hello to everyone, especially to Colin and JP!

i spent 1,5 very exciting days at 9m in Warrington to start this special project! As Colin mentioned the "burning out the oil from the exhaust" story i started to laugh. here's 2 pics to understand why:

i was happy, that the fire brigade of Warrington wasn't alarmed for factory fire

You, sir, are an instigator of the first order.

Believe me, I'm fighting the urge to sell my C4S, locate a nice 993 cab and send it off to you evil, tempting bastards. Must....resist.....

Hey RP! Congrats on a great decision to have 9m create your new Speedster and post the build here :-). Looks like you've got the 'cobwebs' blown out, no problem!

Rubbish. Making a Speedster out of a 993. What RLer started such nonsense?

Now THAT is something I could wrap my head around with my 4S, since it really isn't worth anything anyway.

I've only seen one coupe-to-cab locally that was worth a damn, it was made from a '94 C4 (one of the widebodies). Obviously I've seen a bunch of POS conversions done during the slap-a-slope-and-cab-'em craze of ~20 years ago.

You are absolutely right Ken. You can just drop-ship your C4S to me to not have to deal with it anymore (can I get your bike rack too?).

What would I replace it with? If someone wants to talk retail-for-what-it-is price, sure. It's one thing for me to dig into a fully depreciated car that's got limited appeal; it's another to get rid of it for market price just because I'm tired of it.
