Pictures as promised... Where the rubber grommet goes, the hood has a nice flat area (i.e. that's where it's supposed to go). But, since my hood is fiberglass, I thought I'd reinforce the area a little bit with a piece of aluminum epoxied in place. I also used some epoxy to help hold the clip in place (since it would have originally been mounted in sheet metal.)











And, then for the body, I made a little sheet metal bracket and welded it onto the wheel arch. I can only assume it's approximately where the factory put it... it's right where the rod naturally pointed to.

Nice details as always Van. From what model does that come from?

Van

I found it in Pet 6 on the early 944. From the p/n's, it also comes from the 924.

roman944

it does look really nice

Van do you have an early car? how much work is the nose panel?

Van

No, mine is a turbo S.

I cut the nose panel with a plasma cutter and bought some rubber trim from McMaster...

VOoDOoGTX

van quite being a poosssyyyy and get a fiberglass nose panel

MM951

Yeah Van, if you want my AIR vented fiberglass panel its all yours

roman944

I thought you had an early N/A too, wow, I must have mixed you up with someone else

does the nose panel line up nicely with the hood? something I'd like to do later on

Van

Roman, I had an '83 parts car for a little while... chopped the roof off for the turbo.

So when will I see you at the track?

Van

I don't think that would be class legal...

In fact, venting my metal one might not be.

roman944

when this thing is back up and runing

right now, if this dude picks up the interior stuff, I'll be ordering harness's

then cylinder head and timing belt kit

then seats

I figure now - late may/early june

but you know how these cars are ...

Van

July 22/23 my region is hosting a DE at the Glen. Sign up for that.

I'll probably be there.

roman944

Reviving an excellent old thread ... curious to know if the clips for the hood stay come with the stay. If not anyone know the part number for the clips. Can't see anything on the PET.
