Interesting, almost 50/50 on left and right but not one for the middle option...

Re: Pretty in Purple
So doors back together and water membrane fitted.
And then a start on interior refit.
Right got the vote...
A few other custom touches.

Re: Pretty in Purple
Left one for me, lovely build Jon.
I'm intrigued with the Elephant racing ASP rear suspension.
You fitted it to your turbo RSR backdate if I remember correctly.
How did you find the handling? Do you think its as good, or better
than a car with turbo trailing arms?
I was too slow posting the left,right,middle but it looks great.
Cheers.
Andy

Re: Pretty in Purple
Another thread I should bring up to date.
With the car beginning to look complete, but as we know that last 20% takes more like 40% of the time
I always like adding the new badge to a project.
A decision was made on the wheels.
Even a matching umbrella

Re: Pretty in Purple
With the car nearly assembled turned to the engine, a standard 3.2 lump with some dubious tinware.
This had deliberately been left until late in the project to see what the budget would allow.
With every other area of the car now looking so fresh, the customer felt the engine needed to be brought up to the same level.
So we obliged
Still a 3.2 but with 964 cams, lightweight flywheel and clutch, SSIs, GT style back box, Rasant throttle body conversion and Motec ECU, inlets, fan etc colour coded to the wheels and decals.

Short video clip here of it running.

Re: Pretty in Purple
Superb! But having experienced your RSR-alike, I'm not surprised!
