Work continues on the arch liners.....


Note: no 9mRS-R's were hurt in making these parts.

Robin welded on mounting plates to the rear bumper supports to brace the lower edge of the rear liner; elsewhere a combination of the stock studs and a few carefully added nutserts will hold the liners in place. Quick coat of black paint and we should be done tomorrow.

Are your lads not allowed to use a workbench or have they been naughty and so required to sit on the floor?

(Loving the updates!)

Those are 9meister elves. Normally found seated cross-legged on the floor with a ruddy glow to the complexion due to copious rum toddies, a cap on the head, and a pipe clenched firmly in the mouth. Nothing too unique here I think.

Colin,

Is it worth pulling a mold off those liners incase a replacement is ever needed?


P.S. Love your work.

Yes, probably. We'll test the car first though to make sure the tyres have adequate clearance.

Anyone remember the helmet? Well, here is the finished article straight from my old friend Mike. What do you think?

I can't wait to see pictures, videos, and other stats of this car being driven in anger.

That is absolutely gorgeous! Although I wouldn't have the brass to wear it while sitting in the car! I'd have it on the mantelpiece to admire.

...Nah, what it needs is some road grime across the peak and front aspect, a'la open cockpit 917 and the like.....it's gotta look used not all pristine.

Colin, you should bring it to Spa at the end of March for a shake down with the rest of the 964 boys.
