I sold my Grey C4 at the beginning of December


But on December 1st I bought this







This is the goal

with a few different bits.

I promtly got a new engine lid with lifting spoiler as the RSA whale tail isnt to my taste, i also sold the 993 RS steering wheel for the same reason.
Its had a full engine rebuild 7000 miles ago and also has KW V1 coilovers set up to RS spec and corner weighted so only thing i need to worry about is the body.

So yesterday afternoon i started to pull it apart.


Some clean bare metal behind the wing


Not as much corrosion as i expected



Bit of corrosion and a hole behind the left shark fin


and a good bit of bodgery going on too


Left rear wing is almost perfect


Right rear wing has a bit of corrosion


Front wings are also very good, i thought i was going to have to get new wings, but a bit of new metal on the front corners will suffice.





Left rear bumper mount was completly rotted through







Nice pile of bits

Also my Stinless Haywood and Scott exhaust, has a decat pipe too.


This is my steering wheel which will be accompanied by a Rubystone Rev counter complete with Lemass logo.



I have also got a 993 front scuttle panel and wipers, 993 door handles, 993 rear quarter glass, RS rear screen with hidden heater elements and RS front bumper ducts.

Started my custom rear bumper on friday too



The tow eye will be located behind the number plate.

Will be shortening my front bumper recess to suit

Also got new wheels but the are a surprise

I know of one that isn't an RS which is in Germany. Only others I have seen are RS RSR or turbo. Rare though.

If any of you have seen a rubystone RS in the flesh you will know why I'm doing it.

One of my first repaints was a ruby stone RS and I have loved them ever since.

Jambo no rotiforms. I have struck a deal which saves me about £2.5k

dont know why, but it strikes me as a very early 90's colour if you know what i mean

obviously it is from that era, but it seems to suit it
