We're putting it back to original FJ spec at the moment, hopefully race ready at end of May for International Trophy at Silverstone. (The car won same race meet in 1963...)
I know it was a controversial car, but having eventually been allocated one, I can't imagine ever selling my R, whatever comes next from Porsche. It's the ideal modern car for me.
So, I've been talking to Robert Linton, who is clearly doing some great development work. My intention is to look at a package of his developed parts towards the end of the year, and have them fitted in one go.
In the meantime, my R has gone back to Porsche GB, who are going to strip it back to the shell and repaint in Arrow Blue (same as 918). My late allocation meant that there was no chance of PTS at the time
Given that Daniel (lessthan3mph) was instrumental in helping me make the decision, I think this is a good place to record the progress of that. Daniel helped with initial mock-ups of the car, and I have since had a render done (with more help from @jk.automtotive on Instagram!)
So this is what is used to look like....(although now has side stripes)
And this is what it will look like. (Still to finalise stripes, but likely matte silver, and likely painted on)
Personal taste, and maybe not as subtle as some, but I like it!
