hugh Posted 22April, 2015 Report Share Posted 22April, 2015 I was getting the feeling you do this for a living so I checked out your URL; http://www.fuelbespokedesign.com/ Your website states cars completion is due this month - full disclosure of this thread being a free advertisement maybe worth noting? I'll give you the benefit of the doubt at this stage, but just thought I'd make mention of this to you and others that maybe subscribing to this thread.

clutch-monkey Posted 22April, 2015 Report Share Posted 22April, 2015 Looks excellent, interesting work with the coolers. And with the wide body, won't have the offset issues most 964 backdates have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRW121 Posted 22April, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 22April, 2015 That's still bloody quick work! It'll be ready for Spring SMT at this rate. Hi Harv, Yes, I was fortunate enough to retire last year from IT which gave me time to work on this project full time as the last car I built whilst working took me 3 1/2 years! I also want to make a bit of a business out of backdating these cars, which sounded great until the prices of 964's jump significantly making it way too expensive, unless your Singer of course!! I think the car will take me another 3-4 weeks to finish, I'm on the interior now so will keep the tread updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poli84 Posted 22April, 2015 Report Share Posted 22April, 2015 I notice you haven't plugged the holes where the 964 side skirts snap into place. What's the plan here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 22April, 2015 Report Share Posted 22April, 2015 Build them, and they will come! In all honesty, if one knows what they're doing and has the time, it doesn't take long to build a car. We worked out that my 912 took a total of 16 days to bare metal it, do ALL the nasty dents with heat shrinking and minor rust repairs to a perfect finish, replace the floor and paint it. Though that was over a period of 14 months in my mates spare time doing one panel per day in his garage. It can be done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvs11 Posted 22April, 2015 Report Share Posted 22April, 2015 Hi Harv, Yes, I was fortunate enough to retire last year from IT which gave me time to work on this project full time I'll be watching with interest. I've often told SWMBO that when I retire she can look for me in the shed doing just this sort of thing. She knew what she was getting in to when we met. I was under a car changing a gearbox at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poli84 Posted 5May, 2015 Report Share Posted 5May, 2015 ^^^^^^ Very nice! Is this custom piece or off the shelf part? A great idea for removing the odd 964 sill lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airhead Posted 5May, 2015 Report Share Posted 5May, 2015 Harvs. She was probably looking down your shorts leg while you were under there and was impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
