Just for you - from a week or so ago...



I'm going to visit her in the body shop in an hour - see the sill cut open and what the 'damage' really is inside but I'm not concerned as it's only a small patch and I know inner sills are clean

Started the assembly of the front, I went for OEM brake lines I think they maybe Turbo S someone confirm this for me control arms from a friend in Scotland ...hub spindles were plated and then powdercoated hubs soda blasted

Great day at C of G today...started with a shock test on vibrating plates



Then on the ramp for loads of meaurements and calculations car then loaded to simulate fuel etc



Releasing everything the angle of spring plates checked and found out of spec so re-index of torsions bars easy for Chris he acheived the porsche club sport spec of 9 deg



With angle set time to do the ride height

before

AFTER


Now the setup can begin first corner weighting, then geometry then check ride height and corner balance again until perfect
this is 16 hrs work, but it will be perfect
