A little about the project. In March 2007 i decided to build a 1973rsr replica as a fun retro weekend trackday toy. Here's answers to some popular questions people ask me;

It's using a mint condition Supersport as a donor car. You wouldn't throw this kind of money at a pile of rust ;)

It will have a 3.2 engine kicking out around 270 to 290BHP, and will look period

It will weigh around >1100kg. The front wings, bumpers, bonnet and tail will all be fibre glass. The interior has been stripped out and replaced with light weight materials and bucket seats.

Sun roof deleted, Full Bolt in roll cage, harnesses, strut brace, fat RSR Fuchs, xenons

Colour to be confirmed. I think i know the colour i want but every time i see another brightly coloured 911 i start to ponder. Whatever the colour it will be bright!

When will be it ready at best late August hopefully early September. But it depends on factors like shipping of items, issues with products for example both the bonnet and the duck tail had to go back because they were warped add another 2 weeks

regarding xenons, I have a full hid kit for my 86, but the bulb back is too deep for the bowl... just so you know... but i guess having fibreglass you can cut it without fear of the rust monster...

Also - not sure what colour you are thinking, now, apols for the link, i dont frequent the forum, a mate of mine is responsible for the painting...

http://www.gloynboyz.co.uk/photogallery/index.php?cat=17

its a super bright white, almost fluorescent... its what i'd paint mine if i ever felt the need :D

i'm jealous, its exactly what i'd want to do...
 
I see you've gone the board's "safe" colour then Simon :wink:

It was the current issue, in an article on early911. Not sure that there was anything different to what you have posted, but it might be worth a quick look.
