We moved the doors to the back and started mocking up the roofline:

The lower portion of the firewall will stay. We already seam-welded the top shut and we'll add a flat section to the back to get a nice clean box. It'll add to the strength of the center portion and also give us a clean transition to the floor-patch that still needs to be added.
The front portion of the rear center tunnel will be replaced with a custom piece for better looks. The side areas will have substantial bracing added on the inside from the doorposts up into the rollbar area. Then the whole side will be closed up with a smooth patch-panel. For the roof, it looks like we will in fact be able to keep both targa tops for the front and rear. We came up with an idea that would give us a nice roofline and still have the front top removable as well. We shall see ... Any local volunteers for Saturday the 20th??? We could need some hands as we will have to do a lot of cleaning, grinding and prepping of the inside before we weld in all the reinforcements and panels.

my thought is two targa roofs with a targa band between, The separation, after all shows the client and chauffeur are two different entities.
Nice Job , will be great FUN. |

To bad there are not to many options for a automatic trans, would make it easy for the shift linkage. Keep up the good work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) Would a 928 V-8 bolt up to a Boxster Trans? They've got automatics. (not that I expect anyone to take this random thought seriously, I might be working on my post count) |

I still can't really believe how smoothly this project is going. I figure another month or so and we'll be installing interior and thinking about motor/trans.

What a great job guys. Fast work to.
I think you should start a "Donate to the Limo Fund" but the donation is parts? I am sure you guys have already been thinking about this stuff but??? Here is some parts I was thinking about; Wood bar with leather trim. Intercom system Seats SC front end for vented rotors Bigger brakes Shift bar parts Longer clutch and gas cable. etc.... How about the MR2 setup of cable shifting?? 914 interior bits, window cranks, crome cover for the locks, Things that we can send to you to help the project come along. Just post what you guys need team work. |
