Congratulations on the fantastic build so far.
An amazing and worthy tribute to this unsung hero of the Porsche legacy at Le Mans.
Looking forward to its debut!

Merci sympa d'avoir un message d'un compatriote ici
En effet il nous tarde de voir ce que donne la mécanique.
Le front vient de chez gt racing comme on peut s'en douter et commander directement aux usa.
En effet il y a un gros boulot pour le mettre dans la configuration de la 944LM surtout au niveau de la "bouche" qui guide l'air aux radia. Il faut la fabriquer complètement. De base le kit correspond à la voiture 36 en 81.
Mais rien n'est impossible la preuve. Bon courage à toi pour la suite.
Sorry for this french message guys but so Happy to see that french persons are Also following the thread. Maybe Thanks to the picture you can imagine the question and answer

J'ai les fender arrière, j'attendais d'être bien fixé avant de commander le front end. Effectivement leur kit est vrmt basé sur la 81.
On se reparlera vieux!

Please post some pictures of it out in the sunlight! Incredible work!
I'm now working on the cam-cover master for the casting but things are not so easy as we expected. Cams are moving really close to the head's edges. We'll have to modify some things on the cover but it looks good so i wanted to show it to you

thanks thom, turbo SII, as i said it's not finish at all. I really have to modify it a lot. I'll certainly do a 3D printing for the definitive master. But i don't think we'll do more than 1 casting. Our target is not to do money with reproduced parts, this is the Porsche property. This is Also why i didn't do any mold of the modified body work. We only want this car to be a beautiful object and tribute of its ancestor.

Thom, il faut lire entre les lignes, c'est surtout une maniere politiquement correcte de dire que je n'ai pas envie du tout de m'ennuyer à vendre, expedier et gérer les ptits tracas de certains pour adapter des pieces qui restent artisanales. Repliquer des pieces en "série" n'a pour but que celui de se faire de l'argent à mon sens d'où ma reponse. Ce qui m'interesse c'est la creation du master et de LA pièce le reste c'est de "l'industrialisation" et j'en mange assez le reste de la semaine

Il est bien entendu que c'est de l'artisanal. Ce site a beau être US, la plupart des DIYers ici présent ne vont pas te faire un procès en cas de pb, si c'est le pb. J'ai bien lu entre les lignes mais je trouve cette langue de bois pénible. Tu n'es pas le seul à faire de la grande série en semaine, mais cela n'empêche pas de faire de la petite série pendant son temps libre. J'ai cependant bien saisi le message.

Fantastic work yet again Rom!
What is the issue with the cams? Is it literally a case of not enough room to turn? How did you select the cam profiles, did you find out the factory spec?

It's more due to the design of my cam cover it's not really technically good and doesn't let enough space at the bottom.
concerning the cam unfortunately at the moment we don't have any spec from the factory so the basis is the original cam profile and we'll see later what to change to be more efficient.
For now we're also finishing the dashboard installation and here it seems that nearly everything is fine.
