Overdue intro

[H-viken]

I like that brown color, but don't think it goes well with chromed parts. Think black parts will work better with it. For ex you could change out the rims to the headlights with some matt black ones (similar to the 964 RS).

Looks like a really nice car, looking forward to see what you do with it. What color will the interior be?

Thanks, I actually have the proper trim rings alreay done in Wurth satin black. They will eventually go back on. As far as the interior is concerned I have RS door panels in blk and a grey perlon kit. Recaros are black as well so I think the interior will bemave those general colors

Here is my hand formed SCRS style mirrors, actually had a proper test fit and bracket mounts all set up today. Work is going alot slower than I was hoping for, but at lest things are getting done. Sorry for the poor pictures. I have some one off work that will be added to the project also. Stay tuned

Slow going progress, but have spent some time chasing some small surface rust areas out from under the front and rear end bumper mounting areas. Alls I can say is definitely check those areas thoroughly either prior to driving season (soon) or make a winter project out of it. Particularly where the charcoal vapor collector and the window wash reservoir sits!

Also built some sturdy mounts for the TRE front airdam, will post some pics soon!

I still have a ton of parts available that I will not be using PM me with any needed interioir or front/rear bumper parts! I have a virtually spotless smiley I know someone needs!

So finished up the front end AC removal and welded up the holes. Sorry for the bad pics. Will post the TRE airdam with the nerf style mount I built in the next few days hopefully all in place.... things are going alot slower than I was hoping for and as always there never seems to be an end, just when you think you are done you find something else you can improve!
Test fit



Ready to tack



tacked now ready to fine tune



buttoned up and skim coat applied. epoxy prime and hit with sks.

Hopefully alot more to come soon! Its getting too warm to still be working on it and not driving!

Ah, Sepia Brown...looks good when kept up. Nice looking ride.

It's never finished BTW.....you just run out of money temporarily.

[brol]

Epoxy primed...




Undercoating next. Its the little things that make the biggest difference, the AC system has been officially deleted.

Thats not Sepia...

Nice work anyway.. looks like you've been plenty busy on that car "you decided to do nothing to for a couple of years." Doesn't take much to get started!

What's the story with all the old Bimmers in the background?

[jasonlee]

Nice car, and welcome. I like the colour, looks to be Rosewood Metallic. Same colour as mine, so I am a bit biased. I too wasn't going to do anything for a while. I am past that now and enjoying the ride down the slippery slope. Enjoy.

[brol]

Haha. The color is suppose to be "bitter chocolate" a factory porsche color. I don't mind about the color, that will be changing shortly too! Like I said originally it was just goin to be a full interior resto, now well the plans are moving right up!

The BMWs in the background are mostly 2002s there are a few other rarer models kicking around. The shop is Sports Car Restoration Plainville, CT premier restoration shop for all things vintage BMW, and building quickly on Porsche. My friend Matt McGinn (owner) graciously allows me to work on my car and intern work on the rest of the line up. Check em out at sports-car-restoration.com

[brol]

So taking way too long to make any serious progress, but heres where Im at....

I must ad this was my first official patch, let alone a bend to match patch. Again, thanks to all my friends at SPORTS-CAR-RESTORATION for their continued guidance and allowance to grovel, while working off my internship with sanding and continuing to be the "unofficial, official coffee biooootch".


Front AC delete, AC we dont need no stinking AC.



Nerf bar for under the TRE airdam bad pic


Windows all coming from fellow pelicanite techweenie (rear and quarter lexan and straps)

Muffler arrived from fellow pelicanite Lufeco, swapping parts is cool! The muffler may cause the front end of my car to raise 3-4 inches but I bet it will sound amazing!

Yep and to think just in Nov. the plans where to get it in the shop to clean up the beat up interior......

[brol]

And the rear bumper fitting, much less time Im getting better at this!
Bumper shock delete, straight to a more classic race style mount.


nice tight fit





Hopefully the next pics I post will have some serious progress!

By the way, anyone know where I could find one of these great looking 917 style shift knobs?

[brol]

OK....... SO I havent been around in a while.



Without further delay



Here she is



She is done

Nice! Where's the aero side mirrors?

[brol]

Nice! Where's the aero side mirrors?

Still in work. I haven't bothered finishing them yet. They are complete as a shell just need to paint and install. I'm not sure I want to put holes in the doors. Haha

[ratpiper71T]

Come on bro-sky, only on little far away pic? Color change up close, and interior and mechanicals... Pretty please...
