Getting better at finishing these flares! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Now, I have no way of knowing if you’ve been following this build at rennch.com/YouTube for the 56 videos I’ve posted about this car, but you should know that this **** is getting real. Really real. #blasphemybuild #diy #rennch #ourwhyisDIY #TT #400+HP

If all the metal is in good condition, I would give it a good brush finish and clear coat it. That would look really cool. Good job by the way.

Great car, very entertaining YouTube channel, and some inspiring photos above! I enjoy watching your videos and have to remind myself sometimes with what you started out with- 993-bodied race car. This will be one trick pony when she gets on the road. I encourage everyone to watch the battle waged on the fitment of the transmission, starter, and adapter plate! Crazy...

Thanks man. Despite the immense amount of fabrication to get this 911 chassis back to “stockish “, this pelican crew is not incredibly interested in this build because of the power plant. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
I find your Subie alternative MUCH more in line our small coupes’ design intent than the V8 offerings from Gen Motors. And I’m guessing it could be a reasonably priced option as our Stuttgart engines get more and more scarce in the future... Carry on, you have an awesome project.

I have to admit that I too was rooting for a air cooled power plant for your 69 However, I think as air cooled parts continue to rise in cost, water cooled motors for projects like yours will be more accepted. Especially Subaru. I have a 77 911 backdate project that I’m hoping to get started on next year. It’ll be powered with a 78 3.3 turbo. I bought the roller, motor and all the needed parts several years ago. There’s no way I could even contemplate this project with today’s prices. I’m hoping that you’ll keep posting your progress here. It’s an interesting project and it’s been fun following along. |
I think this is a cool build, given where this car started it's a miracle it is even close to something that looks like the original car. I just don't have a lot of time to watch the videos - I'm usually multi-tasking reading this forum while sitting on work zoom calls. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/heks.gif
Always interesting to see how creative you guys can be dealing with the injustices that were done to these cars over the years. This build and engine swap is definitely creative and is great to see the process. Bill |

I'm running a few weeks behind on your videos, will catch up soon. I can see your excitement now that it looks like a car once again. Meanwhile my own project languishes.

I love the build. I admit that I am not a video watcher. I hardly ever watch TV. But I like to read details in posts.
Keep on... |

I clamped the rear bumper on just so I can see how it looked. It’s pretty close overall! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Keep up the great work! BIG fan of your YT channel.

I folow you on Youtub and here on Pelican, like to watch the improuvments over the weeks.
Keep on the good work. Cyril from France. |
PM box is full...trying to send you one.

The metal work is highly impressive but have you worked out how you are going to bleed the cooling system?
That center inlet, center exit radiator, not to mention the flex hose running to it is going to make bleeding almost impossible. I totally understand the cost reasons not to use a Porsche engine (though 996TT engines are pretty reasonable) but keeping that Subi fed with cool water and good oil pressure is going to be paramount to keeping it alive. |
How much ground clearance do you have with the ez30r? I believe it has a very short oil pan, so it can't really be shortened like the ej20's?

Wanted to share this amazing video that Michael created from an un-boxing. Thanks for this one!

Pretty damn cool project. I had collected some Subie parts for a possible 914 project....but ended up with a 911 and am considering an LS instead. So will follow this build closely for ideas!!!
I will be adding flares as well...but TIG'd and hammerwelded...(less grinding, less filler, less problems later) Those wiring kits are pretty nice....use them often where I work. Go together smoothly. |
I am long overdue for an update here! I know there are a few naysayers out there because of the engine, but I've been working on the car for two years doing custom bodywork and custom bumpers, etc...the engine hasn't even been touched yet. So it might be worth checking out, especially if you are doing bodywork or some customization on your car!
|
A few peeks of the custom 3-D printed LED lights, as well as the car in full primer, which I did in my backyard. Side view of the scoop, which I am actually redoing. But it was a good project to practice my fabrication chops.

Rear bumper fitment came out great. TRE Motorsports supplied custom fiberglass flare ends to match the ST flares, so there was a lot of customization to fit them, but they look perfect.

I truly enjoy your YouTube build videos and how you share the good, the bad, the fun, etc with each installment. I still pucker up every time I see the engine tip over and kick the car to the right!! :0

Awesome, can't wait for more! Good to hear the words about Mike Brewer. It's shocking people act like that towards one of us.
|
Love it!!
|
You're packing in a few hours. Looks really good.

Thanks guys. It’s been an amazing learning experience. So far, I have not had a single bolt on part it has not had to be highly modified.

Real crazy thought: water-cooled mezger block out back :eek: Anyone done that with a long hood? must be out there somewhere
I dig the innovation within the classic ST-style lines. Don't know a lot about subie motors, the fast ones sure can scoot though! As much as a 2.5SS or 2.8 MFI monster would be at home out back... you best carry on at this point for everyone's sake :cool: |
Yea, it’ll be 420+ HP, for about 5k total.

I really dig the taillights, but if you could manage to make it a one piece like this Singer style, that would be 1000 plus cool and sign me up for a purchase. ;)

I like the metal finished tail light area much better.
It will hold up & look better over time than the 1-piece or the fiberglass units. Really finishes out & carries the lines of the corners all the way to the end. I really like the scoop too! Really is starting to come together, keep up the great work. If you decide at some point that the Subaru is not enough, you will already be set up for a K24! |
New End of Year Timelapse Video
Hi all. Here's an end of year timelapse video, which covers installing the ST Flares from TRE Motorsports, creating a rear bulkhead (seat area) from scratch to fit over my 996 Transmission, priming the car, cutting apart and custom fitting the front and rear bumpers, my active aero and automated quarter window prototypes, my 3D Printed taillights, and more. It's been a busy year!

At first I was a bit Iffy on the color… but not anymore… looks wicked!

Honestly, I haven't been able to take a picture that does it justice yet.
Everyone who's seen it person says "it looks SO much better than the pictures". It's very rich and deep. Quote:
