Freezing cold working outside but I installed a new AC dryer original Porsche unit so that's the AC complete


then got all the interior re-installed engine going in next week

It's looking great Ken. Look forward to seeing the engine in the bay

Is that a direct loom for the headlights that I see there, with the nearby fuses? If so I take it that fitting new wiring throughout is a step too far even for this resto?

Yes just the eBay direct kit but I modified it, you can see further back in the thread

The engine harness has been refurbished all new connectors and insulation bug that's about it

Amazing interior and the rest of the car

Top work as always Ken

I love your seats Ken. Thank you for the stainless rings btw they fit a treat although the fans have not made it back into place yet as I have other issues with the car.

Eagerly waiting for the pictures

A few more pictures of progress so far

Turbo rebuilt, and hot side Ceramic coated







more nice clean bits to go on

Sorry, but we have all had such an emotional buy-in to this remarkable build. I feel like I might cry if it goes out and gets seriously used on a wet day. Maybe I am just suffering from the muddy roads and lanes around here in Norfolk during the winter beet harvest, but the thought of this car ever going out and getting thrashed upsets me!

it is a problem I was in two minds whether or not to sell it when complete as I don't want to get it dirty , but the car will be like new when finished so needs to be driven

Are you planning on taking it to Silverstone in July?

I doubt it will be complete by then once it comes back from having engine installed I have some minor body work and paint to sort out

And more pictures of the engine

In all honesty I think it will actually be better than new. factory workers do not put the care into their work in the way you have... and I say that with respect to all production line workers everywhere, even the best lines, they are doing a different thing..

That's a shame. Might have to travel further afield to see it in person once it's done. It's already incredible, can't wait to see it completed.
