Outstanding. Congratulations to the both of you. Looking forward to shots of the interior and of the car with the top down.

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.
Anything exciting going on?

Wow - the color looks so much better in natural light... I wasn't a fan of all of the purple tones that the fluorescent lighting was pulling out.

I love the matt silver / grey accents & can't help but think how nice a set of staggered wheels with centers of the same finish would look...

The car looks great. I'm already having anxiety about this build being over. What's next??

Well, funny you should mention that Nurburger....

...whilst Graham is happy with the wheels as they are, as soon as we have finished the car we're planning a wheel swap + camera session. So far we've lined up a set of stainless rim Cargraphic race wheels from my RSCS, a set of stock RS rims from a 993RSL and ironically a set of Kinesis splits the same as on the silver car in your picture. I guess that should answer most peoples questions regarding their preferred wheel choice?

IMO, wide bodies benefit greatly from a nicely staggered wheel set. I think that my Kinesis wheels will look incredible against the blue bodywork.

As mentioned before - each to their own!! The car is gorgeous regardless & that is what matters.

The car is missing the large freckle on the nose, or is this going to be a delete item. BTW: splendid work!!!!

Hi Graham/Colin.

I just went through a recent large upgrade project (cosmetic and mechanical) and chose P61W steel grey highlights on mirrors, techart ducts and rear spoiler grill too - tied in with my new Kersher custom centre wheels same colour. I tried a satin finish but chose to go with a gloss finish same as paint work to keep the light/reflection even across the car. Very happy with the finish. You can always apply clearcoat later. Good taste guys. Pic attached.

It will have its 'freckle' fitted quite soon, after the final tidy up and 'venture shield / amourfend' has been applied.

The Turbo S airscoops with Hella DE fogs also to fit - at odds with Marc on this on - either silver to match the turn indicators - or body colour.
So again it's going to be a trial fit and debate!

Once the car's lowered the wheel choice may be obvious - I do like to see a bit of rim though!

The car does look stunning - massive thanks to Marc, Colin and all the guys at 9M who have produced this fantastic car for me!

Also special mention to Curve Lover; Jager and his glorious GR 993 Speedster - myself and Marc had already been talking about a 993 Speedster when his car 'suddenly' appeared - this just absolutely reinforced and helped to germinate the planted seed

I know it's not quite finished yet but I am one happy man

Graham

Gunmetal. Makes more sense of the use of this colour on the back grille and door handles/mirrors.


Oh no, done it now.....

Agree 100%, add a new color to the mix and it will get real busy on a classic looking car.
