Hey christian
Very nice build, and i am excited how it will look when its done. Mounting some lightweight doors is on my wishlist since years. Very cool. But i noticed something at your roll cage. The strut under the roof looks a little bit twisted, or is it just the picture? :confused: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1375032007.jpg |
Hey Rob
Thank you. It will be good when done! The doors are really nice. I am exited to see them painted. I see your point. And it scared me ;) I checked once the cage got back from the powder coating. All straight! /Christian Quote:

I bought a set of the first generation big 930 brakes in the US. I still need to clean and check the calipers. But the discs went to my brake guy to have a small layer taken off. They are very straight and look great now:

Off topic, but I just unpacked a box for my dad. A set of 46mm Webers.
They look like pure gold imho: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1375599583.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1375599592.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1375599596.jpg |
Great work; money well spent.
But please: cover your beautiful steering wheel ore use an old ragged one during all that nasty work. Would be a pity if it gets spoiled! |
Hey Christian,
I have been following your progress and admiring your build for quite a while. I think that you have some '78-80 1/2 front 930 floating rotors. Have you got the hats as well? What size wheel rims are you contemplating? Just wondering as I have modified a full set myself to fit 16" Fuchs on a 3.2 based build. Skål |
Hey Uwon
Yes you are just right. I have the hats as well. I just took then off when the discs were beeing cleaned. I will run 8 and 9 X 15" Fuchs. And I am also planning for a set of 9 and 10 X 15" Minilights :) Quote:

Yes, the car is at the painter right now. I am very exited to hear/see about the process and of course the final result :) Ja, jeg håber at være klar til foråret. Så vil den være et fast indslag! |

I have installed 930 brakes and rotors on a 3.2 Carrera and I don't think that I could have put 15" rims on the front. In my case there less than 10mm between the outside of the caliper and the inside of the 930 16" Fuch rim. Also, I had to put in a 6mm spacer to clear the spokes for the fronts. If it does not fit, you may have to cut down the diameter of the rotor on the lathe and reposition the caliper holes vis-à-vis the mounting ears on the hub. Your build keeps inspiring me. My build is co-incidentally also at the paint shop at this moment, albeit its not such an ambitious restoration as yours. |
First pictures from the painter! More should come next week :)

Nice car.. in Denmark, of all places! :-) SSI used to be a few blocks away until this Danish company came and bought up John's business, but I am flying over there in a week or two. All the way out in Viborg, but has anyone visited the showroom ? It would be nice to see if they used the same tooling and have the same quality (unless they shipped it all off to China) I want to bring back a pair of heat exchangers for a 72 3.6 EFI project.. and maybe some door pockets from another source over there. I am bringing a couple of f 72 Chevelle parts over for a cousin, so already in courier mode.
