Congrats on the baby! I bet you find less and less time for your projects when you start adding kids into the equation. Just found this thread today and read all 37 pages. You are a motivated man with skills! Good job an can't wait to see it all cleaned up and ready for service as a DD.

Wow. Just read through the entire build, and that is all I can say. You are a fantastic fabricator, and I love what you did. Keep up the great work and congrats on the addition to the family!

thanks for the kind words !

i do have the intercoolers but i will be using them a little bit later down the road. as for accesories i have nothing from the porsche .
and the DME harness is more like a DME pile of melted plastic and copper

i know its been a while since i updated , but nothing much to report , been bust trying to get the camaro done and moving stuff so not much progress going on .

what i did manage to do is i finally got around to installing the bumper , and i finally got around to welding the tips in place (i just found out that the pics i took are crap , so sorry no pics for now )

i also got some new Xenon bulbs installed , but apparently there is a wire loose or a bad connection somewhere cause the passenger side doesn't want to work will have to dig into that some other time .

another thing i've been messing with was the guages : after i swapped the harness the water temp and the RPM guages decided to stop working . i'm assuming this is because of the different pinouts of the harness i put in. so right now i'm going back to the old pile and trying to figure out how the wires were routed and re wire them like that . can you feel the fun ??

i did score a used cluster from evilbay for a decent price , why you may ask?well i ordered a set of speedhut guages for the '70 camaro and i like how they look ,,,,, and was thinking why not just swap out the sock guages to something more custom ( speed hut can build /print anything you want on the guage faces , and they already have a "porsche" logo template i can put on the guages to make them look original , plus they come in the right sizes for the guage cluster , i just have to find a way to mount them
i know it mans i'll loose the information display on the cluster , but i can live without it ( its just telling me stuff i already know like : where the hell is your engine , and why is there no auto trans in me ), but i'm keeping this as a plan B if the stock ones don't work like i want them to.

i also finally took the seats to be redone , going with black leather to match the rest of the car and should have them finished in about 4 to 5 days. i'll get some pics as soon as i get the seats back. after that ( well some time after that ) i should be able to take it to the upholstering shop again to have them do the steering wheel and the rear carpet.
