I noticed in one photo your blue car has a sunroof but in other photos I can't see it. Did you do a sunroof delete? That's something on my list.
sunroof is still installed. no plans to delete

Are you doing anything performance-wise with the white one? Have you posted any details on what you've done anywhere? I'd love to read/see more!

Isys, I did not get a chance to check the PNs on the ducts today - sorry. Will do tomorrow.
Personally Steve there is something about the white GT2rs that I think is special hence why wrapped mine satin white.

Great work on the transformation by the way!! Click image for larger version

Hi Revving,

I really like the satin white on a 911. Sharkwerks has a couple of cars, amongst others a GT2RS and a 7GT3RS on their site in satin white. I actually called to find out what had been done to the cars. Apparently I wasn't the only one, because I discovered an explanation and product description somewhere on their site a little later. It is a satin, clear protective film (but I couldn't find the link just now).

Like your car! Nice!

Progress was very slow throughout the summer, so I am still not driving. Work got in the way... Massively. But I will post an update soon.

Thanks Mit. I am enjoying the build - and I will def enjoy playing with the car!

The Range Rover I use for towing/hauling construction materials/going off-road/traveling to (somewhat) remote places is a first gen L322, MY 02. I am somewhat flabbergasted at myself at times, but I have to admit to owning 6 Land Rovers... Some of that has to do with my being a part of GAP-Diagnostic as I mentioned above. The rest is just plain silliness on my part...

The 02 RR is a TD6. It's not a rocket by any means, but it is quick enough to keep me playing with the smaller Audis and BMWs on the autobahn. And the motor is bulletproof - quite in contrast to the BMW V8s that were available in that gen RR stateside. Towing is great. I have a 3500kg hitch and regularly tow 2500kg+ without issues. And the RR is great to drive. It really is my favorite non-Porsche at the moment. I like it better than my late L322 TDV8 as it's more the get-dirty truck than a luxury SUV - at least for me.

If you are considering a RR for towing, I wouldn't hesitate. But look for an 05 or newer with the JLR V8. That motor is quite robust.

Hey man I've not seen any updates for a long time now. What happened? Are you still doing the build just not posting updates?
