993 GT-1 recreation project
 

Hi Guys,

I´m purchasing a 993 Gt-1 project, with some parts to build one authentic re-creation of 993 GT-1.

The guy who made the body, actually worked with the real car in Europe at that era, and have some orignal parts to create a very nice body work.

Any one are intereted to be a partner to finish this project with me?

My goal is not make money out of it, But I think some one in this business can make some good profit with it.

The project is located in Florida.

You should team up with Chuck Beck!

Beck 904 -- The Ultimate Replica

I met Chuck Beck before, he use to come to Brazil, when he built the 550 spyder replica.

that is a nice tip, I will contact him...

thanks

Where in Florida and what are you looking for? Do you need cash, technical expertise, mechanical help? Please clarify.

near Sunrise.

looking for a partner, with money and technical skill. Best would be someone involved with porsche racing stuff already.

thanks!

any one?

I love it! And would seriously be interested in the kit of body panels + drawings for tube frame to build my own GT1 replica.

Jim,

yes Kelly did a fantastic GT-1 replica but please check the differences to this one.

All dimensions is taken from a original factory race car, and factory drawings where used in the production.

We have used the front clip from a 993 Porsche, as the factory did when they produced the 25 original cars they made. This front clip was then welded together with the monocoque steel sheet metal floor on and the roll cage, just like on the factory cars.

Kelly also used a chevy V8. So it would be comparing apples to oranges.

thanks!

Wayne has the motor for this under a coffee table...

I saw it yesterday, but it´s just a bare engine, I already have 3.8 993 turbo and 996 turbo engine to choose.
But do you think Wayne would join me to make the car? That would be nice...better, it would be a honnor!

Just another note, I have the original fuel injection used on the GT-1 and GT-2 the Tagtronic 3.8, developed by Mclaren for it.

The bare engine is under the table - everything else (turbos, intercoolers, intakes, accessories) is in storage in the mezzanine. It's a complete drivetrain, including the sequential shifting transmission. It's the spare engine for the Lola racecar.

oops!
 

Sorry Wayne,

didn´t know you have the rest of the parts, I also would never guess you bought from the same person I bought the body.

Baby shoes, eh? Gonna get 'em bronzed?

What color are you thinking?

BTW.....

I hope you ordered one more wheel! ;)

The bodywork looks VERY accurate. If there was no description I would have thought the real deal.

Fun fact: from what I can gather, the real car for front turnsignals had plexiglass covers and 951 signal units behind them.

Looks like you've already got some rear suspension?

I think there are one or two in the U.S. I know of one shop that has worked on one of them, if you want I can give you their contact info, send a PM. However they are not near Florida.

This is very cool!

Take care and happy holidays!
