Yes Sir, mama and baby doing great, everyone is healthy and happy thank you for asking. As for updates, John and the boys at BGB are ironing out the electrical side of things at the moment. Getting exciting.

If they're crying it's because of one of those things, so work your way through the list from where ever you left off, and create as many efficiencies for yourself based on that list.

Changing mats, wipes, spare clothes & cot sheets etc all convenient to you. Also consider co-sleeping cots if they're difficult sleepers.

Then when you're woken up in the night you know you're ready for a fast pit stop. Because tired parenting is hard
LOL, great advice, thank you very much.

All this time away from my 991GT3RS let me spend some more time with my 993 and get some work done on that project. Coming along, thought I'd share my baby shopping adventure! Completely non related to the thread but something to throw up for you Porsche gents. Back to the regularly scheduled program, Now we wait for the boys at BGB to work their magic
Should have brought the SUV 😂
Junk in the trunk
This build coming along
Rear angle shot! Nice hips.
Here she sits, Full coilovers done, all elephant suspension bushings done, brake rebuild and caliper recoat done, exhaust done, rothsport short shift and fd golden rod done. RS steering wheel done. It's coming along. As of yesterday it's in the booth getting a euro bumper and full club sport aero installed and sprayed. Really happy with this car. Fun to drive.

Thanks man, it's a new experience for me and awesome. Searched for a clean narrow body guards red 993 for a cubsport tribute for a while . Only been 3 months now and really enjoying this car for a DD.

Thanks you very much, healthy kids and family trumps all. The Stallions are great but aren't getting much love these days. Need to get out and put some miles on them.

Bring them up to Rd America on Mon/Tues, and they will get a lot of love :-)!!
I hope you can keep these cars for your kids to enjoy! They are Classics!

Thank you Sir! Me too
I feel I'm in the best hands for the build with BGB so as with anything new in a uncharted territory I'm sure there will be some things to figure out but John and the guys at BGB I'm sure are use to challenges like these and will have this car ready to tear up streets in no time.

That sounds like so much fun but time currently isn't my friend, in a couple months I will for sure)) beat the brakes off some of these cars. Been a little quiet for them during baby preparation the past couple months lol.

That is the plan, I can enjoy the cars now while I still have some energy in my youth to wrasstle these beasts and then when my kids are old enough, done school and starting there own families I can pass them down. God willing I get to see those days, would be a happy thing for me.
thanks
