First drive. Two year build.

Just thought I would see if you are interested in my backdate project. This is the first movement under its own power for two years. And the first Porsche I have done.

Thanks to the Pelican Forum for all the answers to many questions!

Nothing beats the classic look of a long hood. That thing is pour sex. What motor is in it?

Wow Thanks guy's.
Lot's of inspiration from other's here on Pelican went into it. I still have a few things to do like the wipers and the mirrors.

It's running a fresh rebuilt 3.2, 915 and quaife lsd.
Coilovers all round, 964 cup car top mounts.
Adjustable brake bias
and the usual upgrades with steering, bushes, swaybars etc etc.......

I plan to do alot of ks ( miles ) in the car so am looking forward to getting it all sorted and complied for the street.

Regards

Alex

LOL Yeah I think the wife wanted to hug it also as she can now finally have a little bit of room for her car.

You wait till you have that beast you are building all sorted and I bet you will be grinning from ear to ear aswell. I have been following your build with baited breath as to what you are doing next! It is way cool and I really love he personal touches.

Regards

Alex
ps: I hope you noticed it wasn't raining here..... again!
