Do you guys have Chiropractors in the UK? My back went out a couple of weeks ago and it's the only thing that really helped. Painkillers eased the pain but didn't fix anything.

 

Thanks for the back tips, I'll pass them on to Marc. Looks likely that he has torn a muscle or ligament in his lower back, spoke to him an hour ago and following a full nights sleep last night he's got a lot more mobility today but still can't stand up straight. He'll be seeing his physio tomorrow so let's see what they come up with.

 

Nice! Wish him well for us ...

 

Marc's returned to work today, albeit a little tender; diagnosis is probably torn ligament in lower back so he's on walkabout duties only to keep his muscles mobile.

With a bit of help from the other boys we're looking to press on and finish off the interior this week. No sign yet of the KW's as I think they are having some minor production difficulties.

The other good news is that another customer dropped off his blue turquoise 993 in for work on the front suspension, so Graham will be now able to see what a set of silver Gemballa Le Mans wheels would look like on his car (which just happen to be one of my favourites on the 993).

 

Having spoken to the Gemballa UK agent last Friday, I doubt that there will be anything despatched from them for the time being - they "are in turmoil, and a terrible situation at the moment".

No - I know exactly which set of wheels I want!

I agree, it looks like the RS speedlines but in one piece. I wouldn't mind having one as a spare set.

 

I have those Gemballa wheels on my blue cab

 

I really like the Gemballa LeMans wheels as well. Very difficult to locate, unfortunately...

 

A person working for the company that produces the wheels for Gemballa (amongst others) recently posted on RL in the Uwe Gemballa kidnap thread.

This post lists all his contact details:

He might be helpful in finding a set, what better way than to start at the source (?).

And yes those wheels are lovely!!!

Rgds,

These Gemballa's really aren't that hard to find... I just wish that they had staggered the lip - it's the same front & rear.

Playing - with limited success!

A set of Gemballa le mans wheels is currently listed on eBay Germany with 4 days to go...

Would make for a very nice Easter present!

 

We're back in the saddle, again....

As promised, Marc's back in work and partially refreshed by having a couple of weeks off and a nice Easter weekend break with the family, so his back has now losened up enough for him to tackle the finishing touches of the interior. He's seen here gluing in the custom made rear bulkhead carpet complete with computer sewn Speedster S logo to match the engine lid. OK, it's unfortunate that the logo will only be seen when the top is being stowed, but at least we all now know that it is there!

The new leather trimmed 993 plastic back sports seats should be with us soon. Andy, our trimmer, dropped in today to report a minor problem when is sewing machine started to crack the end of one of the cover retaining strips (the flexible plastic hook section that is sewn onto the front and clips into the return lip of the plastic backs to hold the cover in place). We've ordered him a replacement which should be with us tomorrow, so hopefully that will mean we can have them back by weekend.

Unfortunately the KW's have still not arrived but we are expecting them any day now. No doubt you all are as eager as us to see what the Speedster looks like without the rally setting ride height, so I'll have to be quick to ****** a photo of them in the box!

Watch this space, I'll be back soon.

 

I'm another fan of your work 9m. Amazing attention to detail.
I wish you were nearer London.

 

Are those Riviera Blue seat belts? I have that color in my car as well. Ther car looks fantastic.
