Porsche 993 RS (1995) - Estado de Concurso

Hello...im back

Porsche 993 RS from 1995 with 72000 kms on the clock was brought to us to see what we could do with the current state , was left to our discretion to provide
the solution.
This had a name and was "Estado de Concurso" where the limit is define by the owner´s "will" .





The general condition was not bad but the detail could not achieve the desired expectations of the owner who drove the car 400kms away from us.
But applying the philosophy of detail should get where we want , so let´s continue the report






Serious flaws in the painting, starting to clear coat failure , early appearance of a small spot of rust as a result of water infiltration by
rubber mounted poorly.




Bonnet suporte broke.



Early paint jobs here and the preparation that involved a total of more than 8 purposeful trips to see how it ran, and also
ensure the quality , never enough in every bodyshop.








Bumpers were cracked, repaired and ready to be painted.



Meanwhile reached our facilities the Roll Bar with 6 support belts to be installed and painted as the color of the RS.



Brought the seats to be leather repaired and detailed.



Dismantled and detailed.



Screws painted



Paint correction of the seats and protected with Zaino Z3.




Ready to be stored until mounted again when we bring the RS to us.




Rollbar tested and ready to be removed to be painted the color of 993.




Days later it was time to collect the RS 993 to be detailed.



And what a day for collecting the car , pouring rain and huge traffic , at least served to test the rubber mounted and everything was 100%.



Arrived to Car Detail




6-point belts installed in the driver seat to show the owner how it looked.



Next day began the 2nd half of the marathon, after being washed and prepared it was time for correcting paint.

Sanding marks, swirls and holograms present and for those who think that the repainted panels do not cause trouble, take a look.









Despite the correction was 100% but the panel did not have the normal finish and we asked to repaint the panel again.



When you use Professional Bodyshop services it´s normal they agree without hesitation repaint the bonnet, and yes this time the level of painting
was at great level, after correction the paint was simply fabulous.




Taking advantage of the fact that the bonnet was out , we continued detailing and later helped us a lot as you'll see.

Very nice, I mean.. very very nice... but to me this is not really a detail.

To me a detail is restorating something.. You didn't really restore anything. all lens were changed, rollcage, seat belt, ( at one point, I was like.. is this a performance shop?) car repainted etc.

Sure the dedication is fabolous but that's not my definition of car detailing tho, it's way more a bodyshop restoration. None the less, for the third times, the job is fantastic!

 

Yes i agree it´s not a detail

I didn´t paint corrected all the car , 40% was repaired and repainted because no detail would do anything about it and they all were paint corrected.
I didn´t restored the leather of seats
I didn´t detailed the interior
I didn´t detailed the engine
I didn´t detaied the trunk
I didn´t detailed the rear lights and inside areas. ( front too )
I didn´t detailed the wheel arches and rimms ( one day and half only for that )
I didn´t protected the paint and before that i cleansed
I didn´t polished and cleaned the rear inside windows without seats for a perfect finish.
I dind´t polished the exausts
.......bla bla...

Did you read the report ??? :shead:

Phenomenal work there, always enjoy browsing your write-ups here and on DW. Your shop is top notch too!

 

Thanks Chas , im starting to post here my works....

 

Once again, very nice work Rui!

 

Great work Rui, was a restoration.

 

The "Peanut Gallery" always has someone say......"She is beautiful but her boobs are to big/small", this guy just showed the definition of "Certified tightness". Rui it is good to know QUALITY is paramount in your fine facility!!!!

 

Thanks again EbbeJ

 

Thanks man

 

THANK YOU Bob

 

Awesome job Rui! True dedication to a comprehensive job and a amazing final result!

 

Very Nice work Rui... very enjoyable!

 

wow........ that is how its done folks.

 

Well done! Awesome job documenting the progress as well.

 

please quantify what you define as a detail? I am very curious, to me he went above and beyond a detail. He did some major work here, besides the norm. He noted "5 days of correction"; wheels dismounted, cleaned etc......... how is this not a detail? The guy even polished and sealed the rollbar........

this defines a complete detail if you ask me, nothing was left un touched.......

How is this not "restored", its beyond restored, and most people here would agree.

if it was me, I would have done the EXACT same treatment on the headlights, replaced not try to correct.... after all the age of the car speaks for itself, and headlamps don't last for ever.





:shead:
