So made some progress as the bottom flange lip on the tunnel was rusted . I need to just grind and blend it now along with punching a hole in it for wire pass through. Lots of grinding in my future

I also took some time to make some of the engine sheet metal. These 2 pieces and took about and hour.Attached Image Attached ImageAttached Image

Made the hardest of the sheet metal pieces today. It is 2 pcs as i am not sure how else to make it without a die or having it look horrible. I will probably draw these up and have laser cuts made.Attached Image

Another piece done.


Soon bigger sections will be done. Once the floor pan is on it will really look like headway is being made.

Finished all 5 pieces of sheet metal just need to drill and sand a few spots. Finished gt reinforcement kit on passenger side, have to grind and blend a bit.. Welded -6 oil line hook from mcmark on

Firewall soon as soon as tygaboy is healed he will ship me his and the rear floor pan will go on.

Received my latest batch of replated parts/ hardware today including my head studs for the engine and misc parts. Thats always fun..

I have about 4 more weeks that i will put in a 3-4 hours a week amd then a break for a while as i have some vacation coming soon.

And I thought clear filter tops so you can see the stacks was my idea.

May I ask what material you found to withstand the fuel/possible backfire environment?

Just went out for another hour and fixed the passenger side tunnel flange, lower corner of passenger long.

My issue is the stamping done on the bottom of the passenger long(inner) is really not easy to replicate so i need to think on that as that is what the floor pan welds too. I can patch it but I really only need a 1.5" 90 degree piece about 30" long but have to have the stampings to lool right.

The 964 looks so generic next to the turbo. It's partly the color but it really seems like porsche went the wrong direction with the cosmetics on that car. JMO.

We have injection moulding experts in the Urban Workshop / I will do a little asking on what would be the best Lexan or other clear plastic to form / most likely a copy of my rain hats....... hmmmmm $$???

I'd think you'd want to use something non-flammable. I remember seeing the mess an original -6 was when a backfire ignited a stock plastic air box and the melted plastic was dripping down the carbs. Ugly to say the least!
