It’s been a tough year so I had to pause my build. My wife died of cancer only 50 years old and I have spent the year in sorrow and concentrating on our kids.
But now the project is on again. Thanks to all vendors that have supplied parts. Mostly good , but one part that I regret that I didn’t go for the original (due to cost) was the GT5s steel kit… it was a pain to get it aligned and fitted with correct measurements. It was not equal left and right and had a difference of approx 2 inches. And the front was terrible to get it to fit correctly. I think we spent at least approx 100 hours to redo the flares and make the correct alignment and measures… it would have been cheaper to just make them ourself. But now they are on and they now look great.
The engine (coyote 2016 gen 2) have been installed and fitted. Going for the Edelbrock proflo 4 plus to control the engine.
The Targa is fitted and we decided on a different approach for the fasteners and went with a special made lock that has to be screwed in place. To try to make it as tight and waterproof as possible. Guides and 4 screws/bolts.
In Jan we will start with the interior and continue to put the car together.
It now will have hydraulic power steering and a lift system in front. I had to modify the campy clone wheels and change offsets on the rear rims to get them in appropriate position, now looks great.
The car was painted a week ago and that was a nice Xmas gift, to finally get to the turning point and see how it will look like.
Merry Xmas
