It's been a while since I posted some progress. Life is getting in the way of getting the car ready.
2019 and 2020 saw a lot of changes in my life, I've built and started a new business, got married and my wife is pregnant of our first child. I have also moved to an apartment without a garage. So I still have to use the small one car garage of old and the basement workshop at my parents' house. This makes working on the bodyshell a bit more difficult.
I have done some work in the last 6 months:
Completed the wiring loom (apart from the ground wiring, that I need to do when everything is in the car)
restored the original seats
rebuilt the original gearbox
rebuilt the doorlocks
I have been slowly working away at the parts that I can finalize without the car being back together. In principle I could assemble the engine, but I don't want to assemble it if it has to sit for two more years. So I have been doing the small stuff and redesigning some of the things that I have been working on in the past.
Things I am working on at the moment:
Prop rods for the bonnet/boot
Cover plates for the bodyshell (trunk/front/speaker hole)
Rainlight/fog light bracket
Front spotlight stays
Harness bar
Engine (Camshaft) trigger wheel and sensor
Some upgrades coming:
Disc brake conversions front and rear (Wilwood calipers)
Aluminium front hubs
Lightweight wheels
I haven't been able to do any work to the bodyshell, because I had to do an engine change in my 987 Cayman and that took most of the summer, and now it's gotten too cold for fiberglassing.
The bodyshell is the main bit that still needs to be finished, before I can put the car back together. It needs the last bit of fiberglass work and then paint.
I uploaded a new video yesterday, on designing and building the roll cage. You can watch it here:
