T.C.

another but in warmer confines

Didn't know you were gone?



T

You,,,, just like the rest of us, are a sick, sick man. With any luck, you should have your 914 running sometime around the year 2025.

HAY!!
Lookin' good. Someone put some time/money/planning/effort into that thing.....near as I can tell from the few pics (hint,hint).

What class are you gonna build for?

If you build it up like you describe that will absolutely be a blast!

Fantastic TC, welcome back to Teener World....

Can wait to see this project finished.... Paul will finally have someone to race against...

Did you get that car off of ebay? It looks really nice; she does need a twin-plug 2.8

No, I bought it from a Pelican F/S post. I had talked to the seller 6 months ago and then pulled the trigger now that transport was worked out. Rob, been asleep on the board? I drove the URY Lightweight 3 weeks ago. I saw your car at BugJam, but didn't see you or Steve.

T.C.

i swear i saw that car on ebay a while ago....and i think it was in NJ..where did you transport it from?

Looking good T.C...........................welcome back.

I did pick it up in New Jersey, near Atlantic City. I don't know if the seller had it on eBay, but he had for a few years.

T.C.

My 3rd new to me car in the last 3 weeks. I must stop this madness.

T.C.

Please tell me I'm not crazy.

i think you need a bigger garage TC. Nice P1800. Based on your signature these are your only three toys? Thats not too bad.

TC, congrats on the new collection of cars....

Yea dude, you gotta it bad, in a good way....

-- Rob

Well the 1 car garage has a 4 post lift so both Porsches go in there and I built a Pole-Barn type car-port in my backyard to house the P1800. Parts storage in my kitchen, spare bedroom, etc.

T.C.

Just to tell you how sick I am, I'm more interested in the P1800. I going to do one of those some day. A sleeper with a small block.

I've turned this into my build thread.
I started to sort through my private stash of parts.
See Dan it won't take til 2025..

T.C.

Can someone tell me what model Porsche these Brembos came off?

pretty

more

Getty dash plate (the top is at the upholstry shop) and other goodies

This toolbox has only Porsche parts in it.

as do these storage crates

I will be fitting the Dzus fasteners on the flares and Hood-pins next before it goes out for paint.

1 more gratitious picture. Everyone knows a racecar deserves a number.

T.C.

Those look like 944's -
Maybe the 951's -

Yes it was a N.J. car it belonged to a good friend of mine, the car is completely rust Free!
He put the flares, Ginter shield, Recaro , mirrors, fiberglass lids,bumpers, & spoiler and modified the cage.
He originally bought the car from Rick Johnson.

NO! your not crazy

I'd love to have a P1800

T.C.

what you gonna do with the car
which race class?

Those are off of my car, and I would like them back! Hahaha! Definetly have the sickness! Love the Volvo! Perfect SBC material!!! Whose Civic is in the BG? Looks like my old car....

Eric L. You must have really been SLEEPIN if I got your brakes and your Civic .My Civic has a TON of miles, runs like a Champ and thanks to the Marooons at my local dealership is under bumper to bumper warranty for another year and a half.

Great Pic's. Here is one of my trunk.

BTW. The top still fits in there.

Later 951 or 968. Standard 944 has a single piston floating caliper and the early 951 is slightly different shaped and has 2 ribs on the outer half.

951 Calipers... I've got a sister set.

T.C., that's a great looking start! We're all watching now. Get to work!

Me too. I'd put on a suit and drive around town, pretending like I'm Simon Templar.

Looks pretty decent! I had my hatch for six years after new in 99....kinda miss it!

i concur with 951 calipers... (can you get rebuild kits for them yet? or are they still NLA?)

Click to view attachment

those pics sure chamge my opinion of the volvo being a 'lead sled'!!

I think you can get kits for them. You just have to go through Porsche and they're priced individually. E.G.: Dust Cap $14.00 seal $12.00 (x16) (no real prices but the real prices are equally ridiculous for tiny pieces for rubber). If I recall, it was over $150 in seals...

You are one crazy bastard!! I love all of it!! Can't wait to see them in person. My 6 conversion is moving forward. Just a lot of parts that now need to be bolted together. All the best T.C. Maybe we can talk soon.

Brian

Started Dzus'ing the flares on

1st one done

T.C. It is good to see you are starting on it. That was Rich Johnson's old car
but I did a lot of work to it. It was on ebay a while back and I was suprised
it never sold. Now I have extra cash to put into my new 550 Spyder Replica.

Hi Harry, Couple of questions for you; What Fuel Cell were you going to put in the car since the mounts are there? And why is the seat mounted so far foward (you are a little taller than me)? I talked to Rich last week. I didn't realize that it had been on eBay until this thread. Glad that it didn't sell there, as this is one solid car. and post a picture of that 550 so the peeps here can drool on their computers.

I think they are 951 also, but to be sure measure the bore size for each piston. There are several varieties.

The brackets were for a Fuel Safe fm110 10 gal. cell.They were there when I got the car from Rich. I had just made the seat bracket. I never really adjusted the
seat to fit me . It is going to kill me to see the car on the track. I will post pics
of the spyder some time tommorow.
