I don't know how many times I've read that doc (at least 6 times!) but I love the read.
How much do you think all the work and parts set you back? I'm considering saving up for 6-9 months, buying a bit of a beat up s2k and working on it myself. I'd love to learn how to do body work, spray, repairs and so forth, while leaving the welding and fitting to the people who know what they're doing.

 

I really don't know but it's probably more than you'd think. I made the mistake of running a Quicken "track" expense report one year and was totally freaked out by how much I had spent. I haven't made that mistake again.

 

I started tearing into the CR last night. Rob, I look at your website often and it's been great motivation to feel like this is something I can at least partially do myself. It can be pretty intimidating jumping over that point of no return. Wanted to say thanks for taking the time to write up and maintain your page.

 

A very down to earth guide for people like us. Thanks rob

 

you have done your homework my good man, nice writeup.

 

I'm glad people are still using the web page. You guys are very welcome.

Rob

 

robrob, i read your site before i tackle any mod.

regarding your brake duct howto, is there any reason you chose to put the flanges on the outside of the dust shield as opposed to the inside?

 

I did it for clearance to the brake disk. Once you add the thickness of the flange and the rivet/bolt I was afraid it'd rub.

 

hah well i'll let you know if they rub as i installed the flanges on the other side in hopes of better air flow.

 

The dust shields are easy to bend so you should be able to adjust them if you need to.
