I did some test fitting with an extra set of late model 911 rims i had sitting around in the garage on my last car before the sawzall took care of it....

These have a 52mm offset.

For the rear, the tire hit the trailing arm and the
inside of the fenderwell/trunk wall.

If the trailing arm was notched (about .5") and the fender
well/trunk area was moved towards the car centerline,
I think these would fit just fine. This approach would
be similar to how the hotrod guys "tub" a car to put
big fat tire on it without flares.

Doh! Too Funny! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I was curious to see how those rims looked on the car, never seen them on a 914. I can see that's not an option.

Yup, that's the right-front corner of it allright!

That one they cut up without the rest of us. I stopped by after work to help (it was a weekday), but the car was already in pieces. Oh well...

Brad,
now that you got cookies working and it recognizes us phone-y people,
I just have pics turned off, so I can check only the ones that matter.

640x480 is good. Its not for me.. I just recall how many people used to piss and moan about the pic sizes.

I shoot everything in 640x480.. that way I dont have to shrink them.

Check that, that feature doesn't work, even though it is available
in the profile editor.

I do need to send these parts off to you before they get tossed in the trash by one of my co-workers (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)



If you think I spell bad, wait till you hear me trying to pronounce your name, LOL

I like the pic of the rust free front trunk floor.
Jeroen, I just installed that piece and it wasn't "too" bad to put in. (just a few burns from laying on my back welding)

L8Apex, I looked at your update pics. Looks like you have some work to do in the engine bay. How much rust in the engine shelf??

Err, there isn't a ton of rust. Good thing this is a race car and not a show car. I just welded a piece of stainless steel to cover all that rusty metal up. It's not as bad as it looks. there isn't any structural rust, which would really cause problems.
