Rookie Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 From what I can tell you are only a couple of NACA ducts, a wing, and 300 odd hp short. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoozin Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 How to Porsche. Wow that is awesome. I'm doing it so wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Hey Snoozin, it was all self inflicted pain I can assure you. We still had about 2 years worth of payments to make on the car when it got wrecked, so there wasn't much of a choice for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was interested to read about the cold working of the chassis over DAYS on the straightener..that's something iv never heard of before! Yeah, John is a really good guy. He was more interested in getting the car right than in making any money on the job. I didn't mention it in the build thread but once the measurements had been confirmed he got his team to seam weld the entire front section.

Mrs Flash says cheers Joker. Its not really relevant to the build thread but she ended up both National and Regional Champion in her racing class that year using my road car to finish the second half of the season. There were some additional adventures along the way including a blown clutch on my road car at the same track where the accident took place with Mrs Flash undertaking a 700 km tow rope trip home behind the 924 which we still owned at the time. She is a gutsy lady but can be pretty high maintenance in the garage department. When our next door neighbor first saw the wreck and heard the story he said "Thank God my missus loves sewing" 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoKer Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 LOL & holy cow at 700 km tow-rope torture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Yep, the bugger with a 911 is that when the clutch goes you can select as many gears as you want, but the car ain't moving. Money was already flowing onto the wreck repairs, so we were on the bones of our arse. No other option but to bite the bullet. We must be the only folk who ever paid off a 911 clutch and pressure plate over six months on a credit card. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
