Nice color choice!

Liking the idea for the color, sun burst style.

[Jparkr]

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.

Finished the pedal box swap

Before:


After:


Here is the booster/lever diffrence. Piece of cake, no mod will be needed :-D


Here are some designs ive been working on for my custom front valance:

whoa awsome progress. what brand paint was used on this?

[Court M3]

Euros huh? We might be able to work something out if I can get to Japan at the end of the month? No crap man, I'm seriously considering repainting the Henna now. Shoot me a PM to discuss

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.

Seriously, Danny I just spit beer all over the place. hahahahha

That's me asking for updates.

[Jparkr]

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.

[Court M3]

Don't worry buddy, I'm not coming home anytime soon :-( Let's see you get to work on yours!! I've been following this one as well.
