The front bumper is getting repainted next week. Painter is out till Tues, and we have no idea why it turned out so off, while the decklid and wing matched perfectly.

So here's the list. This is a bit embarrassing, but here goes...

Tarret front droplinks
RS rear droplinks
Walrod control arm bushings

I may have forgotten something. Here are a few crappy pics. Sorry about the front bumper. One more week and its done.

Man, that bumper is way off. I actually saw it get painted with the rear decklid. Decklid was painted because the rear badge left a big yellow splotch in the shape of Carrera. Very weird.

WOW!!!!! An RLer's wet dream of mods! Don't be embarassed, you're among friends. We understand. Thanks for posting these, finished or not, it looks awesome.

If you're still on the fence about the side-repeaters, here's one vote for leaving it the way it is.

It looks great!

That looks good. I'd like to do the same thing to mine. Maybe one day...

i think the best mod was proper setup by guys who race 993s. Its fantastic. and absolutely no degradation in ride with the sway bars.
I'm going to drive the crap out of this thing. Occasional track events and proper spirited drives.
In a good way...of course. No abuse, just appropriate use of the car. Its a daily driver...so child seat gets mounted next week.


Can't wait to get out of this ****ty town.
Three more weeks till SoCal...

You're driving it now -- Congratulations! That's gotta feel great.

Lookin' good

Badge delete?
^^ Sweet. That's a first for Rennlist. You'll be the only RLer to EVER FINISH THEIR 993. Let us in on your secret ... in a week

Awesome!

You got to be kidding. Its never finished.

Next on the list.

Uprights/tie rods
Interior stuff...

And after 30 or 40 thousand miles, I'll do a motor.

Oh, and I think its badge delete. I can't get used to the "911" or "993". I may try them for kicks. Perhaps painted to match or something.

If that's the car I think it was the seller advertised it as a bone stock/unmolested car and was proud of it. Have you sent him this list of what you've done to "his" car after only a month? I wonder what his reaction would be?


On a side note, I think someone hit the lottery!

The seller is too nice a guy. I don't want to upset him..

I've been planning this for some time. Previously, I built the perfect E30 M3. Similar project to this. I drove the hell out of that wonderful car for 2 years until it was stolen in front of my house in Atlanta. Never thought I would recover.

This is my revenge..

And keep something in mind. This car as it sits is considerably cheaper than the 993 turbos I considered. I also seriously considered a new GT3. When optioned properly, would cost 2 times as much as this project.

The GT3 is just too nutty for me. For a daily driver...just too fast. This car solves the same problem, without the unbridled mph excess on tap.

Dang ... was hoping you'd be the first, & then post a DIY, so we can all finish our 993s Those badges in your color would rock. Here's contrasting silver on silver...
From your previous thread:
Anyone know -- were other 993s delivered from the factory with "911" badges?

It looks great... nice taste and lots of respect to go thru with the mods

Tee, hee hee... Nice list of mods. Love the color, If your like me it's just a matter of time until the GT3 sits in the garage. Good work!
