Mexican1000 (Rothsport 964 build)
Usually these guys are too busy building, so happy to see them documenting a really cool project for the upcoming Mexican1000.

Oh! Keeping the sunroof?
Looking great!
Now going out to garage to turn up the coilovers to have some cheap 4x4 action in the C4.

I'd love to hear comments from the experts about these reinforcements! Wow

Tying the rear shock mounts to the cage adds a bunch of chassis stiffness, the box section that connects the rear rails and bulkhead are the primary load members. I wasn't thinking of doing this on my car but builder convinced me that with the roof cut off it was needed. There is no flex in the chassis. Makes a big difference in a road car and critical for a safari car.

Long time ago I used to 911 co-drive in the British Historic Championship and was often up against the main man Francis Tuthill. Want a rally bred FIA compliant 911? - he's also a go to guy. https://youtu.be/t3_yBf4N6IE

Damn that will look great. I'm not even sure I've seen a rally 964 mod til now 
Maybe I missed something but is this car a carrera 4 or carrera 2? Will it have awd at the end?

Just grabbed content from the web to share with the group here. I'm sure the group would love to hear from the owner. This one is being built right.
Putting the final touches on one of the Mexican1000 chassis. Off to paint on Wed. The cage work came out so good you almost want to roll the thing and see how good it works!
This would be a dream trip!
