Building a 400bhp+ 2.5 ltr 944 Turbo

Looking good Pete, be interesting to see how they do the satin black on the doors.

When I had my car resprayed, they did the entire door body colour as well, so I don't have the satin black between the quarter window and door window either.

Looks like the chap in the picture is having fun refitting the door cards. :ROFLMAO:

Yes...no fun playing with door cards. I would guess that spraying the satin black shouldn't be an issue. I'll report back if any problems.
 
I can ask Paul, looks similar to the one discussed in your thread this picture may help identify the make.

Yes ask Pete, and if they would recommend having one at home. Are you going to have the rubbing strips refitted too?
 
Latest on the car, this week it had its professional deep clean with last parts reassembled. Plan is to pick it up next Friday depending on the weather. Can't do it sooner as Wednesday and Thursday I have some medical appointments to attend, one of which is very important after an eye op. Ollie the painter wants to spend Monday and Tuesday giving one final polish. Oh and Not sure if I mentioned this but Ollie is a top award winning paint technician, talk about landing on my feet....🙂
No pictures of the car today but can show where she will live. This is the carport that I'm building, frame is up, levelled and anchored to the floor. This weekend ( depending on westher) I plan to install the roof cladding and then cover in felt. The area needs a good clean and the picket fenching finnished, later I plan to cover the ground with type 1 gravel

Sorry guys can't get the image to post from my phone, will try with laptop over weekend...cheers

Ah...weather?...Its always a worry Paul...living on a hill it can get a bit breezy...for example I had some fence repairs to do today after the strong winds last night...bet they are stronger in your neck of the woods though...🙂 it's well anchored but you can't beat nature....here's to no mishaps...🙃

It's worse than that...it's the new owner decided he needed more room for his carport, moved the picket fence over to give that room. Undecided on the floor, probably gravel it, I've always liked classic cars sitting on gravel driveways....🙂🙂

Use coarse gravel, someone I worked with put the fine stuff down, and the local cats started using it as a big litter tray 😁.
 
Well that is all very nice but have you ever considered upgrading to an S2 or at least a late 250bhp turbo? 😁
