Re: The Ratback
Rocking full reds at the back
Future plans include:
- Lowering the front suspension a spline or two, just to get the nose level.
- Painting the Rostyles satin black
- Get some carpeting in.
- Put a Porsche steering wheel in
- Fitting a roof rack
- Fitting a Type 1 alternator (saw an old post by IMPI on the STF regarding this)
Friend of mine from the states has offered to send some goodies for the car over, so after the car is painted later this year, it will be sporting some cool accessories

Re: The Ratback
So when can we actually expect some progress, not just the moving around the garage?

Re: The Ratback
Dutch this is not my project - and it isn't a full blown project. Just a car that can be driven and enjoyed

Re: The Ratback
I am contemplating the arctic chill of those full reds.
Buff the chrome, paint the rosty's and the car will be equally devoid of heat.

Re: The Ratback

Re: The Ratback
Ratback is for sale.
Is licensed in my name and has a roadworthy.
It runs fine, drove it as a daily for 3 months and took it to quite a few shows in that time.
Factory interior is still very nice and clean. Pan is solid. From the pictures, obviously it can be seen that the car needs bodywork, else keep it as it is and rock it as a ratty with some lowering and decal work....
Motor sounds okay, although there is some piston slap.
Looking at R8k.
PM me.
