No, i was an iroc bumper with some fabrication flaws i presume, maybe pulled out of its mold to early and flared out a bit 1- 2 inches, also a little warped.
Thanks giovanni.....just subscribed to your thread

Wowzers - what a great build - strange but I seem drawn to the color

I saw you did not modified the front of the chassis to improove the fitment of the oil cooler... do you think to have "enought space"?

I ask you because my mechanic is planning to mount a smaller oil cooler with respect to the original and he said me that is not necessary to modify the chassis... I'm a bit warried

WOLVERINE 02-24-2011 10:34 AM

Giovanni,
I am not to worried about it mostly because 1. i'm not racing it and 2. most 911's in the PNW aren't even running oil coolers up front, it doesnt get hot enough here for a long period of time, also i wanted to get the car finished this year.
In the future i may go back and remodify the front , but until then, we'll just see how it works.

giovanni86 02-24-2011 11:26 AM

:)

so my mechanic is right


thanks

Some updates of the slow progress, but progress none the less, and yes that is a GT3 RS muffler that will eventually be mated to the exhaust system.

lovely build wolverine ive been following it with interest

The length can still be trimmed down, the final testing will be done when the car is fully rebuilt and has been checked out by Al Kosmal, under a load and/or dyno'd.
be sure check out Al's "Triumph Speed Triple EFI" thread here on pelican...also with the screen filters i am still having cleareance issues....but we'll figure it out.

Thanks for checking out the thread , more to follow.

Hi,
Any updates?

Thanks.

WOLVERINE 06-21-2012 10:44 PM

Sorry it's been a long while since last updated, but car is finally out of the garage for the first time in years, and its on it's way to Fordahl's to get the remaing body parts on and aligned, all brake lines installed and tested, alignment, wheels balanced, ride height set and corner balanced. here are some pics til car comes home.

All that will remain when i get her back will be to finish some electrical issues and get Al Kosmal's EFI kit dialed in........more to come.......almost there.

911 tweaks 06-22-2012 02:15 AM

great...!! you have almost made it...interesting pics...did the ford in the driveway delay ~ prolong this project...?? if it did, I understand as that is a nice car as well...
Also, seeing the slightly unearthed blue tarp on the side of the dirt road looks like you "unearthed" or dug up your car since they are the same color blue...... do you have another car like that buried there as I will come & dig one up if you don't mind... :-)
Can't wait till you fire that beast up...!! how long did the shop say they need the car for till she is returned...??
Carry on...thx for sharing...
Bob

Dantilla 06-22-2012 04:33 AM

Can't wait see the finished product.....

Fordahl's shop was one of the last stops my car made before being (almost) roadworthy.
I'll be there soon to drop off some stuff. Hopefully your car will still be ther so I get an up-close look!

al lkosmal 06-22-2012 06:32 AM

Way to go Tony. It's been a long road and I'm glad to see you back at it again. Email me with your schedule regarding when your car will be back in the garage and I'll work my way over there.

Al

PS: Fordahl's did a great job on my 77, many years ago...and on my current ride (Dan's ex).

Love how this is turning out. Get one of the SEINE systems hood props. It will be lighter and slip out less often than the 2x4.

I love the color, especially.

I will,thanks Doug, your car was one of my inspirations........the 2x4 is temporary...( free.... lol)

DW SD 08-14-2012 03:20 PM

yeah, the price is right on the 2x4! You could buy ten or fifteen for one of the Seine systems'

for what it is worth, their gate shift kit works really well, too, if you don't spend the $ on WEVO.

Thanks ........ Now I just need to locate front and rear seals to put between body and bumpers, as their is a bit of a gap.

You could use a 964 smile up front. I can't offer any guidance on the rear.

Waiting for clutch and tranny to be finished... back in on the 5th of September...

https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...62196188_n.jpg

Resealing 73 style 915 tranny... was leaking on the clutch, causing problems shifting...

New tires 275/45r16.. Toyos... biggest I can fit/find.

ARE your wheels shown above 17's? I can't imagine how they could be as wide if not.

My powerplant is back in...

http://www.74911rs.com/images/withmotor.png

... And not much luck harvesting oil spots! HA!

Tom Amon rebuild, perfect re-install, no leaks, no fuss, just very fast.

Amazing!
The wheel wells are filled in nicely and perfectly.
What is the trick to that?
I seen some cars which don't look as perfect as yours.
Thanks.
