I love how this is turing out!!

Little Update
 

So it's getting close now..

The last week has seen the front brakes, spindles etc done. The tubing for the brake cooling isn't on yet, but that's not far.

A lot of time has been spent ensuring the wiring harness etc is all 100% and that's almost finished now.

I had to make some decisions about gauges etc, but I think I will wait until it's finished before sharing these.

Coolers are in, and here's a shot of the front of the car.

The plan for the rest of the week is to ensure that we get wiring finalized, and hopefully the wheels on! I can't wait to see it rolling.

Beautiful car but I think it needs a few more oil coolers!

Wheels are here...

Wheels lead to rolling shell...
 

So i'm hopeless getting things to size properly and within the image restrictions...

BUT here is the car ... rolling shell now.

Wow! How did I miss this build?! Incredible! One of my favorite colors too.

Sub'd!

Awesome built, lovely details. The modern rims look sooo nice on the car

Amazing project, contrats!

Wow. Just wow.

Where did you get your dual master from....looks like Fabcar?

Its a Fabcar / Patrick part, I understand that you can buy from ebay at:

DUAL MASTER CYLINDER SYSTEM FOR PORSCHE 911 & 930 | eBay

or just call Patrick Motorsports direct I guess...

Dash is in....
 

Well most of it at least...

The wiring harness is almost complete now, and the Motec harness is almost complete as well...

I'm considering using the Motec camera system for in-car and front-bar camera angles... has anyone used this system? It seems like the logical choice seeing I'm running the Motec on the Engine...

Finally, a quick photo of the rear under-body... I'm pretty sure this gap will be filled by the engine next week.

Very nice. The entire project is very impressive. Did you have them install the complete later-style ventilation system? Or did you just fit the vents?

Needs more coolers. :D Seriously, what an amazing build and documentation. Well done and looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Very interesting rear lid. Have you decided on the grille or mesh?:eek:http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1331314403.jpg

RSR is def coming together. Looks great! Do you have an official build sheet of the project (brakes, suspension bits, etc ..)? Im curious to hear what brakes/rotors your running? Thanks.

I think I want to go with the mesh option here...

I haven't put the whole thing together yet, well I do in invoices but that's a long process to get together...

Re the Brakes - its all 993 Turbo brakes from memory, but I'll have to check to get more details.

Finalising the engine
 

Attached are a couple of pictures which show where we are upto on the engine. PM is trying to ensure that we have this 100% before we put it in. We are also trying to ensure all the other wiring and systems are in before we install the engine.

Interior shot update
 

So you can see the lifts, plus the fire suppression and part of the motec at the top....

I love the idea of those air jacks!

How about a shot of the front one?

The dash turned out really nice! Its not going to be long now. I hope to hear it fire up soon!

Turn signal is in...
 

Slowly slowly its all going back together...

Yeah- Thats overkill. But man it looks great.

Wow, my eyes played tricks on me! I thought you had some graphics added your car! Took me a sec to realize it was just the plastic protective sheet. Weird.

Any updates?

Update
 

How about a dash teaser for an update...

The car is coming together. The engine has been taking a bit of time to finalise, however the results will be worth it!

We've also been focused on another project which has meant this had been on the back burner... The other 911 project is awesome, but no where near as complex a build.

Nice!

Is it still at Patrick's? Do you have a target finish date?

It is still at Patrick's. James Patrick has been great and put up with my continued 'ideas' and 'minor' changes to make the car just 'right'. It's all the little details that make a car great... but it also takes the most amount of time!

Engine update
 

So then engine is almost there!

Good things seem to come to those who wait (sometimes) and the wait is definitely shaping up to be worth it.

Wow, just Wow!!!!

AUGH!!!!
I read this thread when it was new and have missed it till now. O how nice it's turned out!

Thanks for the encouragement... however it hasn't been needed!
I'm an absolute car fanatic and once I bought my first Porsche it was the end of me...

I got a great update today from James Patrick... I could go on, but I think the picture sums it up!

Just an amazing job. Wonderful.

beautiful, nice to build a car exactly the way you want it, damn nice

Amazing build.... Any updates??

Love how industrial everything looks with the different blacks and grays. You've done an A+ job so far, this is going to be one of the great "early 911" builds.

I was doubtful about the color, but wow! I love it! Any graphics planned? Color accents?

Update on progress
 

There are updates... I have been very slack in getting things posted. For that I'm sorry.

The engine is in, but yet to fired up. Having had the exhaust in, we thought it was sitting a bit too low, so we had new custom work done made to tuck it in a bit higher. Its also off getting coated so its black and doesn't stand out so much.

The carpet is currently being installed and the front is now all assembled.

A couple of detailed photos of the front are attached.

There has been a lot of time spent on getting the finer details just right on this. Its starting to really show and pay off.

Re the decal's questions, the decal's will be in black, with the traditional "Porsche" along the side and rear.

omG!!!!!
