I love the idea of those air jacks!

How about a shot of the front one?

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
