I found a picture of a 3.2 in stock form and like the way it looks. I asked Scotty to use this picture as the model for my engine finishes. Although mine will have the guards red engine shroud.

Very nice. I removed some very colorful powder coat on mine and tried to get it pretty clean. I'd like my fan strap to be gold again, Remember that our engines are turned 180 and sunk down in the engine bay, so unlike the 911's, not that much of the engine shows once it's in the car. But I can appreciate you wanting it to look right.

A gallon of guards red should be enought to paint the shroud. I know what to do with the extra....

Hi Mark: Yeah, I still want it to look nice even though the fan is against the firewall. Scotty did tell me that a gallon should cover the shroud, I thought that was a little excessive, but I see what is going on now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Scotty had a chance to get the lower valve covers machined down. Came out nice.

Here is what the engine is starting to look like. Scotty just set the injection, etc., on it to get an idea of how it will look. All that stuff will be bead blasted so it looks nice and fresh.

I am glad we went with the guards red for the engine shroud.

Timely post. I got a pair of turbo VC's yesterday. So, are the ribs machined down even with the height of the top of the holes for the mounting studs?

Yes that is how I do them. Some people only machine the area that interferes with the suspension. I feel it looks better ( more stock ) to take the whole thing down to the same height. I did Mark's the same way.

I've gotten quite a bit more than this done lately I just haven't been on line much lately to post pics. I should have more up by mid week. Look for updates on Mark's car as well (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

I guess that I am not smart enough to figure out what the loop modification on the rear of the trailing arms is for. Or what the bottom picture is for that matter (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

However, beautiful work as usual! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

Michael wanted some substantial tow "eyes"/tie downs in the event the car ever needs to be pulled out of a canyon (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) The bottom pic is the front of the car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

OHhhhhh, I guess you mean the piece I welded ? That was the air diverter on the backside of the alternator. THey have a habit of breaking

Scotty - Thanks for posting up some pictures. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Yup - Just some "D" rings in the event the car is towed somewhere..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) hopefully not. But I figured since we are stripping and refinishing the trailing arms, why not add the "D" rings. I think Scotty did a great job of making them fit the contours of the trailing arm.

I could also use them to mount some neon lights under the car so they glow while cruising down the street (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) ....well, no.

Excellent idea!!! Any similar plans for tow points on the front? I don't like the idea of them chaining to the triangular of the control arms. I have had to have my car towed a few times. The first couple, I didn't pay much attention and they mangled my rear triangles where the donuts are.

Carry on... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Yes, we will be adding something similar to the front to hook to in the unlikely event we need to tow/tie down the car.

Not to highjack but since the subject has come up.....quick question on the 930 valve covers.....do the ribs need to be machined to fit on a stock -6? Are the genuine Porsche VCs the only ones to go with?
