Great work with the headlight restoration. I think I need to do something about mine too

 

Loving the detail you're putting into this car! Keep it up!

And lets play spot the rock chips:






Wheels go on next week along with some new carbon interior bits. And we'll get some final exterior detail shots once the wheels are one.

 

Test fit the wheels today. Rears predictably did rub and we took them back off. 315/25 PS2's would've been fine but the 305/30 PSS's are so chunky with their square sidewalls rub. We took them off and i'll be ordering some spacers to re-attempt another install + possible inner fender modification and/or fender rolling next week.

But they looked amazing wheel installed. I can confirm the 245/35's in the front are perfect with no rubbing.

 

That stance is going to be worth the extra effort.

 

nice build bro, very nice you should do this as a part time side business, lol

 

Thanks Gents! Been waiting about 12 months to see what they looked like on the car and I was pleasantly surprised. I think it should look good when we get it dialed in.

 

Very Nice... can't wait for more pics.

 

Great job! Car looks great, and I was amazed to see how well the rock chips fixed up.
Glad to see my old center console lives on and is in the hands of a true enthusiast :-)

 

Yes and I get compliments on it all the time!

Installed an iPod connector and some carbon defroster trim pieces on Friday. We attempted the wheel install for the second time with a 3mm/5mm/7mm spacer to see what would work best. The +7mm seems to be the safest from an inner clearance perspective, but we're concerned under compression the outer fender is a bit close (currently 2-3mm) so we didn't install once again and will re-attempt next week with some minor fender rolling just to be safe.

Exhaust went into production on Friday so should have that as well soon.

Pics soon I swear!

 

Amazing job! Looks great. What are the offsets on the wheels?

 

They are a +47 in the rear now but we'll be effectively running a +40 with the spacers.

 

Nice. Keep up the good work

 

Wheels Installed... Exterior Completed Photoshoot!

Well almost done... exhaust is being fabbed up and should be done next week and I will be refinishing the calipers with the RUF logo, etc but 95% done lets say. Today was the first time I stood back and looked at what I've created over the past year and I kind of can't believe how well it turned out. Feeling very grateful to have this machine in my possession!

Don't hate on my hideous lug bolts... they are getting replaced!












Still got some few niggles on the interior to do but it's coming along!

 

How/where did you get your calipers re-logoed? Cost, if you don't mind?
