What an offer!!!!!, I would love to but il most probably be working elsewhere. the next few months are pretty hectic at the workshop. We have events at Porto,nurburg, silverstone gp support race this wend etc then the only weekend off i have Jae with s12oc.

i will have a double check on the calender anyway.


Im glad to hear that prep work isnt too much on the panels. I really get stuck for time. what did you do with the original rear arches. Did you cut them right out?. Id rather not have a fibreglass panel over the top of the original.

I left the original panel under, but cut away around the wheel arch for tyre clearance, I took the easy option, because had I removed the original panel, or sections of it, then I would have still needed something to seal the inside of the car from the dust, dirt and tyre smoke. I might not seem much of an issue when you have panel trims inside the rear of the car and in the boot, but our is gutted and you can see the original panels from inside the car, although I suppose you could remove the panel and then fabricate a new inner arch...
Looks wise it doesnt matter either way.... time wise it is quicker to leave it in place.... weight wise... the back is already too light...

Depends how much time you have I suppose...

Don't want to sell it either, but the original deal was that we would build a cheap race car for my brother to drive as he didn't dare to drive the porsche.
It was supposed to be cheap... but ended up going 3 times over the budget, and now he won't drive this one either!
So she is for sale... and the money will go into getting the 6R4 running....

Wouldn't like to see the R32's or S13's you can get for 5800 GBP. Although, as far as S12's go that is bit steep fro UK tastes, even though it is a mint example.

Nice first post . It is not even in a direct answer to a discussion or question.

You might be right...

I could always break it up.

20 000 kr for the wheels and tyres.
30 000kr for the engine
10 000kr for the seats and belts
10 000kr for the roll cage (fitted)
10 000kr for the bodykit (fitted and painted)
10 000kr for the dash display

The rest of the stuff comes for free! Building the car.... no charge.
