I've just been guided to this thread today, read it from 1st post to here and.... ... Pfffiuuu!... ... I have to take a deep breath!
Congratulations for your job Colin, and thanks for taking the time to post all those pics.
At our very amateur level, the first lesson we should learn is that a 993 can rust, and every owner should start by having a sharp look on the under body protection for damages, have an eye under the inside carpet and around all windows seals! Ask me how I know?

almost there! Congratulations.

P.S. I played lotto for tonight Euromillion. Expect a call Monday morning when I'll be sober

The owner is working away a lot, hopefully we can get together sometime over the weekend and discuss the finish of the car and hence take the final photos for the masses. At the moment the car is jut waiting on a new windscreen being fitted and a Motec ecu but there may be a little more mission creep to cover....

Default Thanks Colin

Looking at my own cars history file, you have had your hands on it before.

Maybe you will see it again

What a great thread.
Sorry for being a nerd, but it looks like you are using Walrod bushes for the front suspension arms?
Would be interested to know why you chose those for a track focused car and not something more hard core.

Thanks.

The simple answer to your question on the Walrod bushes is that the customer supplied his own parts.
