Ruby RS ready to go to Monaco this week by dedicated transport after which she will be registered on those classic Monaco plates by . A few minor details still to be done but no longer than a hrs work, it the small things that make it that much better.

We will swap the Red Stuff brake pads out for Oem, they brake like throwing out an anchor but squeak like carbon ceramics.

2nd will be the last and final alignment check after the 250km shake down we did last week.

F””””ing almost there….first and last backdate …that era is coming to a hard end soon enough. On to build cool cars.

Carbon fibre roof panel@from fitted on our e46 M3. We used 3m 08115 panel bonding adhesive for the edges were steel panel used to be spotwelded. On the roofbeams we applied 3m 08463 flexible souple foam which has 0 adhesive properties, it just expands gently without lifting effects but cancelling out future rattling. Tomorrow its fully cured and we can proceed to cut the excess foam away.

Yet another step closer to hitting the roads.

We thank for their incredible high quality carbon composite materials, all prepeg carbon cured in a autoclave and it shows. If there are any questions or doubts don’t hesitate to reach out.

Hey, , mira que todavia no he pillado ese detalle en el techo eh?! Saludiños!

So, as we got so many reactions to the Meissen Blue backdate we did I decided to post this backdate all metal build we did in a collab 3 yrs ago in a own formula blue sitting between Coppaforio and Gulf blue and lighter than the Meissen blue we just did. Why post it now and not sooner? A thing called NDA and a big stack of cash😜 ( could’ve posted it without disclosing clients as intellectual property of vid and pics is a thing in NL but respecting your collab at all times is just common courtesy) prevented me to posting this and seeing the contractor is no longer in business here we are.

Base coat as usual Axalta Cromax Centari 6000, clear coat Standox Extreme clear coat as it was dead winter when we painted it.

Long journey but well worth it. Started 3 yrs ago with the purchase in France, after that she got on the waiting list, finally came in last year. What started as a simple paintjob soon evolved into full suspension overhaul with 100% original RS components, interior reverb light edition keeping the patina in the leather, replacing the inserts filling and light coloring of faded sections, carpet was partially replaced and brushed old to tie in with the rest of the fabrics thus maintaining the original Carrera RS script on the bulkhead fabric.

Engine needed an top end rebuild as in the past it was done on the fly method so together with our good friend Porsche mechanic extraordinaire Ronald Paul, Gio did his first Porsche RS engine in house, all under the 40+ yrs supervision of El Gran Ronaldo!

Car drives like a dream, you completely forget you’re driving a 34 year old car. The engine pulls very strong, gearbox shifts like butter, brakes like it wants to break your neck and handles…o man it handles soooo good!!! We’ve driven quite the selection of RS and Gt3’s but this one takes the cake. Soon it will go to Monaco join the rest of the collection and will be enjoyed hopefully in good health.

Big thanks to all involved and contributors to a piece of this cars history, onwards we go to make more memories.

Tremendous clean up with dry ice by Ayden Dean from . This E39 is not a car we wanted to water-blast completely as the aim was to do a in depth resto/mod preserving the original underbody coating and the under the hood finish as much as possible.

Sry ice blasting gave us exactly what we were looking for: no more grease, oil residues, baked on dirt and other road grime from 26yrs of German and Swedish roads use, all gone in a blink of an eye. We can now address all issues revealed and make it a almost 0km e39 540i. After our holidays we will set up the body on a rotisserie and start with the e39 M5. Same story on that one but with a 9000km base car….

in house cleaning the underbody of the 540 project. Its ultra loud but the difference after a few dry ice passes is beautiful. This saves us and the clients so much time and maintaining the original look as well. It also helps identify any issues like starting rust and/or coating issue you would be able to see by simply power washing the underbody. Next up will be wheelhouses and engine bay.
