Default woo-hoo! finally bought a new car!

after looking for what seems like an eternity, i finally closed the deal on another 993 last week. i bought a '97 arctic silver/black c4s from rennlister rob.....turns out the car was only about an hour away from me.

rob completed quite a few mods to the car; euro front end, M030 dampers springs and sways, hard back painted sport seats, new RH 3-piece wheels, HIDS, turbo s ducts, FPB, painted split grill, painted calipurs and painted lower rocker panels. PPI was completed and passed with flying colors. i haven't had much time to clean it up as i've been driving it quite a bit. when i do, i'll post detailed pics.

here are a couple crappy cell phone pics.

Congratulations! She appears to be a beauty - lots of great mods and options. Need more pics, though.

i believe the seats are from another rennlister...i forget his name...but he lives in KY and has 993 cabs. he had these seats in his (i think yellow) cab that was in a rollover accident-he was OK as well were the seats. rob bought them from him and had them painted to match the car. one rail on the drivers side was bent and needed replaced (i had that done right after the PPI), i had to make a minor adjustment to the leather on the passenger seat and then i revived the leather with griot's leather care. they look brand new.

Yep they were my seats. The covers were from GAHH and only a few months old. That was probably my favorite part of the car. Nice ride BTW.
