Thanks for the comment! It's not quite finished yet, odds and sods plus wheels, GEO corner weight and height adjust,etc. through time the car will go through a series of alteration and mods such as shifter,etc that's getting developed. Right now the car is set so its reliable and the biggest hurdle is the shakedown to see if the whole car is put together as we thought.

Yes the mods are a little conservative, but that's how I want her. Almost too good to drive, but my thoughts is that I have a brand new car to drive....literally a brand new built 964 which not a lot of people can say.

Whilst other bits was on progress, I have been indecisive about wheel choice but had some BBS E28 and E88 in the garage for many years now. So these E28 magnesiums went for crack test and refurb.

These came out a treat, the wheels were built to 8.5s for fronts and 10s on the rear. The lips were sent for ceramic polishing, a far intense finish than a machine polish finish.

I was hoping you were going with E88/28s

You've really gone and done it now. Massively jealous, this attention to detail is ridiculous.

Still indecisive about wheels yet, but may have a play with a few different wheels. Lets just say am hoarding a few odd sets.

Phil Walker a good friend at PW Motorsport is sending out some original BBS stickers to finish off the wheels.



Decided to go with a small dishes on rear 1.5" lip and a 1" lip front. In my views wide body car suits a large dish on rear, but with a narrow body model I prefer less lip for a less aggressive look.

Not that I will be running silly low as this 964, just to give you an idea of the rear wheel lips sizes 1.5" lips and 1" lip front.



This is Oliver Åhlén dad's 964 RS.







Compared to the larger rear lip, can you see the difference?






Staggering 2.5-3" lip on the AP Cup car.

You had enough of my these BBS E28s yet? Hopefully tyred up soon. Thanks to Chris & Phil Hindley for the the different set up & Phil Walker on this set of BBSs. Will show you my BBS E88s next week a different set up altogether.

Gert at Carnewal is my goto guy for BBS stuff.

www.carnewal.com no affil, excellent service!

Norm, I'm so impressed with your project, your attention to detail (as has been mentioned by others previously) is fantastic!

What is involved in the ceramic polishing? I just did machine polish on my BBS wheels. Does this finish hold up better? The germans do a hochglanzverdichtung:
pretty cool.

Is Andy the same Andy that does work for 9M? Is he not associated with Sounthbound Trimmers?

Can't wait to see the final product
