Great work and looking good.

Going for the "correct" thing or building it your way? Either way, enjoy.

Red/Red is awsome on C3's.What baffles me is how can a 40.000 mile car get so bad off.That looks like a road hard put up wet 90.000 mile car the way it looks.Hope you got a sweet deal on it.By the looks of the work you've done it should be a show stopper.Are you going to stick with the CF? By the way,why the black paint on the rotor sruface.Is it protection until later on in the build so you don't get rust on the surface.Just trying to gleam a little knowladge in case I get the pleasure so time.I could to a rolling frame build and would love to.It's the rest of it (read bodywork)
