RwGreeny Posted 26December, 2020 Report Share Posted 26December, 2020 The metal sill cover with the black trim that runs under the doors. If you’re going to backdate the car to long hood spec you would be deleting it anyway. Just a couple of screw holes to weld up and respray the sill when you’re getting the bumpers done. Fairly simple to do. You could also do an SCRS front bumper if you didn’t want the front oil cooler opening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 26December, 2020 Report Share Posted 26December, 2020 If you delete sill trims, bog the holes instead of welding so that its not permanent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean by deleting the sills trims? What does that entail? Taking off the rocker panel trim under the door Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZ930 Posted 26December, 2020 Report Share Posted 26December, 2020 Longhood, IROC, RSR (2.7 and 3.0) and SCRS didn’t have the sill panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never even noticed the lack of sill between these models. I do like the black contrast it brings with Arrow Blue. Between the impact bumper, door sills, side scripts and rear guards, there is a nice black that runs along the car. Gotta think this through before spending $ on a conversion.

That said, your car is not original anyway, as it obviously has already chopped before for the widebody, so if it is what you really want. Go for it. The reflector mount, needs to be cut out, but you can keep it and weld it back in later if you ever want to revert it back.

But it was done by the previous owner so I didn’t see it on the operating table getting those wide flares fitted. I can’t place why I am hesitant to it. I love RWBs and enjoy watching Nakai San chop classic 911s. And so does Magnus Walker, who even has a “chop shop” filled with old 911s body panels. I would love owning those outlaws but don’t have the heart to do it myself 🤦♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 29December, 2020 Report Share Posted 29December, 2020 @blue_ixxi Maybe you should talk to @AndrewW As he told me today he didn't actually cut the rear panel off, but drilled out the spot welds Will send him this link to see what he comes back with MFX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you buy a backdate, then get used to explaining it (they are easy to spot). Ps. I have a mate thinking of selling his RWB if that is of interest.

cafe_racer Posted 29December, 2020 Report Share Posted 29December, 2020 I think if you don’t have the heart the best bet for a backdate is sell your nice example and pick up a LHD import that has been converted to RHD and isn’t in great shape. Problem being though those cars are now hard to come by and not as cheap as they used to be. 1 hour ago, OBRUT said: Answer in your best husky, sexy-time, voice: “What year do you want it to be???” Out of interest what is the going rate for a RWB?

MFX Posted 29December, 2020 Report Share Posted 29December, 2020 The RWB thing is really about what the base is and what else has been done to it. At the end of the day it is just a very well marketed fibreglass body kit. LeeM and cafe_racer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
