Nice cage and doors!
Rich

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:

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!

Off topic, but I just unpacked a box for my dad. A set of 46mm Webers.

They look like pure gold imho:

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.

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 :)

Other small things done.

The two holes where the fuel filler connection goes through the fender are closed - welded from the inside and sealed:

Thanks, Michael!

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 :)
