Okayyyy, here's today's photo update.




Lots of stuff that should be in the rear of my car. Quaife is going out to be remanned (to be safe) and then sold here on rennlist. Broken gearset (replaced by 968 transaxle which is in the background), fuel tank (being replaced by fuel cell), and... oh yeah, that's my floor.



Oh yeah, cut out the floor, and spare tire well. I still have LOTS of trimming to do, and some more cutting.



And I leave you with a random photo of me doing some construction at a friend's apartment.

You are a brave man to cut out the rear hatch floor like that. I dont think i could ever have the gumption to do that!

DDP

So what's the plan for the rear floor? Reason for cutting it out?

You're lucky your face isn't in that pic. You know Lart....

DDP

Ah just read fuel cell....

Mike, nice job pal. You sure are really hacking away with this project. Are you sure this isn't a 100 % restoration? Damn dude, you are a workaholic on that cars of yours, kudos to you. Just keep warm with a space heater.

DAMN YOU MPD47!!!!! HOW DARE YOU CUT YOUR FLOOR BEFORE ME....haha looks great mike, love the pics. How heavy is that piece you cut out anyways?

Is that ANOTHER AIR splitter? I'd love to see your 'collection' one of these days.

MPD47

Hehehe, I'll weigh the floor sections tomorrow. I'm also cutting out the rear seats. Yes, ANOTHER AIR splitter, this is the one getting reinforced though. Aluminum and carbon kevlar. I'll have photos of that when it happens (dropping it off at a friend's place to do the kevlar work tomorrow).

Space heater? I've been working with a coat off all week, it's balmy out! (37 degrees hahahaha). Rob, nah, not 100% more like just making things easier for me to work on.

Guns951

Yeah Rob, jeez c'omon...its a 99.9718324422341% restoration...God how could you have missed that...he's keeping the stock engine placement....hahaha I love these projects

Explain to me one more time why you're destroying an otherwise happy 951. All I know that was wrong was the tranny had been shredded. Last time I checked, swapping trannies didn't require the cutting of floors.

Cutting the floor out is hardly making it any less stock than it already was.

Trust me, with the fuss that car puts up, it deserves anything it gets!

Damn! I don't know why, but in some sick, disturbed way I'm actually inspired by this madness to work on my car.. go figure!

MPD47

Actually it's being lowered 10mm, but that has more to do with Lindsey motor mounts than me doing something crazy

I just dont see restoration as the correct term for it. When I think restoration I think 60's euro or old American Muscle, not an '80's pcar I'm cutting up and making into a track car that sees some street use. But that's me.

I applaud you a lot Mike, but I still think you are nuts pal! But you are doing one hell of a job. I'll make you a deal, I'll buy another 944T and you can convert it into a full-time track car, ok? Just don't go and spend $4K like Guns did on Gold Tin Foil for heat insulation in the engine bay!
