Progress is being made--it seems always slower than you'd like!

Air jacks in and plumbing work for them--I'm using Goodridge hardline. I think the main valve will be in the back at the hatch key lock opening.

The Kevlar wheel tubs are in--riveted to the remaining upper part and the enlarged sheet metal.

The fuel cell is in--pumps (active and reserve) are in the tank and the exhaust will be exiting to the right in front of the torsion bar carrier.

And this is the mount for the wing, one on each side with a slot cut in the rear panel. They are 1/16 steel with a dimpled hole machined to "embrace" each other and then tig welded together and to the bar. It's like a somewhat flat boxed beam with a central brace.

Progress is progress!

Thanks!
Although I sure would hate to repeat the build, I can't imagine not taking it Club Racing!
Working on brake lines, then hydroboost mounting, then steering column and rear wiring.
Then, maybe it comes off the rotissiere so I can put the rest of the body together.

Absolutely beautiful! I'm afraid to ask for even a ballpark on this type of build...

Keep us updated!

Ballpark. That's about right--it has come to measuring the money in ballparks. I'm past Little League, probably most municipalities, somewhere in the minors.
Now Bob Linton, he's in the newest domed NFL stadium class!

Sorry the posts have been slow--but that's the way progress seems to go sometimes. I've got some more to show and will try to take more this weekend.

Here's the front suspension, nearly complete. The struts have been rebuilt, just waiting on some welding of a backing plate with 4" brake cooling duct to mate to the 4" duct let into the longitudinal member of the frame.

Click the image to open in full size.


And this is the rear suspension. The brakes are from the 964 Turbo S LeMans (GTS) car. The half shafts are factory 968 turbo pieces.

Click the image to open in full size.


This shows how I plumbed in cooling lines for the transmission. There's a pickup welded to the right side of the case (when everything was apart) with a mesh filter, then goes to a Tilton pump mounted above the trans crossmember, across to a small Mocal cooler with fan located above the crossmember on the left, then back to the transmission to return inside the gearset case.

Click the image to open in full size.


Here's a shot of the half shaft at the transmission--the joints are much larger than stock 968's and use a different transmission output flange.

Click the image to open in full size.


This is the hydroboost pump for the power brakes. This system was first used in 964 and 993 turbos, and is in both the #1 and #4 factory 968 TRS cars. It's what allows the triangulation of the strut towers back to the cage, because the original vacuum booster was in the way. Fits well here where the carbon canister would be in a street car.

Click the image to open in full size.


Picture of a rear wheel all mounted up--someday to see the asphalt!

Click the image to open in full size.


And, since the car was up on the lift I took this shot of the inside to show cage elements.

Click the image to open in full size.


I'll try to get some other photos up later today. Thanks for everyone's interest and encouragement.

This is a view of the rear shelf with the wiring, airjack and shock canister plumbing.

This shows how the hydroboost unit fits in. The brake fluid reservoir is for that unit. I have adapted a stock reservoir for the brakes, and have made a mockup bracket and will use that as a pattern to make the permanent one.

Click the image to open in full size.


The dry sump tank fits where the battery was. Inside the cockpit this area is closed off and there's a large drain in the floor. The resisitors will be used to dump the alternator output when the master off is switched.

Click the image to open in full size.


This shows how I modified a 944 tank with the 968 "loops" and some spacer blocks. 3M makes a "slippery" (polypropylene) plastic adhesive that may not be attractive but it works great. I'm going to skip the water cooled center, so only one spout off the tank.

Click the image to open in full size.


And this is a view of the dash with its previous instruments--probably will keep some of these and end up with a MoTeC display in front of me. Brake balance lever is to the rear of the center tunnel, and the other box is for the adjustable swaybars. You can also see the bottom of the dry sump tank.

I'll get some more up later on.

I wish I had more time and a bigger budget. I am at the point where I know better how to say "NO" about something extra . . . cost over runs could sink the project, or add ten more years!!
