Thanks guys for the compliments. It's been a fun project. Have the next round of updates for you next weekend. Always more to do!

Kevin,

I keep my CGT at Ruf and had the pleasure of seeing your car come together. What a beauty!

I'm looking to do red seat belts in the 993tt. Can you tell me where you got yours? Thanks.

Brian,
THanks for looking over her! I know there were a few fellow 6speeders that were able to see the transformation live. You're lucky to be so close to RUF!

I got my front belts from Gert at Carnewal. The rears I bought from a board member.

Love the CGT. Wanta trade!

Kevin

Thanks for the belt info.

I don't think I'll be trading the CGT anytime soon, but the Turbo R is an incredible package. While your car just digs in and goes, mine just sits there and fights for traction. I bet yours is every bit as fast to around 60 as the CGT. I could easily be talked into converting mine to a Turbo R.

I will trade your scenery and locale for mine. Our roads around here stink and I have to travel at least 200 miles before I get to some good twisties.

I am lucky to be close to Ruf - those guys are awesome.

Ok,
Latest round of updates. Actually 2 changes. Nothing drastic, but far from easy mods. one is easy to spot and totally reversible, the other... not so much.

Apologize for the crappy pics...

Cheers!

Kevin

Kevin - are you considering removing the rain gutters? I love the centered exhaust ... it's very uncommon and it just "looks" right.

Thanks Cannoli.

Haven't really considered doing the gutters to this point. I heard that is a tough job as well. At this rate, I should have just bought a CTR2!!! Probably would have been the more economical!

I've heard the same too ... but if you do get a wild hair up your **** and you do remove the gutters, you MUST do the CTR2 engine cover mod. Relocate those inter-coolers as they should be!

I love spending other people's money ...

Oh, the CTR2 ... one of my favorite RUFs to date.
