Okay sorry for this pointless post, but I need to revive my inspiration to complete this project, so I'm bumping it back to the top. Need to get my *** in gear, finish it off and race the damn thing, so please bug me for updates and I will post more pics.

Well, to help us kick you in gear, what is the current status and what needs to be done?

Some minor electrical issues, wiring up the radiator fans, installing switches, roll cage and finishing up the inside to FIA spec. That and a whole lot of other small things, mainly cosmetic.

I have an important Superkart race on this weekend, but come Monday I'm gonna get stuck into Fat Bully.

It's time.

Wiring? Oh, in that case, I can't offer any encouragement.

Pierre, Good luck in the new cart. I look forward to reading of more progress w/ Fat Bully, my favorite 928. Are you planning on making any molds of the body mods before racing? I for one would love to get ahold of those parts. But more importantly, if you are planning on racing I would imagine that there is a good possibility of frequent body damage.

Hey Fabio. The bodywork was a long story, you'll have to weed through the thread for the history. But, yeah I'm gonna race it. Get ready for some damaged bodywork bargains.

So anyway, after a two year lay-off I decided to finish the Fat Bully project.

Here are some recent crappy cellphone pics. I'll post more pics and updates next week.

Cheers,
Pierre.

Cool Pierre,
yes a break can sometimes be a good thing to regain interest and energy to complete a project like this.

It still looks really nice. Just need to finish it off, and take it out racing. Then you can keep making improvements to it later...
