    My 911R-inspired car

    I decided to start a new thread with a few photos of my 911R-inspired early 911.

    The car is far from finished but it made it to Classic Le Mans & back & I managed to shoot a few pictures today - apologies for the background...



















    Things still to do:

    'Tweek' centre-fill cap so that the fin is perfectly at rightangles to the screen

    Swap the current high-compression 2.7RS-spec engine to my 2.8 twin-plug

    Fit my recently-found 911R exhaust

    Tidy up the metal dash & grp dashtop

    Fit & wire up the twin Bosch pull switches (for the CDI boxes) & dash-mounted horn push

    Lower suspension & set camber/caster/toe etc...

    The background is not bad. Very industrial. No apolgies for what it is. Just like the car!

    As long as the car in NOT in the dumpster it's ok!

    Beautiful work. Keep the photos coming.

    Best,

    Tom

    Side oil cap.

    Hello: Is your side oil cap functional. If so what oil tank did you use? Your car is looking great. I hope mine will look that good some day. Thanks Eric

    Yes, Eric, my external oil cap is functional - I used a '72 oil tank.

    Thanks for the compliments Bob - it never would have happened at all without your input/help/inspiration.

    I took the wheels to one of the top Fuchs refurbishers here in the UK & told him that I wanted a matt/'frosted' finish on the whole wheel with the exception of the extreme outer portion of the rim which I wanted polished (all prior to anodising) & this is the finish he came up with - approximately what I wanted.

    I wasn't totally happy with the finish but maybe I was expecting them to be perfect - I think I should have had them done in the States...
