Nice ride man. I like the color you chose to go with. Do you have a big stero in there, just wondering since I saw the alternator sitting next to the cooling fan. Post some pics of you modified firewall, I chopped mine up and moved it in and am now trying to figure out the best way to avoid hot air from re-entering the engine bay.

Sweet ride. Dig that airdam. Are your handles painted or powder coated?

thanks for your comments dudes!

no, I donīt have any stereo-things.......itīs not so quiet car....
alternator is mounted that way because the cooling fan is different from Porscheīs and that stuff and that Deutz-fan doesnīt have an alternator....so I decided to use a small Denso -unit for that stuff.......

all blacked parts are just painted....not so good way to do that..... Maybe Iīll powdercoat all handles and that ex-chrome stuff later when the paint is getting off....

interior in the works -mode:
I have now a suede leather Sparco steeringwheel and those pressure gauges werenīt never in use, because I didnīt have time to make them work for now....maybe next summer with new engine....

I donīt have any pics of my firewall where engine isnīt it place....but that luggage-space behind rear seat has been turn upside-down....so that the real firewall is now in place where the rear seat should be. I can take a picture in a week or two when I remove the engine.....

More comments & suggestions are welcome.
