    Well I have made some more progress,

    -Engine was pulled and valve cover gaskets replaced (no more leaks)
    -Banana Arms replaced
    -Trunk area cleaned up all wiring/battery moved to smugglers box.
    -Alignment completed
    -Interior pieces added, Rennline
    -Rennshift 901 shifter added (still needs tweaking as 1st to 2nd is a bit tough)
    -Braile battery installed only 11lbs
    -Fan and shroud painted
    -All engine bay pieces painted/cleaned
    -Weltmeister 22mm rear sway bar
    -Turbo Front swaybar installed

    So did you paint the Fuchs black again? Can't really tell from the pic you posted. They looked great in your RSR style in your earlier posts. I have the same Braille battery in my car. It has worked out well, and it IS light.

    Good eye! Those are different Fuch's on the car 15x7 all black centers

    On another note I am pulling the interior over the winter and having it resprayed half cage installed etc.
    Everything takes so much more time then you think!

    Fan has been refinshed with high temp paint

    Time for a little update:

    I have managed to strip out the interior as I am painting the interior to give it a more raw "finished look".
    While I was in the process I thought I would refinish the trunk and gas tank to match the qaulity of the rest of the car.
    As most of you know it takes a lot of time to complete. I thought I could get this done in a month but like everything I do
    with this car it has taken double that. Here are some of the pics of the progress. Once the paint is done I am going to
    install new seats harnesses etc.

    Before and Mid way completed

    The interior has been a lot of work. Harsh chemicals and tight spaces....reminds me of college

    Once I got everything out of the interior I was surprised how clean the metal work was. No major rust
    to speak of only a couple surface areas that needed a touch up

    Here are a few of the before pics:

    Plans are to install Euro lights and chrome trim for the rest of the turn signals. Chrome Horn grills,
    Porsche Decals side and rear, Talbot Drivers mirror. The 993 mirrors have been turffed!
    Going with a Dansk RSR exhaust and a few other small touches Interior is going to be a minimalist approach.

    Well time for another update. Car is back in my garage and most of my time has gone to completing the interior.

    Name: Porsche rear seat area.jpg Views: 414 Size: 140.7 KBName: Porsche door card.jpg Views: 395 Size: 101.7 KB


    I ordered my brackets seat brackets from Wedge and they were well made other then the fact the holes did not match up
    to my OMP seats. This added a few hours of work as measurments and grinding had to take place. I wasn't a too pleased
    about this as the only reason I bought them was to save me making my own. Seats are in and all is well

    After getting most of the interior bolted in I took the car over
    to a friends shop to complete the trailing arms (again) as well as
    replace the bushings and wheel bearings.


    Suspension was bolted bolted and given a good cleaning!

    Next items on the list alignment, Dansk muffler install. Need to lengthen the mid pipe as it
    does not reach the Dansk muffler. I found out the hard way after install!! Lastly finish
    the interior and a good cleaning. Hershey is just around the corner!!
