I didn't as well! But I have to say that I am very pleased with the result.

Concerning the brake system, I will have a servo assisted system as the car is supposed to be used in tarmac with rear refurbished standard 3.2 calipers and front four piston Brembo calipers:

Shocks are Bilstein, re-valved for tarmac rally use.
The original suspension configuration will be kept but upgraded with new hard bushes and bigger torsion bars.

At the rear suspension, mono-balls were fitted:

Love to see this build here Alex. Makes my RallyCross (USA) build seem somewhat pathetic. Keep posting, the more details the better.

What do you have planned for wheels? Sen. Sainz is using our BRAID BZ. Give my amigo Evandro a call there. He'll take care of you. He's from Portugal too. SmileWavy

Good luck.

re: duck tail, how fast will your rally be?

also, are you worried about collecting rust-promoting debris in the gaps for the torsion bar weld-ups?

Thanks for you Nice words.
I am planning to buy some Braid (16x7 + 16x8). I cannot buy it now but latter I will do it. I also saw Sainz on the classic rally - Nice car and nice result for Porsche!

I will contact Evandro when I contaçt Braid. Many thanks for he suggestion.

With the gear set I will use, maximum speed will be around 190 km/h. Yes, I believe the duck tail will have some important role. At the same time, I have to admit that one of the reasons was the "classic look"...

Regarding your second comment, (Sorry for my por English), I believe you are talking about the weldings around the threads on the torsion bar tube... (???). All the weldings were done for stiffening purposes, if that is what you talking about...

yes, the welded pieces - dirt & debris can get in those cracks, so you might want to stick some sealer in there

Also started to assemble the brake system and pedal box:

Ok, I understand.

At the same time, I have to say that after each event the cars are washed and dry with blown air to clean every dirt and grease on the chassis.

In my opinion, following this procedure on each event, I prevent a lot o future trouble.

definitely a good idea - we will all look forward to seeing some pics of the car in full flight

... and I really hope it happens soon... :)

Meanwhile, this project had to slow down a bit, because I had to finish another car that is already sold.

A few little developments:

Gear stick from Wevo is already installed...

A few more developments on this project.

An issue with the brake upgrade that was supposed to be a bolt in solution, needed up being a time waster while other things could have been assembled...

Never mind...
Basically some more interior had been assembled.

Wow that is looking really impressive Alex!

very nice, keep posting progress!

I'm curious about your painting on the bottom.

Since it will be hit by lots of rocks did you use an epoxy paint?

Or powder coating? I've heard that powder coating is hard but chips and is then difficult to repair.

What went into your thinking on the paint or treatment for the bottom of the car?

Thank you all for your comments.

Gearya, this is a car to be used in tarmac. In tarmac rallys there is not so much agression from rocks or dust.

The bottom was painted with a black chassis paint for extra protection, over epoxy paint. All the rest was painted with normal paint including the wheel arches where I like to show all the reinforcements done.

Doors ready. Very pleased with the result
