Default doing a little make over dr. 90210

Ater doing a lot of minor clean up on my c4s. I decided to do it right. I purchased this car months ago planning to part it out and use the ruf parts for my black 993tt. after completing the major service such as replacing the clutch, lwf, breaks and fixing a lot of leaks. the car is almost perfect. runs very smooth and strong. I have decided to keep the car use it as a daily driver and to do it right. Get rid of the cheap paint job ( lots of touch up and respay) after inspecting that there is zero body or frame damage. I have sold some of the parts such as the ruf wheels, gt3 seats and will replace it with bbs race wheels and rs seats (yellow backs). I will update you guys till its done

I hope that your purchase price from Adam reflected these shortcomings.


Please post pictures of the process - it's good to see the car being brought back.

Oh, wow, gutter delete. Cool.

This should be a fun transformation to watch.

thanks for the compliments guys and the shops name is united collision center (ucc) in burlingame ca. they do a lot of the older porsche like the rs replica. and they do a great job. cant wait till its done so I can post more pics. wish I took pics when they were deleting the rain gutters. they did it 2 inch at a time (cut and weld) but I felt sorry for the car during the process. and my ruf bumpers will fit perfectly after they are done. No more huge gaps and will be adding ruf side mirrors and a turbo s wing as well

Looks great! I'm curious about the RUF plate in the last pic... what is it? It almost looks like a RUF build plate.

Alvin,

Dang, that's looking good! Can I ask how much they are charging you to shave the gutters? Please don't ask me why I am asking.
