DIY oilcooler bracket and airscoop.
The olilines in the final instalation go over the driveshaft and the CSP shocktower brace / torque bar. With the type 4 the thermostat and oilfilter are on the case. The oil lines go to the oilcooler between the left carburator and the fanhousing. With the type 1 full flow system, the oilfilter is under the left rear taillight I fitted a sandwichplate between the oilfilter and mounting bracket, from there it goes to an inline bypass thermostat that is mounted between the left top shockmount and the gearbox.     No use in making it pretty, If I scrape it on a speedbump I can easily make a new one. This has not happened yet and it has worked perfectly for 3000 miles now.

This topic started with my black '75 1303. The titel of the topic is rolling rebuid, But it's not rolling at the moment. All the previous welding I did was to keep it on the street asap and street legal. That was done between 2008 and 2012. It was in storage for the last eight years. There were 3 options, sell it (not realy an option), keep patching it up or restore it completly. I went for the third option.
I will not bore everyone with sheet metal photo's (only this time). I will post the more interesting stuff when I start to rebuild with new brakes, 2056cc type 4 with Ahnendorp heads wih 42 and 36 mm valves and their forged counterweighted crankshaft, 260mm fan and GPP exhaust

245 / 40 / 17" The setup on the photo's in the rear is the 8,5"sport classic's with 245 tyres with 4 cm. spacers under 6 cm. wider rear fenders. Front is the same as mentioned before only the wheel is now a Sport Classic 1 instead of the Cup-2
 stock fender without spacers and the 8,5" ET50 17" Sport Classic 1 Last edited by Blizzard; June 9th 2020 at 13:58.

The 6 cm wider fiberglass fenders are bent out of shape from hanging on a wall for 8 years, thats why the fender does'nt follow the same radius as the tyre. On the pictures at Spa they are'nt even painted it's still the red gelcoat of the Kercher fenders luckely for me the same collor as the rest of the car.
The wheel mounted without spacers is to close to the springplate, so I have to use spacers. I had the 4 cm. spacers and the red gelcoat 6 cm. wider fenders so that was the fasted option to go and drive. I have several options, 2 cm. spacers and 4 cm wider fenders, or new 6 cm. wider fenders and paint those The black rear bumper is a Kercher fiberglass one to fit around the 6 cm. wider fenders.

No turbo yet, but I do have my '86 944 turbo front brakes complete.
I already had the spindles and calipers but was still looking for the hard to find and expencive '86 turbo hubs.  The spindles and hubs of a '86 944 turbo are 1 year only parts. I instaled a bumpsteer flip kit and drilled trough the axle for the speedometer cable. The spindle does not have the hump next to the strut mounting where the cable enters a beetle or 944 NA spindle so I welded on an inch of steel pipe to fit the rubber grommet to seal and protect the speedo cable.   When I finaly found set of hubs I could also buy the 28mm thick rotors. These are Zimmermann Sport / drilled rotors, the same as I already had on the rear wide alu trailing arms.

The black set of Porsche BBS Sport Classic 2 wheels were already sold but the seller had an other very nice set in Silver. The rear is 9J and the front is 7,5J.
Most sets of SC 2's are with a 10J wheel for the rear, thats to wide for me. There is a difference between the 17"and the 18" sport classic wheels, the 18" front wheels do not have room behind the center cap for the 944 dustcap and speedo cable. But that is easily fixed with a 10mm. spacer and longer wheel studs. The black 1303 already has the wider flared fenders to fit these wheels with the 10mm. spacers.  Keep them silver or paint them black or red? I'm thinking of having red accents on the black 1303 like the rollcage, 4 point harness, suede red OMP steeringwheel The Porsche brembo callipers will stay black.

Red will be too red.
Black would match the trims on the car, but then again, the details of the rim will disapear. Gold with a polished lip, just like Bogara said and Wally has/had on the Mythbuster :P. Red with gold is also a nice combo. Though choice.....Luckily not my choice :P

The new 18" wheels are for the black 1303. It will have 2 OMP race bucket seats and a red rollcage. So it stands out no matter what color wheels I put under the thing I personaly still lean towards red centers and original clear coated alu. lips. No gold BBS for me.
got my inspiration from these 2, and other black GT's and RS's with red wheels
