Ha, thankyou. I feel it's its got a little further to go before reaching that standard. The singer bay is aspirational
lol - Who can spot the duct tape holding something together in the last two images

Look good ! Nice to see some Fuchs reps that have some proper dish. The flat faced ones just look all wrong. The deeper the dish the better a Fuchs looks to my eyes...........

Hey Rob - been following this thread for a while. Bloody inspirational ! Yes, wiring looms are sexy. I want to do the same thing - build a custom loom. How do I go about it ? Can you pM some details please?

Oh my god... those wheels... we need details on sizing!

Edit: Sorry, just saw you already posted the sizes... I was too busy falling all over myself to notice...

Hi guys, thanks for the comments

It's been a while since I updated this thread. Not an enormous amount has been going on since as it's essentially a completed project. You'll be pleased to hear that it is being used regularly, been on a few European trips and never missed a beat. I've been mostly tweaking little stuff like ride height, geo, mapping, brake pads - small incremental changes. This kind of stuff takes a while and evolves as you use it. Fixed the faulty ABS pump (usual issue - corroded valves) Other changes have been a swap to use the 993 pedal box (improved pedal spacing for RHD cars) and the fitting of ducktail which I just LOVE ! I'll post some pictures over the weekend. The next little mod will be to replace the servo and M\C for a 993 unit - no rush on this as I'm only doing it to future proof the car. 993 MCs are a fraction of the cost of those for a 964.
A long time back I bought the dashboard air/heater unit (the type with the old school mechanical slider controls) from an earlier 911 with the intention of fitting it and ditching the HVAC. I do still intend to do this as I love the simplicity. However I seem to have the only FULLY working HVAC system in existence so I'm loathed to pull it until I need to. If it so much as coughs tho, the game will be on.
Maybe a nice stainless exhaust system at some point but really, outside of these the car will stay as is. It's a great drive and I don't want to loose any of that. Well.... maybe a very low pressure supercharger wouldn't go amiss
