Very nice project, must feel great to be almost done!
Excellent fit on the front bumper/RUF spoiler, is that from Dave at TRE? |

Aaron, it was still in pieces when you guys were here!
The front bumper I got from Steve Alacron (I believe getty makes his stuff), the tail is from Shaw, the rear bumper is from RaceDev (perfect fit) and the hood is from Rennspeed. Jeremy, the 3.6 I bought ended up beind sold to a friend. He posts on here regularily and we will be making a 3.8 out of it for his car. I think my next motor will use some larger Nickies...... Cheers

There is a lot of hours, as you know, putting it back together. Everything was labelled and bagged and the widows had their seals on etc before I started! The headliner was the longest job...
Cheers

Will we see it at Sunpeaks for the PCA-CWR in August?
Or, you could organize a "Porsche North" now that Jeff has given up.  Too bad that Duffy Lake Rd is so awful. Very nice landscape but........a lot of people have bottomed out on those roller-coaster bumps; very expensive.

Awesome. Been a real joy following Jeff's progress. Kudos to him for all his posts and replies to keep everybody informed and get help. Anybody who's documented stuff like this knows it takes time to keep everyone involved with pictures and posts. Not to mention the guy's been developing the ITB setup + cooking up some new forged Fuchs replicas to manufacture!!!
Jeff, Do that hotrod some justice and throw some close-ratio gears in it. It'd be a shame not to, considering how far you've come! Congrats on reaching the apparent end of a long road coming. You're an inspiration to a lot of the faithful around here.

Scales came early.....
Here it is with out me and a half tank of gas.....  And with me in it......  Not wanting to start a corner balance method discussion, but after much research decided to optimize the left to right front weights for braking and sacrifice a little on the rear..... Cheers

I run Tues and Thursday evenings but I am usually home by 8:00PM.
I need your opinion on what I should do with this. Wife says sell it. Son says keep it

Thanks for the kind words guys.
This car took a back seat to many projects and now a couple projects are suffering while I get it finished (wheels come to mind) It goes for its alignment on thursday evening. I have a local shop here I work with that lets me do the tweeking on their rack. Up next will be the wheels.... yours first Ed! Kevin, I want to see how it performs on the two tracks I frequent before I re gear it. Maybe that will be the winter project. But both tracks are very different..... Cheers

Love everything on that car. It is going to look super with the new Fuchs!
But I especially love the Alcantara covered dash... it makes it so race car... goes perfectly with the grey inserts in the Recaros. And the Prototipo without the horn button.... Love it. Great attention to details. I am sure you must be ecstatic after such a long wait! |
