Both rear Sheridan quarters are now fit into position. I would have liked to see these made with a proper edge that mates into the rain drip recess. These only come with a leading edge which looks (to me anyway ) unfinished. The front wide body fenders do come with the finished rain drip recess>>go figure.
That's it for this update, more to come after Rennsport5!

Setting the custom A.I.R. fiberglass bumper into position.
It's built with steel brackets that will fasten into the oe bolt locations.

Fabrication of the sheet metal for a new mono-wiper in the front cowl. The new wiper will fit and function like the 991 track cars.

Setting up the position of the SQS sequential shift tower-to-driver. It's a real comfortable reach and throw !

Thumbs up on our projekt 9148-gtt from a Factory official, our good friend (center in pic) Uwe. In town to take a look at the latest 914 creation, he has been following our builds since the mid '80s. Lots of Porsche crew were in California for Rennsport5

Marty, are those 914 seats with the head rest cut off?....I'm on a much smaller build, would also like to have plexiglass slider windows. Would love to see more photo's, thanks for sharing. Best, Mark

Seats are just random 914 take-outs at the shop, nothing cut off. Needed to set the distance for driver distance to the SQS shifter. We will be using Recaro or equivalent seats on this build.

Complete engine management harness that I finished up this week . Unfortunately the stock Cayenne TT ecu is not tunable for this 5.0 biturbo, so we are going with Haltech elite 2500.
Anyone need a complete ecu+harness for an '05 Cayenne TT, got one for sale ¡
