Colin/Graham: Guys thanks so much for letting us view this. The body work and detail is superb. Colin, still think you should peddle DVDs of the build-out. I'm in for a copy if you do. Just amqzing to see it come together so quickly and so very nicely. Kudos on a great job!

I agree with Raptor! You should definitely do a "Build Book" on this car and sell it...Here in the states there are a series of "Build Books" that show in high-def detail cars being built from start to finish..here is one on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/BUILD-BOOK-Con...8864283&sr=8-1
I'm sure there are a lot of people on Rennlist and other Porsche fanatics that would love to have a copy of a Build Book on this car...you could even self-publish it rather cheaply and sell copies to cover the cost.

Apparently all went well with the DVLA inspection, no doubt that Graham file his report & photo's on this mornings events later on today.
The Speedster S is now sat on our 4 wheel alignment centre to give us access underneath to do some finishing work underneath, here's a few shots of the freshly assembled front end which is just missing the Turbo S brake duct/marker lights. There's also a close up shot of the satin gunmetal mirror, which I have to say looks rather splendid and now makes a lot more sense of the matching doorhandle & grille colour.
The next stage for Marc and Robin is to finish the interior which is waiting on rear carpet, floor carpet, door trims and seats; then it's mechanical time again with a set of KW Variant 3's which are on the way to us to take care of the Dakar specification ride height; Robin will set the car up to Euro RS specification as a starting point. Other than minor detailing & a valet, I think that will have us pretty much finished.....

PS: Look carefully into the background of photo 5 & you can easily see a black 993GT2. Look very carefully and you can also see the nose of a black 964 Speedster.

Gunmetal mirrors and doorhandles? Was this the original speedster color scheme, or is this a bespoke color request? Reminds me of a Mini Cooper. Why not put a Union Jack on it as well? ![Big Grin](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Thanks for sharing this beautiful creation.

Looks great as expected! Careful driving it too much without the exhaust tips -- this can lead to melted plastic or at a minimum paint damage
