Signal Orange '73 RSR Replica
Posted: Wed Jul 18, 2007 8:49 am
Hello everyone. I thought I'd get some pics up of the '86 to '73 RSR backdating project Mark at RS-911 in Wales is doing for me. You can get more details at http://www.myrsr.com and the project diary blog on http://myrsr.blogspot.com/ so I won't go into great detail here. Basically, we're doing the project to get a car that will stick out amongst all the Porsche 997s and Lambos / Ferraris etc at the Cannonball 8000 rally this September. Mark has done an incredible job on a car that was frankly a heap of rust and rot. When I ventured that perhaps it had spent some of its life by the sea, Mark suggested that it was more likely in the sea. Anyway, she's looking good now, and only six weeks to go until we pick her up for the Cannonball 8000 run. I still need a few parts (exhaust, mirrors, door handles, door cards) and after Mark passes her over I've got to get clutch, shocks, geometry etc etc sorted before the rally. Finished in shiny signal orange, she'll look amazing - a day doesn't go by without me getting excited about it!!
