very strange about the glass. just replaced the windshield of my 91 c4 with OEM glass and gasket without any issues. where is it not fitting?

on a positive note, your car is looking amazing. the blue calipers look sick against the wheels and black body. will be sending you good vibes from cali in hopes of you catching a break on the glass.

Left it at the body shop to have the paint cleaned up. Felt so good to drive it again. Sucked to leave her behind. Stance is killing me, but I'm gonna do it right. Ordering 993gt2 uprights so I can get the front down properly. Maybe a small spacer in the rear?

While i wa sat eurotech a pair of gt3 cars he built were dropped off by a 40ft trailer. Amazing cars

Those are the front splitters from the 3.8rs made by rennspeed. Fitment was crap, and now that the front is going way lower I will probably ditch them.
Really hope the car sits proper and handles even better once the uprights are done. Certainly aren't cheap.

Here she is getting a spa day.

Damn that car looks nice with fresh paint. My paint and body is a mess. I'm jealous. Only problem is you will now be cringing every time you get a stone chip or a scratch. Not really a bad problem to have though. Looks great!

Thanks gents. So far so good, only a few details to be worked out. Sunroof isn't opening, windshield wipers aren't set correctly and oddly my stereo doesn't work. All small details. Just felt great to finally be driving again. As for the suspension, it must have settled back down as the front looks way lower in person than in the pics. The wheel gap looks brutal in the earlier pics. Either way I'm still doing the 993gt2 uprights.
Fun little detail was the body shop put their decals on the windows.. In the shape of a 964. Will snap a pic when I have a chance, as it was late dark when I noticed

Default me and my 964: an intro

All the odds and ends have arrived for the 993gt2 suspension upgrade. Just waiting on the uprights from Germany.
Goal is to be low enough to worry about every street, driveway or speed bump I come across.. And still handle well
