Cant be far away now Im guessing Dave. I assume you will be aiming to have it completed for the 2015 NITT?

The car may be ready but how long is the interior going to take you Dave? Can't wait to have the Orange T on the road and in the group. Maybe throw in some old seats from Steve to start with aye?

No updates for a while. I am off to Europe for all of July on a family holiday so prior to this plan to visit Steve and push things along a little so that maybe when I am back it could be hard into the interior work. Last update was that car was going to be running end of May so I will catch up on that progress while down there.

Maxem

That's the plan. I won't be a very happy boy if the T isn't at least road and track ready by then. The SC is a back up but that needs a lot of time, effort and money spent on it if I want to take the weekend seriously. It will not do to just turn up and tootle around at the back. Plus, I don't want to lavish too much on the SC if it is a short holding. It's well sorted enough for what it is but certainly not up to sustained track beatings.

Maxem

First goal is to get a running and driving car. The interior will take longer than I think no doubt but at least if it is driveable this will speed up the work anyway because I can get it home and work on the little things. I would be OK with a basic race seat in place for the NITT and not much else as long as it can be legally driven and is sorted.
Starting to get a little itchy. Lots of money hanging out there and not being able to drive it is not much fun.

Enjoy the family trip mate. Europe in summer for one month? That's the good life right there! :-)

looks good Walter.

Thanks for letting me try your Dragon's Breath John. Previously when I cleaned Lola's wheels there was black sooty stuff left behind. That's gone and I didn't even have to do any wiping. I massaged it in a bit with a dish washing brush and hosed it off. Effortless. Didn't get a before shot but grubby brake dust.

Good one Doug, I was a bit worried about carrying the clean 964 burden on my own you can now park next to Herman on the East Cape trip.

O2GO

Generous jesture thanks John. The RS60 wheels weren't so easy. Still a heap of tar from Targa. Oh for smooth 5 spoke wheels.

John McM

Agree. Spyder wheels aren't much easier. I actually removed my wheels from the car to do it. I need a hoist....

Maxem

Yes, mainly for the kids benefit but enough Porsche and other car content to keep me happy. Sight downside - we have a 9 seater van for the bahnstorming work

Had a 2 litre diesel DSG VW van my last time in Germany - still good for 180 km.h
