    New garage looks good. I can respect a well used dirty garage though. It will not be long to get back to "normal" if it goes anything like mine did.

    New project looks good too. Pretty intense looking build.

    New GT2 bits- AWESOME. Love the look and can't wait to see it in person.

    Your 996 looks pretty slick, congrats on both!

    Where do you live? I definitely see a golf course in the background. Fill out your profile if you have a moment :)

    Tell us a bit about your 911. What prompted you to pull it down, what all you are planning on doing to it. Fun project.

    The 3.2 engine runs strong but had a small oil leak. I was just going to get it painted "as is" but I had a couple of rust spots between the main body and front quarters. I started to remove the quarters then one thing led to another.

    I'm going for an RSR look minus the big a$$ tail. The cost is starting to build: Engine stand, engine yoke, flares, bumpers, duck tail, engine gaskets, specialty engine tools, new engine mounts, window gaskets, head liner, carpet, turbo tie rods, etc.

    I could have bought one already built based on the forecasted total cost, but that takes the fun out of it.

    Worst case if the car won't start after I'm done, the Salvation Army can come pick up the whole lot. :)

    Here are a couple of more shots.

    I use to live by Coconut Beach in a condo next to it.

    I decided not to go with the fiberglass front fenders w/ flares and ended up ordering these front steel flares instead. The bottom one is for the rear.

    Nice job!
    Looks in MUCH better shape than the 69 911T we have torn down in the shop now. Somebody left the air cleaner cover off and let the car sit outside in the weather for god knows how long. Guy buys it and tows it to us for us to find Carlsbad carverns growing inside the cylinders.:eek:
    Look to forward to seeing yours tearing around the neighborhood soon!

    Good choice with Southern!(Think I spotted it just inside the side rollup door when I was going home for lunch earlier this week)
    I've seen my share of Manhattan nightmares! ;)

    Cannot go wrong with white and looks clean way longer than black. Can't wait to see the finished product!

    Still debating on color. White does look clean but black looks bad A$$!

    Here are a couple of shots of car back from blasting and a coat of black primer. Sides are marked and ready to cut so the flares can be welded on.
