blown 944

a little sad for me to see, considering all the detail work you had done.

me, not being a detail person, can appreciate it and I imagine some will be lost on a track car

looks like you guys were having some fun anyway.

Great pictures Olli

That's some very impressive 2 days of progress

Good stuff guys. That 968 TRS sounds like a killer idea.

from the ashes roars the Pheonix...or something to that effect. Keep posting your progress. It's always great to see a project in motion.

Winter Saga continues. Pete was real active last week and almost removed everything from the damaged body. Pete has measured the body and found out it has bent too much to be saved. I was with my youngest son Peter to give our hands for a little help to Pete. Our job was mainly to cut off the undamaged side of the body. Pete focused mainly to put Heikki’s car back on wheels again.

Great pics Olli and good to see Pete hard at work - The true transaxle fan he is

Hell make what are you going to do with the good side of the shell you have just cut away from the bad? Garage wall art by any chance

When do you expect Heikki’s car to be finished mate?

It'll be at painter's ( on the other side of the wall, that is ) for few weeks, then I'll take it to my garage for engine installation. That should be pretty straight forward to do, no exotic parts fabrication, just bolting on my old ones. Last 1/3rd of exhaust must be repaired, it was bent. Car has to be driven without muffler to the guy who made it...should be fun.

I think it should be ready by the end of January, there's Christmas and my two week's vacation in Jan messing schedules. And it's snowing...

Olli Snellman

Heikki will get almost too good car, it's so sad to see Pete's car to be ripped down, after all it was the finest 951 i have ever seen. Hope i will recover soon (had my knee operated yesterday) so i can help Pete to finish Heikki's car.

Oh for Pete's sake
Nice work guys, still sorry to see that car in it's last dying throes...

So Olli did you do your Knee operation in the workshop by yourself or did the Petes help??

Olli Snellman

I am sure Pete should managed it
Actually i went to the hospital on monady Morning and walked out in the afternoon. It's just great to see doctor doing his job, i had my own monitor from which i was able to see inside my knee, he also explained all the time what he was doing and also pointed out the damaged parts.Yesterday was a bad day, lot's of pain, but now it's more or less OK. I suppose i can go skating next Sunday

ehall

NO #$%^&*! SKATING, for atleast a month, but more likely THREE!
You don't want this pain more than once.

Olli, I'd listen to this man ^. He represented his country in Ice Skating and once played Goofy in 'Disney on Ice'. He took the title too literally and actually was on Ice at the time, but that's another story....
