That's an awful lot of alignment shims there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif)

I'd check the trailing arm to see if it's bend.

Metal has been ordered from Restoration Design.

I'm going to have to create some of it. More next week.

After more than three weeks of moving the shop, it's time to get back to Porsche work.


Here are James' pieces from Restoration Design:

I stabilized the car and removed a little more metal.

I then started to make the rough cuts on the replacement piece. This takes time to make the patterns to get it right. It's now roughed in. Tomorrow, I'll start making the little trims that will get it in place.

Major surgery to remove cancerous rust ... looks like it's going well, prognosis is optimistic at this stage. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sunglasses.gif)

Wow that is a drag to have to open that all up.

Better to do it this way than find out at Daytona on the banking...

Joe will have it better than new. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Look, metal where there was previously none. Because the top is open, I will be able to run beads inside the long as well.

This makes me happy:

Welding the back of the seams wasn't too easy, but I got it done.

This picture shows the extent of the remaining work. I have to fabricate the top of the longitudinal. However, the piece that's finished is the foundation for everything else and I think it will end up being the hardest.

I put the car down and rolled it around to let it settle.

Here are a couple of interesting observations.

The door will have to be adjusted, but the gap is much better.

Look at the back. It's now higher on the right. I think there was so much compliance in the body previously that someone installed all those alignment shims on the right just to level the car. There are no shims on the left. I'll pull the shims out and send the car for alignment.

Funny you should say that Joe, I had a hell of a time getting the ride height even on the front. I adjusted one side on the front almost all the way up and the otherside almost all the way down. Everytime I bounced the car, it was wrong again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

The back did not need much adjustment once the front was correct. I am sure all those shims and the compliance were the problem. I guess I will have to start with the ride height again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) Looks great Joe

The upper wheel house trimming is finished and it's tacked in. Friends came over and made me have a beer, so that's all for today.
