Pretty mucha the entire pile o' parts is OEM replacement parts. All suspension wear-components are going to be new. I'm deveating with springs, struts and bushing material, but it is going to remain essentially stock. Same goes with engine and interior components. The only 'upgrades' are going to be the type that improve drivabilty without changing the look or overall feel of the car (ie new-style timing-chain tensioner). If anything is broke or worn, it is getting replaced.
As for the dent, it is a place where the PO's 235-series tires contacted and pulled on the arch under near-full-lock. Im going to have to get a fender roller to bend the lip back under the fender and straiten the arch. Hopefully I can do it without damaging the paint further.
As far as the R1R's go, for the breif amount of time I've driven on them, I can say they are amaizing. Insane amounts of grip, and perfectly fine manners in moist PNW conditions.

Staggered or non? What offset are using up front et 13? Those R1R's look far more aggresive than my Hankook RS212's I would love some Star Specs in the right tire size but it appears I will have to order some Toyo's as they have the best selection of 225/45/16's right now.
Car looks good now that the suspension is sorted out. Bilsteins and which springs did you use?

F*ck. Your cars awsome man.
I miss the Pacific Northwest. I was up at Whidbey for 7 years. I'd go back in a second if I didn't have to deal with the sucubus that spawned my son.
Keep up the good work brother. I look forward to seeing this thing in an event.- '83 911SC
