Derek and Bryce over at "OCD Customs" are doing an excellent job on the metal work.

Looks like they picked the perfect name for their shop, i can clearly see the OCD in their work!

^ That looks like nice work!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

See if they can add a way to close off the front of the new rocker, behind the wheel. Might save you some rust (or at least extra baggage in the form of leaves and rocks) down the road.

This is a cool project! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

If you can, I suggest driving it for a while with the stock motor. Far too many people buy the car and yank the drivetrain out first thing; they never get to drive it. Even the ones who finish the swap never get to enjoy the car the way it was originally designed, as a low-powered momentum-preserving grin machine.

Try it, you may like it...

Sorry these photos aren't in chronological order. Some are from the dismantling I did 2 years ago and some are from today. Trunk is coming together. There was quite a bit of rust and some crash damage too.

I've driven them both before. Almost bought Scott from renegade hybrids Orange peal a few years back. I drove a stock 1.7 machine too. They were both great! I like anything with an engine. I understand the idea of keeping things the way they were envisioned from the original idea. I like the idea of building unique things too. It's all conrods and poppet valves to me. Imagine a world without the Cobra. The car could easily be put back to all Porsche if anyone ever wanted to.

the car was more of a basket case than I originally thought

Attached Image

Car was placed on an exceptionally big heavy welding table and leveled. They added fixtures for all the critical points, suspension, engine mount, wheel hub etc...and started cutting out the bad. Thankfully the replacement metal that is not offered as new pieces (engine mount, and outer suspension console) were in good shape. Those were sent off to the sandblaster and positioned with the new metal. Challenger now is to get the inner wheel house piece into place and weld it all back together again. Thanks for looking!

You already know this but:
That is a series of repairs done right! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
Looks like someone is having fun building that car.
Keep the pics coming - we can't wait to see this one as you bring it back to life.
