Yep. Btw the porsche brakes will be going on the front, not the rear
Any ideas on wheels anybody? Those nice original chromes will be a bit impractical next year, since I'll be at uni. Too much chance of them getting damaged

was thinking the 15" rostyles we got with the car, but if somebody has a set of Empi BRM Speedwells, or Empi five spokes lying around, I won't say no

The porsche drums going on the front (Before and after cleaning)
What do you guys think about this idea for a extra brake light. Bader Racing did it on their Porsche 993 powered Karmann Ghia. I think it looks pretty cool,but not sure how noticeable it will actually be

for the wheels, why not look into the set of 928 rims the calooker had for sale a short while ago... that will really make the car look insane

That is really wicked looking. It looks like it just came off the production line. Great work!

Real nice work! The detail youre putting into the project is amazing. I can't help to notice a steering shock amongst the parts though
