I wonder is they will fix that Turbo R. It's worth cubic bucks.

Looks pretty hammered. You'd need a new chassis which defeats the purpose I'd say.

Guard vents look fucking nuts, but as spiller said, I'd be surprised if they make production.

Can anyone explain to me what the reasoning is behind the square/flat edge on the sides of the front guard (where it ends right over the wheels)? I see this all the time in modern cars. Is it a result of a certain manufacturing process? Some cars have it more than others. Its ugly as all fuck.

It's a trio of strength, repair-ability and drag.

is it known who was at fault or how it happened?

[Uncle]

I've not really dug into it. There is prolly a thread on the bird but ICBF looking.

BLO, RUF would fix it. 993 turbos are worth bucks alone. Add a RUF build and well you get the picture. As a side note RUF have been buying back there old intercoolers for stupid money over the last few years to put on to customer restoration work. The company that made them went belly up years ago and the demand for legit non repo parts is high.

chassis?

and yeah i'd 99% guarantee with current prices someone would rebuild that. Have you contacted them about the wheels yet (if they don't rebuild) uncle?

[BLO 767]

It would be more for perseverance if someone wanted to get into one on somewhat of a budget I mean. A re-shell on a road car would put off the savvy owner buyer for originality and collect-ability value.

[Uncle]

Dude I think you're vastly underestimating the worth of the car. Even as a fixed stacked car it worth well into 6 figures.

Russ they are the wrong wheels lol.

[BLO 767]

Of course, but it'll always be a write-off though, and never the original car that it was destined to be from factory. Which on a race car is kind of a given, but on a road car, to me it will never be the same no matter how sought after. Like that wrecked F40 - an easy $300,000 minimum under price.

[Stix Zadinia]

they won't write it off, it's worth too much. It'll probably go back to Porsche Classic or Ruf and they'll re-manufacture it (and document it) and the value will be close to unaffected.

base 993 turbos are up around $150-$200k USD, this one is a bit of a special case. that's assuming it's a real S or a real Ruf Turbo R

that wrecked F40 that Gas Monkey Garage sold for $675k?

[Uncle]

My bet is it will be packed up in a box and sent to RUF. They as the manufacturer of the car will fix it.

[BLO 767]

Be sure to update in any case, would be good to track progress of the rebuild!

[Stix Zadinia]

Bruce Canapa has said it doesn't look good for repair



don't know if i'm a fan of the colour, but i guess you can't choose

[BLO 767]

Also Stix, not that one but that's another good example. Kidston have this one that no-one wants to touch.

Hard to believe it was once heavily damaged, though. Lost the entire rear into a wall. Remarkable.

[Uncle]

Look at Romans white 959. :p

[Stix Zadinia]

i haven't been on pelican in ages, is that finished yet? this is all i remember



oh and him making kevlar bits

EDIT: seems like he's stopped for a while, due to be finished 2017-2018
