Flares....

[Darren65]

Elsewhere I've read that the RS's were supplied with two whale tails as the Group 4 tail wasn't road legal and a standard length spoiler came with the car for road use....not certain if that's truly correct but having a standard tail to hand we prepped it to hang on the wall ....

It was also pointed out that I stupidly forgot to dry fit front lenses to the front bumper before prepping it, a big mistake on a fibreglass part!

So, a little research of original cars....











....which confirmed no two were exactly the same!

All now sorted...

Meanwhile Nick has installed ARP head studs, measured barrels and pistons and set ring gaps etc along with giving the cylinders a little ventilation for windage ....








....will give this serious detail the update it deserves in due course

Nick also recommended Partsklassik for ignition whom I'm told are the preferred choice for most major Porsche specialists and we'll be using their circuit boards inside my 8-pin CDI boxes along with using their coils etc https://www.partsklassik.com ...

Head lining about to be fitted! ....

...and did I mention about the car on its wheels?...

[Darren65]

No big deal in the grand scheme of things but a magic day for me and it's been a long time coming! ....

[Darren65]

...excuse the safari ride height, we'll work on that!

[Darren65]
