993 to 901

Off the rotisserie and setting up for panel supports and glass work to fix up the fitment issues with the panels from GT Racing.
The bonnet they supplied is really good and will only require a small amount of prep prior to painting. The front spilitter and rear quarters require major surgery.
I need to make a decision on what mirrors to run soon.
Any suggestions?
Period photos I have of these cars shows quite a bit of variation.

Is it rude to ask why these panels are a bad fit and have the pieces missing that you require. Seems a little odd but was it for a reason?

[Paul Ford]

I guess if you were grafting these onto a car that had existing steel guards it wouldn't be a problem.
My panel guy loves fiberglassing and has fixed things up pretty well.
I think he's going to take some moulds off these.
He's also christened the car Beyoncé after his other favourite buxom babe.

Beyoncé's bum is looking a bit smoother.

Hi Fordy ,just sharing the passion with you on this build,must have good tradies working there ,hmm, to whom do the blue joggers belong that are parked at the garage door ?

[Paul Ford]

Nice to see you back on the Forum Rotten.
Jason mentioned he was bringing you out of retirement to help.
I see you are still non compliant with OH&S regs and prefer to work barefoot.

Thanks for the welcome
had to pay my own member fees this time
I am compliant with all regs but interpretation is occasionally biased in my favor
started some work on my lightweight recently as heath has improved
and considering upload of a few pics of the build for the forum, there seemed to be some interest in it some years back

[Paul Ford]

Start a thread on the lightweight project.
It will generate a lot of interest.
I'm sure the race car brigade would also be interested in the "Duck"

[Paul Ford]

Rear Quarters grafted on and primed.
Just have to strip and prep the doors and we'll be ready to paint.

[Paul Ford]

Getting there. A little bit more every day!

Nice one mate!

It's looking so good I'm seriously thinking about cutting the cage out and speeding up the transition back to being a road car.

Hence the need for the rear seats ?

Decisions, decisions, decisions.
