My 'new longer-term project' ...

Post by hot66 »

Very nice Andy. Worth all. Hard work :)

On a practical level, what's the ventilation like with such a cosy cabin?

Andy that is simply gorgeous, I love the detail and best of all the exhaust staining on the rear valance...don't clean it tooo often.

Thanks for all of the positive comments - however, please feel free to make any criticisms too - either here or when you see the car in the flesh.

There are certainly things that I'm not entirely happy with & that I'd do differently if I was starting again.

I totally agree with that Graham & I realise that I've not sung Barrie's praises highly enough - he's very laid back in terms of promoting himself & his skills (although he doesn't really need to since I think he has 6 or more 904 builds in the pipeline ...) - hopefully this will be redressed to a small degree in a future magazine article ... :wink:

- there's certainly heat transfer from the engine through the rear bulkhead but I've not really driven the car enough (& certainly not in 'hot' weather) to find out whether this becomes uncomfortable. I think it would only become a problem if stuck in trafic for any length of time - or somewhere hotter like Sicily ... :iconbiggrin:

Ok, looks $hit! People who build replicas are just fakes and people who own them even worse. :evil:

Gosh, that's a pretty car Andy. It looks fabulous in the photos and - I'm guessing - even more special (and diminutive) amongst modern traffic.
Wonderful. 8)

Totally and utterly beautiful. How's it feel just sitting and looking at it? Driving it?

Wonderful work Andy. And so much more than the sum of it's parts... the impressive result of your considered & thoughtful approach to every little detail. Bravo! :cheers:

The orange nose band will look smart IMHO. I've always assumed that was to identify similar 904's on circuit, is that so or was it a team thing?
