        Not to much going on. I have been swamped at my shop because the sun came out and everyone wants their cars detailed.

        Got some firewall deadening that wasn't ripped to pieces:
        (old on the left obviously)


        Got the tar and fuse block back in place.


        The booster is from a VW Vanagon. I saw it in a junk yard already pulled and it looked identical to the 944 booster. On the way out I talked to a guy who says he installed a E30 booster and Master on his Vanagon and it felt a bit mushier. So I figure if I run this booster and my master I should feel really close to stock or maybe a bit tighter.
        Am I wrong? this booster shit confuses me.

        Booster mocked up:


        To be honest it doesn't look like I will need to modify the booster at all. It is very close, 5/6 mm from aligning with the pedal lever. That's what I am working on now... more later bitches.

                Man I wish I had the garage need to restore my '87 like this! I'm loving your color choice and that top right valance looks like a great design.

                        I'll have a good update this weekend, hopefully. Porsche club is having a tech/garage day here and at east bay collision, so I've been cleaning and redoing much of the shop.

                        The car needs a front subframe before I can put the engine in (this ones broken). Im also missing an M20 flywheel and clutch.

                        Add that and the shop running on top of me working on Court's E30, The PRO3, my 240z, my red car and James s38 mount arm fabrication.

                        I have to many projects.
