hi all,
its going to be a year now since i found my 91 c2 tip and have been slowly but surely getting all the little pieces together...
i noticed lately
a couple of bubbles in the front windscreen seal
uneven paint on the rear fender.. suggesting a respray was already done
suspension getting progressively stiffer in the front
steering makes ticking noises when turning stationary/in place
the rev counter woks sporadically/ couple of taps and its good2go..

so.. a paint job was inevitable.. and while she's in there.. might as well
get the following in:
pss10s
big blacks brake upgrade/ 965 rotors/ thx jeff curtis for the adapters and rsr p/v
carbon fibre bits/ thx rennlist/ thx marcus buehler
located a rear seat delete for free... yes for free..
new steering rack/ 3 attempts at remachining didn't seal it..
ordered steering rack brace/ thx rennlist/ thx chaoscreature
install later model dashboard/ thx rennlist/ thx onefstm
custom crest/ thx rennlist/ thx intrepidagent..
here are the pics, sorry they are posted in one go.. this job started on the 30th of may, times perfectly to coincide with a course I'm doing in vienna.. couldn't stay a whole month without driving her... so we parted (temporarily)
here are the pics:

Carbon Marcus does incredible work. Never seen carbon storage bin lids before!
The coloured tach face looks nice too.

swaini

thx all

azander

Looks nice! I like the blue theme and the tach! I thought the digital OBC display (on the tach) was standard with the tiptronic. Delete?

swaini

you are very correct azander.... mine is on its way from the netherlands (with obc), just didn't get a pic of it , but thats the color i chose and with the same numbers/needle configuration.....
will post once it arrives..

azander

Cool, I'm looking forward to seeing how the rotated dial works with the display. I'm considering the same thing.

Looking nice the light blue components!

Where did you have the tach done? I live in the Netherlands and wan't to have the same thing done.
