RWB modified cars, what's your opinion?

I always get asked if I would RWB my 964 by local car enthusiasts, and like a few others in here have mentioned, I also agree that I couldn't chop up a clean 964. Perhaps if I had a spare 964 shell, then maybe. That is also a big maybe, considering the price for the kit is around 18k before wheels.
However, I do like the smooth body ones, notably the white one jpar posted that is stationed in Thailand. And 85% of the RWB's in Japan all see track time, so its not all show and no go.

If you RWB you car, I will follow

How about cryogenic cleaning or ice blasting for cleaning up the interior shell, it will get the glue off and give you a very nice clean area and doesn't take too long to do. much better than getting on your hands and knees breathing in harmful fumes while you try and get the glue off.

Definitely does the job but makes a heck of a mess. I have thirty years experience with grit blasting parts with black beauty coal slag same effect although more mess. Don't want to do this in my garage with the other cars sitting around covered or not. Xylene does the trick with proper protection and ventilation. Time is the issue you have to wait for it to break the adhesive bond. Although if I can find someone local to ice blast it economically I agree it makes sense. Looking for a clean chassis to build on.
Apparently the only mess is the debris of what has been cleaned away. The ice evaporates, so no water puddles the clear up, just Hoover the debris and you have a perfectly clean surface the work with. Far better than high pressure cleaning.
From what I understand, it's not and alternative the soda or sand blasting if you need a very aggressive blast, but can be used to remove rust too.

De have a dry ice blaster at work.
Awesome machine uses tout clean electrical panels or parts with lots of gunk/grime without damaging any electrical.
It needs a big compressor and the substrate is not that easy to get. Plus its quite big, fits in a small trailer
I've seen cleaning companies (after fire/disaster) use these to clean up houses.

I've been thinking about buying an ice blaster and offering this service and have done a bit of research.

I found a shop locally that can do it and it is not that expensive, problem is getting the tub there once everything is removed.
