The Phoenix
We hike down the infamous subframe chassis reinforcements, and make our way back to the surface with a much bigger bill than expected - but it's all for the better.
In this entry, we tackle the hard part about doors: the interior. We strip the original doors and I document all the little things that make an OE door fully functional. I draw the line between used parts that will be transfered and others that would be replaced.
In this entry, I explore new wheel fitment possibilities opened up by the wider fenders in preparation for the 163M CSL style forged wheel program. I include fitment tables and in-depth specs.
In this entry, I touch on the completion of the mechanical refit, my modest DIY contributions and the final test fit of carbon panels before the final paint round.
In this entry, I touch on expectations of OE+ versus Motorsport, and we finally test fit the carbon doors along with the widened carbon fenders. I document the gaps, and body line alignments along with insights on how doors are aligned.
In this journal entry: craftsmen get better with repetition. I unbox my new steering wheel, and compare it to my first commissioned unit back in 2022.
