Currently working on getting the crank pulley removed, will be getting some help since I haven't been able to remove it to start replacing the water pump and oil pump.

I was testing fitment since I was bored, still work needing more measuring. I still need air suspension. I think I am going with SerialNine rear fenders, front fenders, and CSL trunk.

Yes I have been following 945Garage's work. I do think it might be more work to finish off and make everything look good. I hope that they can finish the car paint it and show customers what they can accomplish. It's always better imo if the customer can see what they can accomplish instead of parts unpainted not matching the car. The car is not lowered or anything so it s hard to get the full picture imo. No diss to them but I have a hard time buying something if it's not completed all the way.

Agreed.

Honestly I like the look of the Heros kit better, but feel like fitment would be a nightmare.
The end points of the Heros kit make it look like it would be a huge pain
He emailed me some additional photos, and they sorta confirm it.... no disrespect to him, cause it's a great looking kit, but I think it could be refined
He does do some AWESOME work though too.... holy crap

The Serial 9 kit should be cake to fit and mold in. (And front fender replacement much easier than molding)

I'm trying to contact SuperiorSC on here cause he's got a Serial 9... I wanna see more photos of the kit, edges of the rear and all that.... and some first hand about the fit

I know what you mean, it's hard to pick. I was looking to go with 945. But it seems like it might be more work, and or more time consuming. Not that body work isn't, I think it's just that is not painted. But 945 is a good looking kit, SerialNine's is as well. Is all about taste and the final look you are going for. 945's kit is a bit more low key I think. I don't know I might still on the fence.

Well let's start by saying that garage needs to be cleaned. Aside from that I just need to tap the oil pump out to be able to replace it.
