Kind of like watching a son or daughter go off to college. There's been a lot of blood, sweat and tears getting them ready for the world and now it's time for them to fly on their own. Great work Colin, thanks for letting us tag along.

Yes, you can order them pretty much in several sizes and offsets:

BTW Colin, I LOVE those door panels, they look familiar in a fuzzy Alcantara sort of way ..

Have been waiting for a full photo shoot of this beauty for a while now. Any plans? It is a stunner and see from some other forums that it has had some track time. Eagerly awaiting some photos and/or video.

This 9m93RS belongs to a close friend of mine and I had the pleasure of driving it back from his place a year ago to do a service. It drives as well as it looks, loads of torque from the 3.8 litre RS engine and very responsive chassis. He still uses it for the occasional Porsche Club trackday, in spite of being offered a huge amount of money to sell it.

These are the only photos I have which have not been posted, I hope you like them.

Love the S4 Avant in Nogaro Blue, that was my first choice when looking for one but I had to settle for second choice in red. Great car.

Maritime Blue is the 964RS colour, slightly darker with a hint of violet compared to Nogaro.

Wow, just...wow! What a fantastic read.

The amount of work and attention to detail involved in work like this never ceases to amaze me.
