993 Carrera 2 1994

[Bootsy]

Paintwork booked in for end of month

Staying blue for the foreseeable then?
How much paint?

Yes Blue

A fair bit.

Surprising when you go round it and then end up earmarking most panels for paint

Obviously still a lot less than a full colour change

Does it drive well i.e. Doesn't leave you nervous at 70mph? I ended up replacing everything which was rubber at front and rear, including wishbone bushes and shocks. The whole lot.

Subframe bushes too.

In saying that you have so few miles you might be fine.

Seeing as you have the wheel off, you're "in there" more or less

[KS]

He doesn't drive it, so no problems with bushes...

[Bootsy]

They are a little wallowy but mine has lowered stiffer suspension and doesn’t make me feel nervous

[Bootsy]

Slooooooooooow progress.

The mechanical work is all but completed.

The windows are out

New rear bumper fitted

Ready to go into the paint bay for prep and paint.

Went in October 31st but when I visited late December it hadn't been touched.

Ensuing argument with paint shop, grumpy Bootsy, toys out of pram etc. and I pulled it from them and booked it in with another shop that I have also used before.

Going in today! Hurrah

[Bootsy]

No progress!

Allegedly the bodywork and paint starts in earnest next week with a 4 week plan

Hoping to then get it all refitted, last few
Mechanical bits and MOT in time for CLM

We shall see

[anglophone1]

Was hoping to see the (now) yellow car at CLM- looks much better IMO!

[Bootsy]

Fancy taking the 993 but we shall see!

[Bootsy]

Still plenty of time before CLM right?

The whole car should be primed tomorrow and in paint and baking by the weekend - allegedly!

Still plenty of time!

I think I’ll be the only early car there at this rate!

[anglophone1]

1978 will be early compared with this!

While the back clip is off....expect to replace ...clip support bars, heat shield system and get the corrosion cut out of the rear chassis rails, repaired, repainted and heavily waxed etc. Prepare for surprises. It's certainly policy to get it done.

[Bootsy]

Been through all of that a few months ago including new supports and anything else that needed replacing

Bought new heat shields a while ago when - knew they needed replacing

It’s also got a new rear bumper

[Bootsy]

Ready for some paint to be laid down - 12 days to Classic Le Mans - still possible!

Bit tight, I'd say! CLM 2020 should be OK.
