Congratulations !!!

the car is truly stunning, it was pretty amazing when I saw it last year, but now it is on a different level altogether. Can't wait to see it in person.
How could you resist a 9M engine upgrade? If I could get the wife to sign off on that, I would really go for it. Was the shipping too expensive? Just curious.

Enjoy your masterpiece.

Once again, the lads at 9M deliver! If we still have gasoline to power our cars by the time I can afford it, I would love to have them build me their version of the RS with the 400+ hp motor, then spend the summer driving it around Europe. Here's to hoping I win the lottery soon!

Whoa, had no idea. Hey, going up to my business in Petaluma on Wednesday, if you're around. Just remembered the air compressor you got from my pile of parts. Was it for this car, or the one you sold?

At last the SpeedArena is revealed!
Great news that the car's arrived safe & sound and back with JP in the California sunshine. It was good to share 'experiences' with JP as another 993 Speedster evolved and great work by Colin & Marc and all the crew over at 9M in creating a sister car to mine!

JPP- Congrats! WOW. . I can't find words to describe what you have accomplished. Takes passion, dedication, patience and a big wallet . I love all the small details, the painted guage surrounds, the 9M doorpanels with pockets, the 993RS comfort seats and ofcourse the speedster details. The 996 3-spoker looks like it has been comstomized (grips), please tell us more! Did you put RS carpet in the back or is there a rear seat delete underneath the speedster "cover"? Again, very well done!

Simply brilliant! I am in awe of their work. I found myself holding my breadth as I scrolled through the transformation pictures.

Very awesome, what did you have done to the engine? Just an overhaul or did you add some goodies as you were right at the source?
I would blast my budget if I had any parts or even the car there to get stuff done.
I like it alot,
Ed
