Got off my ass today...

Took off the left front fender

Here she is... brand spanking new factory piece (that's factory primer)
Tried to get it off with as little mutilation as possible

Next, I build a doorbrace. It bolts in nicely

Next thing that had to go...

(before shot)

3 grinding disks later

Here's why you don't need a rear shock tower brace...

The rear fire wall is double wall

Whatcha makin'?

Is that a Heinekin in the trunk?

Whad I'm makin'
Hmmm... Hopefully a semi tube frame race car, should be done by the end of this millenium

And yes, that's a Heineken... I thought I deserved one after todays work

cheers,

Jeroen

Good, I love race cars and Hienekin's, too.

What's next?

Keep the photos coming!

Factory original body panels on a tube frame racer? oh dear.

Is that like "Lions and tigers and bears oh my?"

I was wondering why you would cut all of that out of there. What engine you going to put in there? 4? 6? 8? Gimme some details.

Hey....

I'm very interested to see sketches or photos for how you are going to reinforce that section of the trunk again....

I'm probably going to do something similar to my car in order to fit the intercooler.

Cool stuff - good work! Did you keep the motor from you 911 (rip) to put in there??

Fiid.

Engine will be a completely rebuild euro 3.0 Carrera with 40mm carbs

Fiid, I did the rear bracing already on my previous rustbucket (before found this less rusted bucket)

Check my website for more pics (of old rustbucket) and sketches (see button below)

cheers,

Great work. You really find out how they put these things together.

Here's a better pic...

Is that actually lighter than what was there before :-) ??

I gots to gets me somes of thats. Looks way cool, and gives me lots of space for turbos, intercoolers and fastness :-)

Fiid.

That fender came OFF the car



Maybe not much, but there will be more sheetmetal cut out
And if not lighter, it will be a heck of a lot stronger

cheers,

Jeroen

Bout damn time you got goin' on that thing.
So......it'll be ready next spring, eh????

Turn about is fair play, no?

I'll bet ya I have it painted before you do (that means ONE color, no primer)

cheers,

Jeroen

Get things ready so we can do some welding when I visit NEXT month. I'll buy the beer if you buy the patat!
