Been a while since an update, things are definitely moving. Rear fender finishing touches and wheel fitment have been the main focus. The rear fender lip needed some tweaking to make it right. Keith made the needed adjustments and has 3D printed the lips for final fitting.

[ktr6]

Now that the fenders are finalized it was time to check wheel fitment/tire size etc.




Rears will need to be narrowed slightly to fit but they are close! They have been mailed out for machining.

Front trunk pained to match the original.

There can never be enough updates, so thanks! that 3D work is off the hook!

Yes things are still moving along slowly but surely, my hope is to have this project wrapped up by the end of the year. Ill post some updates in the coming weeks.

Steering wheel hub adaptor has been machined.

Wheels back from being machined to proper offsets as they were a little wider that what was needed to fit in the fenders. They are also painted and had a very good trial fit.

Next we needed to figure out seats, the original MS has an RSR passenger seat and a Lollipop driver seat. As I looked around I found Ward at Vintage Seats located in Cumming, GA. He said he could make an RSR seat as supplied no problem and had it ready in short order. It has the proper gel coat back and uses Recaro material.

[ktr6]

While I was talking with Ward about the project he mentioned he had an original Lollipop seat in storage and was considering making a proper lollipop replica at some point down the road. After studying it and giving it some thought it seemed like the right time to make it happen. Work began and within roughly 90 days he delivered a great seat as promised. The new seat has pleated recaro material on the front with a carpet back.

I have to take a moment to compliment Ward and his work. His customer service is phenomenal, always available and delivers his product on time and as promised.

Here are some pictures of the original:





And the finished product:

WOW! Great updates!!

The thing I always tell people, when I mention this build, is the level of commitment to detail for this car. It really separates then men from the boys, here. Incredible work, as always! Super excited to see more and I definitely want to come by and see the finished product before you guys kick it down the road. I'm just a short drive away.

I will also now check out Ward, since you mentioned him. My project will eventually need seats as well.

Thank you for the update! Please keep them coming!

Thank you for the compliment, if you look back on page 27/28 Keith discussed designing a shifter that would look identical to the 915 while allowing us to use the G50/01 that came with the car. Everything has been machined and is ready to go in the car. Transaxle has been rebuilt to factory specs and a Guard LSD installed. Here are some images of the final machined parts.

Rotors are ready. Going to use 930 rotors, centers were provided by Zuffenhaus and the center backing rings were machined from 1/8 stainless.

[Craig_D]

Wow, that's some glorious looking hardware!

[wayner]

Excitement!!!

[Racerbvd]

Wow!!!!
