Colin,
I like the 18" Cup Wheels. Are they RH Wheels? Can you give me some details on the wheel and tire size including offsets. I have been looking at Speedline look alikes for my 964.
Oh, sweet ride. When are you coming to the States???

Geoffrey keeps trying to persuade me to bring our championship winning 964 Trophy Cup across the pond, so you never know...

Fantastic! Here in Switzerland, people are also starting to rebuild innocent C2s to full RS lwt specs because of the sharp price increase of the real thing.
However, Colin, your approach is most professional, with packages and clear prices!
I am a candidate (just need to sell house, wife, daughter - but not the 911!)

Best regards

1. labour to strip car to bare shell
2. labour to convert shell to RS specification, seam weld, fabricate, fit & weld in M003 cage, remove roof panel & fit solid roof (panel included in price), fit RS specific brackets, remove non-RS brackets
3. complete immersion acid dipping, neutralising and E-coating of bodyshell, doors, engine lid and bonnet (as appropriate)
4. labour to clean, prepare, etch, prime, & paint entire shell and all body panels to customer's colour
5. labour to assemble complete vehicle from bare shell, including conversion of wiring loom to RS specifications (7kg removed) and RS ABS brake system
6. 4 wheel alignment to customer requirements
The process takes over 400 hrs and includes the cost of the solid roof panel, new body clips/brackets/fittings & wiring modifications, the end result having a "better than new" M003 bodyshell fully corrosion protected.
The primary parts menu, which are fitted at no additional labour cost, include:
RS or Cup suspension (shocks, springs, top mounts, A-arms, springplates, anti-roll bars)
RS Brake upgrade (calipers, discs, power ABS for C2).
RS interior package (door panels, Recaro seats, harnesses)
RS alloy or carbon bonnet, carbon doors, RS rear bumper section, RS Lightweight glass, manual window winders
Wheels & Tyres
RS flywheel & clutch assembly
The secondary parts menu is for items that require additonal labour, including:
Engine rebuild & upgrades
Motec engine management
Transmission rebuilds, LSD, re-gearing
993RS 4 channel ABS system upgrade
3.8 RSR turbo body conversion
etc.
The customer who ordered the car shown has opted for original RS suspension & brakes; full RS CS interior with replica CS seats, electric windows & hifi; standard engine with LWF & remap; an LSD and 18" Cup replica wheels.

Car looks great.
Many nice options to spec the proper car.
At that price can't you buy a real one? I just returned form Germany and 60 - 90k Euro's will get you one the factory built.

Joe,
Aside from the fact that the factory did not build any RHD examples which is big issue for some UK enthusiasts, as you say the minimum price of a factory CS is around £45,000 but the best ones are indeed fetching £70,000. OK, our conversion costs £25k+VAT plus the donor at approximately £10k, plus typical suspension/brakes/interior package at £10k but the big difference is that we are building a new car to the customers exact spec, not some tired track hack that has had a £3k respray to make it look good. Its not that there is a lot of choice about either, and if you want a Maritime Blue one you will pay at least £5k more than others due to the demand.
Looking at the enquiries and current potential orders we have already it thankfully there are a lot of enthusiasts who are not that chassis number sensitive, so given that a RHD RS cannot be bought for any amount of cash the only choice is a 9m64RS Clubsport.
Anyway, if we are to compare conversion costs, we believe that the 9mRS offers better value for money than a 3.2 Carrera with pre-impact bumper bodywork sold as a "2.7RS" for £50k, at least the 9mRS is correct in every detail except chassis number!
