Wow quiet on here these days so maybe some nice pictures of my engine may help[]

taken a lot of thinking about but I have decided on a stock build but with a few non performance upgrades like the cylinder/piston coatings forged rods etc

Still think you need to do a book Ken

this is huge labour of love and dedication needs documenting

Well as Simon is getting on well with the engine I thought I should do a bit []....so I picked up some nice new engine mounts from OPC and popped them in[]

when you get bored shout up and i will send mine down to you !

this ones taken 3 years.......Are you sure you can be without it for that long

Engine looks amazing Ken. Should you decide to drive it when finished what on earth value will you put on it? The club valuation could make interesting reading. [8|]

Just amazing Ken. That needs to go to the Porsche museum. I couldn't bring myself to fill that with fluids and take it on the road! FAAAAAR to nice!!

Exciting times new bits arriving all the time, this is a standard build so I thought I better get a new one of these

if you look around amazing what you can get[] this was less than the []cost of some used ones on Ebay

Where did you find the new AFM ? Mine is getting a bit tired and that's one of the reasons I've thought about buying a MAF/MAP setup.

got it from eBay.de bargain really only £250[]

 

[blade7]

Good find. I think ProMax used to supply them, not sure if they were new or refurbished.

 

[Kongsodoken]

back from holiday to find the clutch has arrived ..... WOW what a bargain £152.00 from amazon[]

Looks amazing Ken. Just a wee note though. You'd be better to remove the radiator with the fans etc if you are planning on putting the engine back in from the top. It's also easier with the rad out when you put the engine in from the bottom as well. I'd hate to see you dunt the fans etc with the engine on the way in.

I know that this is a regular thing with 911s currently (I did this to my 964) but Id say you've the most up to date and most intricate rebuild of a 944 I've seen. Hat's off to you fella.

Keep the pics and updates coming.

Started to fit the front bumper but lots of repair work to do first [] I quite enjoy fixing bits that can not be fixed so started with the broken bumper tab

with a bit of moulding I ended up with

needs to harden overnight then I'll trim and tidy[]

The indicators were looking a bit sorry with the silvering coming off and lots of corrosion[]

So set about adding Aluminium foil to the reflector[]

half way there[]

The final result after some cleaning []

I'm going back to the amber indicators so gave the lenses a polish and were go to go
