Knee pads I believe.....there's another Einmaliig joke in there some place.

BTW, dC automotive and the PP poster "Unobtanium" are decent sources for early stuff as well as the guys on the Early S board.

Good luck on the project.....

[crashtest22]

lol yeah knee pads sounds about right...
I checked out DC and damn they have lots

[crashtest22]

Well, car is at bodyshop getting the repair stuff done.

[crashtest22]

and some more...
the repair on the chassis is quite extensive.

[crashtest22]

Well....
We got the chassis back a while ago but other projects have put this one in the barn.

Got it in the shop now till our engine comes back for the Alfa Monoposto.
Have been welding in the reinforcements from Elephant and general clean up.

The rear torsion tube where the spring plate bolts up had been previously ground down too far for it to work with the new reinforcement welded in so we had to build it back up to get the spacing for the arms.
That was a pita.

We decided to go with:
Elephant Monoballed front arms
Bilstiens re-valved for the 22 29 bars
Rear alum banana arms from later car with Elephant monoballs and Wevo EZ pins
Elephant RSR Style bars with new rear mounts

The gearbox with the stock ZF LSD was rebuilt by Jerry Woods
I think I am just going to do a top end refresh/reseal on the engine and call it a day.

So once all this gets mocked up and fitted it will come back apart and go back to body for paint then we put it back together....

[crashtest22]

well car is now back at body shop for paint

Teaser of the new paint

WOW looking good.

I have a AC dealer install kit that has most parts minus some of the hoses..
I'm always wiling to trade or sell.

[crashtest22]

It's been a process for sure.
We have other cars that are always at some state of work so this poor girl has taken way longer than expected.

Just got word this am that the car is ready for me again.
Going to be doing the wiring next week.
Still trying to decide on how to do it.
Leaning toward Deutsch autosport and dtm with tefzel wire but have not figured it out
also need to give the engine a once through.
Gearbox has been rebuilt by Jerry Woods

[crashtest22]

I have been slacking at posting and building this car back up.
So its now back on the rack.
I am in the process of figuring out what needs to be bought, rebuilt, or refurbished.
So far I have started at the front.
Having a new harness built by a member here
Just finished rebuilding the steering rack and got that back in.
lots of parts on order from Porsche

[1100sport]

Very nice work - looking foward to the finished product

[crashtest22]

snapped a few pics today
waiting for a bunch of parts from Porsche which are coming in tomorrow.
Have all the parts to finish rebuilding the steering column and the pedal box

[crashtest22]

1 piece at a time.
Just finished rebuilding the steering column and pedal box.
found out that when the spacers were installed on the steering gear for bump steer they used a shorter inter shaft so in my attempt to assemble the steering it came up a half inch short.
the shaft is 14.5 inch instead of 15 inch.

[crashtest22]

been a while but have had some progress.
have rebuilt the motor into a 3.2 Short Stroke, got wiring back from timmy2, and various other things done.
