My blue C2 964 rebuild thread
- Thread starter PeterS
- Start date
So, after all the engine work and my Southern Trip, the Goodwood track day was not so kind to my car.
It's been sitting virtually unused for a bit.
Time has come for me to get it together, and get it ready for this years tour.

My blue C2 thread. New beginnings.
After an extensive engine rebuild (see here: http://911uk.com/viewtopic.php?t=75669&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 )and a lot of fun blasting around Southern Europe with 911UK pals in 2013, I took my car to the Goodwood track day. A lot of fun chasing GT3's, but realised that the car needs a few improvements and taking to the next level.
Home and business things have meant the car has had to take a back seat, but I've been stockpiling bits from OPC, eBay and everywhere, ready to start again with it.
The box of bits is almost complete, so it's time to crack on with it, ready for the 2014 tour.
It's also going to having new suspension, just making the final choice between fully adjustable damping Bilsteins, and the cheaper ones. At the moment the car is on the original shocks, with lowered springs, so I am running out of suspension, and my car is handling like a go-kart. Even the cheaper Bilsteins will be a massive improvement, and is likely to be my route.
At some point it's going to need some paint too, and I was toying with a colour change, but common sense has prevailed and it's staying in its original baltic blue.

Maybe a new thread.
Are you able to tackle most of it or will go away again?

I think the colour suits the car well enough, although it is nice to have the option to colour change at this point in time. If you decide to change it'll be a never ending task and you'll end up doing a Red Baron job on it.
What work are you tackling yourself and what are you getting done?

I will get Martin Brown to fit the suspension and set up the ego, the rest of it I will be doing myself, except the bodywork repairs.
For that, I'll be doing all the stripping, for them to prep and paint.
Depending on how things go, and what progress I make, I may not get it painted until after Vienna.
I don't want Chimp pebble-dashing it.
Still looking for some 4 pot rear calipers.
