Yep. Btw the porsche brakes will be going on the front, not the rear :D

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 :roll: 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 :wink: :mrgreen:

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

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 :?
