Getting stripped over xmas, going to strip it down check everything's ok, then start on painting parts and the rebuild if it doesn't need any work.

Got a set of Brembo 4 pots off a boxster coming for it, they should be here tuesday all being well. I'll have them powdercoated in Jan while I'm having an op on my foot.

Trying to get it well set up for another trip to germany in June. Then the engine will be getting ready to go in

*****UPDATE*****
Well boxing day the clutch master cylinder decided it was no more.

So bought another one which arrived yesterday:


I've also got a few extras ready to go on the car:


Quickshift Gear Linkage as my old linkage was worn

Also going to be making a rose jointed bar for the linkage arm using this track rod end from a Go Kart:


I've also had a bit of play in the steering column for a while.

The bearing I tried to get from Porsche a while back but they had discontinued it. Luckily on one of the forums I was able to get hold of one a guy hadn't fitted to his after buying it from Porsche a while back.

The white bush is for the bottom of the gear linkage so hopefully the whole mechanism will be brand new once I've sent the linkage at the bottom of the stick off to be reconditioned.


The car's off the road for the next few weeks. It's up in the air on stands at the moment. I've got the callipers off and getting the new ones powder coated over the next week.

Hopefully have the new parts on over the weekend if I can brave the rain again.
