Hopefully you're already making the photoshoot arrangements....!

Can't wait to see it & congrats Alvin.

Cool! Mixed feelings, though: The feeling of viewing an object of art, tinged with envy and lust, and the feeling of how difficult it would be to replicate. The great thing about mods to a 993 is that it makes the end result unobtainable and unique without a boat (?) load of work and effort. That means that someone can't simply walk in and walk out same day with a similar effort. You've gotta be immensely satisfied. And we get to live vicariously.

I feel much the same with so many of the great efforts on this forum, and wish I had the ability to achieve what you (and others) have. Same feeling I get playing sports or riding.

On another front, a big shout out for Alvin's body shop in Burlingame http://www.unitedautocollision.com/. You can see the results of their work. Also, nice web site A.

Induced labor, or Cesarean?

With all the time and money put into this car, I think we are talking about a completely different orifice here :D
But seriously, I can't wait to see the results.

Well, while he was waiting looks like he picked up a M2 (M3-powered '72 2002) - (see the comment thread)

Wow brother....thought you had sold it or something. It's been a long wait. Mike and I were talking about it the other day. Can't wait! :thumbup:

atan888 Apr 16, 2010 05:19 PM

Better late than never brother :evilgrin:

But if he ever starts the car he might get that beautiful engine dirty. . .
