Hours of skill and prep work, getting there and keep us updated!

...and extra bad news for mine because that means a rotting light frame is going to mean it's going to need a new quarter

NineMeister

Not necessarily, I think you can buy the panel separately from Porsche.

Alternatively drop in at the end of next week, Marc's going to be removing two from our 9m11RS-R project to fit the earlier SC panels.

Thank-you Colin very useful pics of dash. I'll remove the knee pad and have a look this week.

You should maybe mask the VIN in front compartment otherwise will be difficult to read!

Don't ask how I know!

Steve, light holder is available separately. My OPC quote £90ish last year. I think PET shows the part number.

NineMeister

Thanks for the tip Charles, however if you look closely you may just be able to see the faint glow of green paint through the masking tape covering up the number already....

So you've done this before............? ;O)

Looking forward to the restoration work and pics.

Can't wait to get all the LS Cups together someday!

Colin - Wonderful project. Keep the pictures coming.

More work progressing in 9m Panelcraft over the last week or so. We've now got Kermit off the Celette jig and onto the rotisserie to give us full access to the floorpan so that we can straighten the jacking points & pan and strip off all the old seam sealer where it has been damaged. Heatgun and wirebrush wheels sort out the sealer easily enough. The jacking points required more serious work, one of them had to be removed, straighened with panel hammers & re-welded back into position on the floor.

These 9M threads give me hope knowing that there's people out there that do it right.

Floor preparation done: photos show masking the rest of the shell; floor after painting & detail seam sealing the joints.

Wow Colin, you guys give the word "quality" a new meaning. I'm very impressed and glad to see such craftsmanship in the Porsche business. No question (IMHO) of who to turn to in order to build a NA race Porsche . Keep up the good work, love it!

PS. I was on the fence earlier this year (NA or turbo), but chose the dark side (RUF TurboR), which I took delivery of a few months back. Next time around it's 9M. DS.
