MFX Posted 19May, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 19May, 2016 The 'Froot'? You did say Froot didnt you? Hahaha, not heard that one beforeThen you obviously haven't been watching enough of my videos . Part 8 is called "Sorting out the froot" and I go through a whole nomenclature lesson Not sure if this one has done the rounds yet, but ... here it is in case not http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/edgecliff/engine-engine-parts-transmission/cash-swap-porsche-911sc-engine-3-0l-and-transaxle-915-/1112532870Sorry wobbly, I missed your post. I am now looking at rebuilding the engine I have, as I have had an offer to help, which has swayed my decision. Also, it would be a bit of a cop out to go this far on the rest of the car, and not rebuild the engine myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, it would be a bit of a cop out to go this far on the rest of the car, and not rebuild the engine myself Cool I'm going down the same path at the moment ... cases about to get sent out to the machine shop for checking, line boring (maybe), decking and pinning. Have you made up your list of rebuild mods yet? Even if you don't go to town on the cases doing things such as the oil bypass mod will likely be worthwhile, as well as looking at timecerts and aftermarket head studs and rod bolts etc depending on where you want to take it. Oh, and spray cam almost made me lose my breakfast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am trying to work out now, if I go out to a 2.8 or 2.9 with pistons and cylinders. I have to look into it further, as it depends on the cost. Things could get a little stupid if I let it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things could get a little stupid if I let it 2.9 on stock cylinders is a bit dodgy. LN do a nice set of re-engineered cylinders for 2.9+ capacity but $$$$$. I found the cost is w-a-y cheaper to get cylinders machined and nikasil plates in the US compares to here. 2.8 is doable.

MFX Posted 20May, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 20May, 2016 Well the machine work is already going to be done in the US, so that is a possibility. 2.8 is a better capacity anyway for a 2.8 RSR inspired build Wobbly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More so someone having a go and happy to share your experiences, but it all looks good to hack like me. I hope the 'you're doing this wrong' comments are constructive as otherwise that's poor form.

MFX Posted 26May, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 26May, 2016 I have finally finished the last of the fabrication work I need to do before paint. I have spent the last week building the RSR style strut braces, front and rear, for my car. I am pretty happy with the result, so hopefully I can finish up the final prep of the engine bay, interior and the froot for so I can seam seal and repaint the stone guard. poli84, Adrenalin62, Carrera28 and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MFX Posted 31May, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 31May, 2016 (edited) Hey guys. After my first spray booth video, I had some thoughts and I have come up with some improvements to the booth, so that it will be safer and also should work better to give me a better paint finish (I hope).

MFX Posted 12June, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 12June, 2016 Well I have had a bit more progress this week. I have painted the inside of the wheel arches and inside the bumpers and front guards. I decided to do them in black because, although I think cars look great with the body colour under the wheel arches, I know that I won't be cleaning under there too regularly. The car will get driven, so I know they would just end up looking messy. Black keeps it neat and simple.

Hey Jeff,To get that splatter look with the body deadener, you can use a schutz type spray gun. These types of spray guns usually screw onto the body deadener cans.I have one if you need to borrow one (see photo), I don't know if you would want to redo the body deadener though.
