Default RWB Conversion...Warning not for the purest

I know after searching the older threads that RWB's design and style is a very polarizing discussion.

That said, I have always like the look and started discussing a possible build with the owner of RWB, Nakai-san back in December. Well, long story short, I agreed to purchase the parts even before I owned a 993. He agreed to come to the United States to build it for me (as he has done for the other (3) 993 and (2) 964 owners).

If you are interested, here are a few picture documenting the first two days of the build.

That looked like a beautiful car before! At the end of the day, the only thing that's important is that you like it! Thanks for posting the pics. It'll be cool to see the transformation.

Are you adding a 150hp mod to the engine to make up for the additional drag?
