RS rep to RSR rep
In 2005 I purchased this rs lightweight rep.
It was built by Tony Outridge of the now defunct company-Porschon. It's built on a 74 chassis, and was featured in G T Porsche at the time.
After three years of using the car, I decided to convert to rsr rep. First job was bodywork,which turned into a bit of a nightmare. The first attempt was not to successful,here's a couple of photo's,
Notice the bad paint match in first photo,and badly shaped rear arch in next photo. These were just a couple of the faults,there were many more.
Anyway,had car stripped back to bare metal to sort out the problems. Will show results later.

Apologies.
It looks like a bag o'sh***. I'd not be seen dead in it. Stupid RHD fake.

Car is now with Mike Bainbridge, having engine fitted.The engine was rebuilt by Ernest Schlaepfer,the same guy that built this 962- http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2694313.htm.
The engine is a 2.8 rsr spec,built on unnumbered new old stock 7r mag cases.There are also quite a few original rsr parts on this build, high throttle bodies,centre lube mag cam covers and centre lube rsr cams,large port correct rsr heads,grenade full race oilfilter. Mahle rsr pistons and cylinders and Carrillo rods.
Mike has changed the existing pivots on the throttle shaft for original high butterfly linkage towers,also fitted wire holders to plug cables.
Will post photo's of installation later.
