Steel wheels, center fill tank, seats, duck, lights, all looks great.

Very cool
great color, love the seats, I think I have a set of wheels you can borrow, just kidding.
We should hook up sometime, I'm on the cape.

Ferrari Guy,

It looks very purposeful - I love it. My favorite cars look like they were designed and built for a specific reason - not for the masses. Very nice.

Thanks for the compliments.
 

There are a few more things on my list but all in all the car is pretty close to what I had envisioned. I wanted a short hood Euro Cafe' Racer.

Jax where are you on the Cape? I grew up and Sandwich.
Are you going to the Hemmings Import and Sports Car show at Lime Rock? A whole group of MA Pelicanites are caravaning down together and you are welcome to join us.

I WANT THOSE SEATS! Only in a red and black path.

Nice looking car.

Those seats are fantastic! I have family on Cranberry Drive, I'd love to see the car next time I'm in town.

Nice car, cool wheels, I applaud your taste and originality.

Andrew,
I work in Sandwich, live in Cotuit, would love to hook up for limerock, when is it?

Jack.

Klaucke, I live on the lake about 2 miles from Cranberry Drive.

email me when your going to be in town and we can meet up.

Limerock sounds great, I'll start the planning, could be my coupes first voyage, hope it is done in time, if not I'll take the targa.

That's certainly not something you see everyday....good work....

Looks pretty good, not too sure about the wheels.

I think a nice finishing touch would be to ditch the rocker panels and have it filled in and painted.

I feel the rockers tie the front and rear bumpers well
 

plus they cover up the oil lines. I kept them on purpose. The wheels were chosen to have something other than the usual suspects on a short hood. I actually have the Factory hubcaps I have just not gotten around to putting them on.

Short hoods are cool and don't generally rust. Nice job! So stop being a tease and give us the details? Did you fill the fender filler? Fuel cell? Engine? Suspension? And I really like your seats.

Who widened the wheels?? I love the look of widened steelies:D

Don't be fooled by the gas cap, it's just for looks!!! I've seen the car in person. Those seats are out of a Honda....
Love ya Andrew...

LOL Moe, I shoulda gone that route!

BEAU-TI-FUL !

I like it a lot. The detail that sticks out most to me is the mirror(s). Something round and small, like a Raydot, would look nice.


What switchgear are you using for the Marchals?

ok a little coffee in me and more memory comes back..

Andrew, you haven't had your large DD ice coffee yet???!!!!
Those wheels are cool, by the way, I love the gas cap. My car just got a 3.2 yesterday!!!

Dane, the tank is made by TRE using a standard spacesaver. Dave patches the original hole and welds in the center pipe. it's a nice tank but there's no bladder in it. It doesn't really account for the sloping angle of the hood, rather it uses compression friction from the flexible hose connecting the filler to the tank inlet. And as you would expect, it's not a plug and play affair, but nothing a big jack handle and a little English couldn't fix. The water catch is a frying pan, nice design.

MOE! Congrats on the 3.2!
 

Fantastic!

I was tempted by a Euro 3.2 that was listed for sale here. Still not sure if I want to go that route.

Are you going to Lime Rock on the 27th of May?

Chris B is going to try to make it with the Blue Phoenix!

Andrew

Looks great Andrew. I can't wait to see in person. Love the gas tank. I wouldn't change motors. As far as a motor swap, enjoy what you have and if it then gets boring, go for it. Hopefully we'll get on some autocrosses together this year.

See you soon,

David

I really like the sticker in the back window - very cool.

Thanks Dave!
 

And I hope you can meet us to caravan to Lime Rock.

The sticker in the back window came with the car when I bought it. So far it got one funny comment from a older woman at a gas station. She asked me if the car ran on diesel.

ONE LESS SUV I think some SUV's get better gas mileage than my 911. Well at least my X5 does get better mpg than the 911 so there is one example.
