Parts search!!!

Over the past few months I've gathered some necessary pieces to get this heap moving in some point. Getting the rear wheels has proved to be most challenging, and I ended up getting slightly too new edition of 6'' fuchs instead of the old 901-series. But for now these 2 911-series wheels will have to do. I'm sure that most people don't know the difference between the models but for the "period fuckers"(pilkunnussijat - muhahahhhaaaa) it is evident mistake. Well, when you're doing 160 and 6k on your tacho, I'm sure it is the last thing you need to worry about! :)



Some technical aspects have also come together. Got a Porsche cooling kit from a local enthusiast Vilho, less the fan but I'm currently working on it. Heads came from JP-motorsport in Sweden, and also got a brand spanking new SCAT killer dry sump case from US. The heart of the engine ie. crank is still a bit of a mystery since SCAT doesn't seem to make them every day. Getting one needs a preorder and takes about 2-3 months to be completed. That seems like a long wait even though I'm not really in a hurry... Thinking currently on a All T4 journal 86mm flange crank. Let's see how this works in the end.

Even more metal swap!

Decided to swap both of the heater channels. They weren't too shabby but since the A-post bottom pieces were totally gone it sort of made sence to also change the channels. One good thing that came out of it was a perfect fit with those aftermarket floorpans. No grinding necessary what so ever!! And they are light as feather! ;) After test fitting the doors I was pretty sure that the channels were in the zone and welded them all the way. As for the A-posts, I had a NOS piece for the right hand but for the left it surely was a pain to get it right. I ended up using half of a repro piece and half of a 50's donor piece... Not sure why thes companies end up doing panels that just don't fit? Maybe Wolfparts is doing us all a big favour now...



After getting the welding and grinding done for most of the front end, I painted the bare metal parts with Zink paint to stop immediate corrosion. My carage mates have had some good experieces with this stuff so why change the formula? ;)
