Sweet mercy, can't you just see my genuine excitement over all this...

Really though, I can't stop working on it. The only reason I posted this is cause I had to come inside and eat a sammich before I passed out!

I know, right? Too bad Joe's Garage was taken.

I posted a better one on The Samba...

hey Yetibone, your car looks great, well done!

those are early aluminium rear trailing arms, right? and Boxster wheels? The offset on those rear wheels is ET50mm right? How much wider than stock are the rear wings (fenders) you have on?

thanks and best of luck with the finish

That's right.

I have 38mm spacers, and the fenders are 76mm wider on each side. With the late 951 arms, you would have very close to the same look, without the spacers.

Wheels would have been 1.5" ('bout 76mm) too far in under those CCC rear fenders. I wanted the car wider at both ends. I really wanted it 3" total in front, and 6" total in the rear, but Had to settle for 4" wider in front because CCC didn't make a 1.5" wider front fender.

Now I need about 7/8" (22mm) front spacers to make me happy.
