had separate work carried out in the last ~10years to address the scuttle so no repair effort required in these 'typical' areas.

Items like the bumper supports beyond salvageable and so replaced.

It had been observed before, but here we can see my exhausts once upon a time had the bypass pipe only to be sealed up!

Primer stage in progress....

Too flat faced. 993 needs dish... :bandit:

Ruf Monoblocks are also boat anchors (heavy)!

Did the primer go over the existing paint or did the existing paint get removed first?

Everything taken back during prep....to what degree, will have to check (talk got technical at the time!). Was happy to leave the best approach in the hands of the proprietor who puts his reputation against the quality of the end result :).

How funny is that bypass capping , guess they found it a bit loud. Get some valves in there :)

When you're ready! :wink:

Are you still going with the RS bits too?

Decided to keep the car lowered on those wheels, and without aero for now. Thank you nevertheless for your inputs. Will be referred to in future no doubt.

As has been stated many times before, Ty is a great guy who knows his way around our cars very well; he owns one too now and has plans for it. It's clear to see why he works on so many special Porsche cars. No hesitation in recommending.

NB in orange... :bandit: Some inspiration...

That car is Gulf Orange as seen here.

In fact there are quite a few Porsche Oranges, below are the popular ones...

(Only as good as the camera used to capture and screen used to view, as evidenced on how 018 appears on both samples below. Also there will be slight variation between paint supplier... Glasurit, Mipa, Standox, PPG, Spies Hecker, etc.)

A popular shade missing from the above lineup is Continental Orange, which I'd best describe as closer to a neon/highlighter.

Just goes to show how popular build threads are.

OP, love the colour you have chosen and what you are doing. :thumbs:

Hoo ha, one that's not dark blue or silver! That's a super choice :thumb:
 
My now sold 993 was Aventura ...... a marmite colour at best ...... if I had kept the car I think at some stage I would have had a re-spray ........ my choice of colour would have been Riviera Blue for my car but that orange is also stunning.
 
All got colour change, wrap it respray. The only issue in my view is the interior colour restricting the colour change. If it's black then fill your boots, I've got classic grey and I'm unsure it even goes with the body colours that it was twinned with at the factory. Appreciate it may been the height of 90s fashion.
