Thumbs up Luftgekühlt & Pelican Partner for Special Build Project

Luftgekühlt - An Air-Cooled Porsche Enthusiast's Dream Event, 4/10/16, Los Angeles
**Location announced - It's Modernica - just south of downtown LA!** Click HERE for details.

That's right! The Luftgekühlt team is building their first-ever project car and Pelican is proud to support the effort with components and tech assistance! A combination of OE and performance aftermarket products will be installed as the build takes shape and we'll cover every moment so make sure to subscribe to this thread! The final result will amaze you - we know we're excited!

In this build thread we'll detail the installation of key components from:
  • RENNLINE
  • WEVO
  • ROTHSPORT
  • PMB
  • CLEWETT
  • SWEPCO
The subject car is rust-free, straight, extremely clean, well-cared for and ready to evolve:

A large amount of the work will take place under the guidance of Joey Seely of e-motion engineering. You may know Joey as Project Nasty's owner and builder. Upon initial delivery to e-motion, the engine, trans and suspension are removed:




As the build continues, the car will receive very special fab work starting with this beautiful cage:




Our Porsche specialist, Casey Gervig, gets a close look at the progress along with Joey on a recent visit:








The outgoing tired suspension will be replaced with lighter and stronger components:




So much more to come, this is just the beginning, so stay tuned as we update this thread with coverage of specific component installation/fabrication, video and plenty of detailed pictures!
