Default Goodbye 997, hello 993!

EDIT: Update with info.

I traded my 997 C4S for a 1995 993 C2. This one has RSR flares and skirts a GT2 tailbase with EVO banana wing and a RSR/GT2 front end.
Bilstein PSS10 shocks, Recaro seats, Heigo cage, 4pt harnesses, centerlock hubs, 997 CUP wheels and a full dansk exhaust.
Otherwise the car is pretty much stock.

Plan is to use it mostly on the street with some random track days too. I will try to keep it as is but knowing myself, it may be impossible to do that...hahhah!!

At least following modifications will be done:

- GT2 uprights and tie rods
- RS swaybars
- RS big reds (thinking about painting these yellow)
- CAE shifter
- paint cage white
- RS steering wheel with quick disconnect
- Scrotch 6pt belts
- some carbon fibre bits for the interior
- wrap the upper dash in leather with yellow stitching.



Picking up the car:




On the way home. Car needs a good bath.



Finally home:













Teaser photo...more to come later.

...when even Hot Wheels stated their GT2 was inspired by RWB, IIRC

...& Juha posted a pic of "idlers" painted on tires, with another logo on the right side of the rear spoiler that's more common on RWBs than stock 993s!

Tire stencil and decals threw me off. Especially upon quick glance with the idlers stenciled on the tires.
No disrespect, gorgeous car!
