mark2559 Posted 7December, 2021 Author Report Share Posted 7December, 2021 Time to post a few more pics that have accumulated over the last few months of the build. Body stripped to bare metal and epoxy primer applied. Should get colour early next week, with a goal to finish the body prior to Christmas. tomo, Stepo, edgy and 8 others 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark2559 Posted 13January, 2022 Author Report Share Posted 13January, 2022 Well finally got some colour on (just before Christmas). Amazon Green is a beguiling colour ... in the flesh it really is as per the Front Bumper ! Final paint and panel work this week ... then back to Corse Motorsport for some building ! edgy, MFX, Carrera28 and 9 others 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeatesy Posted 13January, 2022 Report Share Posted 13January, 2022 I just discovered this Mark and I’m loving the build thread. I will follow it with interest since I’ve just bought a car that is RS/RUF CTR Yellowbird inspired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely superb - though subtle, the roof rail delete looks cool too. 911CSR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark2559 Posted 28January, 2022 Author Report Share Posted 28January, 2022 Well next week the body returns to my mechanic (Corse Automotive, Sydney) for the assembly process. Visited Berlina Body Works today and thought I would post some before and after images. The car had recieved some very bodgy respray (at some time during the last 30 years) - including that they didn't even match the colour correctly (not even close). In the windscreen and rear screen surrounds we found the correct colour. Then mixed that colour & and an original formulation prior to settling on exactly what was Amazon Green. Here is the correct Amazon Green. Asyd, tomo, 911CSR and 12 others 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark2559 Posted 27June, 2022 Author Report Share Posted 27June, 2022 Well folks, my 1st update in 6 months. In the Hot Rod build game 6 months is akin to shopping at Colesworth for the rump steak ... there is still the cooking, seasoning and saucing still to go. Suspension, Brakes, Instruments, Shifter, Wiring harnes mods (no photos), Headlights, Rear Spoiler + associated plumbing, wiring etc are now in. So rather than me blab on, I will let the photos do some talking. reggiegums, poli84, tomo and 16 others 17 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark2559 Posted 28June, 2022 Author Report Share Posted 28June, 2022 Given that the wife would go balistic if I actually purchased a RUF ...

theGaraged Posted 12August, 2022 Report Share Posted 12August, 2022 Mark this is looking mega...Sub'd. About to commence a build on a UK import C2, can't wait to get cracking. Suspect I may not have your luck with rust... Juz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark2559 Posted 13August, 2022 Author Report Share Posted 13August, 2022 Thanks Juz, Check for rust: a) windscreen and rear screen lower corners (usual spots) + b) inside rear wheel wells, leading edge where the inner guard meets the outside skin. There is a mastic there that traps water over time and can cause problems (hard to get to and detect + remedy). I will be able to update further late next week.

333pg333 Posted 31August, 2022 Report Share Posted 31August, 2022 Mega mint thing you're doing here Mark! Love the colour too. Way better than what you were delivered. It's going to be epic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
