its only a matter of time.

Also, no comparison to RUF stuff. You can copy Ruf panels and accessories all day long, it doesn't matter because you can't copy what makes a Ruf a Ruf. That's the engine work. Everything else is lipstick.

You gotta admire Nakai Sans work ethic. Guy never rests... he installs all of the kits!

Just dropped off the 993 at Auto Talent in Los Angeles to install the KW V3 suspension, Rennline Top and Bottom Valve Covers, Momo Steering Wheel, and B&M short shifter in preparation for the body work.

They were working on this beautiful Ferrari F40 behind me. First F40 I have ever seen in person. I was drooling for 10 minutes.

if your going to get some new wheels for your build would you sell the center caps from your existing wheels? I would love them if your selling.

Which wheels are you going to use for the build?

It would be interesting to see a different set of wheels used as appose to the SSR's we see on most of the builds.

I will be selling the entire wheel setup together. New wheels going on as soon as the car gets finished with paint.

At the end of the day hes building what many would consider the "ultimate" car, why not start with the nicest one, yes you could start with a beater but if you have it....... Spend it, cannot take it with you.
