Great stuff.

I am amazed at how light it is... even with bare interior and no heating, A/C etc and all those carbon panels, 800 kg is really low.
I guess it is impossible to achieve that result with a 993 following the same process...

Neat approach to marking the pedals on the Fuchs.

Cool car, but not even close to the level Singer is taking them.

calvin, this is how the factory painted the early Fuchs. The wheels were dipped in paint.

How come do those doors make that familiar noise when shutting if they are carbon?

The "no heating" struck me as odd when I saw the video. Especially in Germany.
I dont have heating either in my 993 and its brutal. I will eventually get around to getting it partially back in via the RS tube. Especially in cold days and rainy days its a mega pain and foggy windows are not helping.

otherwise neat 911

I love the guy's attitude, especially the comment about being a relief to come back to super simplistic approaches...
