Maybe if I paint it blue they won't notice !!
Yes, I know it's not legal - my intention is to use it for the Danish Hillclimp series in the open class and maybe some invitational events where they have very relaxed ruling.
I'll need yet another engine if I'll do the historic races
.
Do you mean a German car ? 
OK, I'm trying to get back into this project and find the time and motivation to carry on. So, here's a few updates I did sometime ago:
The factory gr4 cars had aluminum skins on the headlightbuckets, so I thought I would wan't that too :-). From an old rusty set of buckets, I made this set of lightweight headlight buckets with aluminum skin and all excess metal cut off.

Again, as the factory cars ran quicker ratio steering (2.4) I wanted to add that to the car.
Thus, we did the "goodroc" quickrack steering rack conversion using a new Ford Escort MK1/Mk2 Heavy Duty short stem 2.4 ratio rack from Burton Power in the UK.
As described in Goodroc's thread, this conversion requires a little machining of the housing. Will be interesting to experiment with the position of the rack to evaluate the effect on bumpsteer.

Looking great, Kristian! Get motivated. Look how far you've come. When are you expecting to have her on a track?

Those are sexy! And you will be able to show them off looking very great for quite a while before you get road-grime on them!
PS> I really enjoy this thread. You are doing great work.

looks like you got plenty of ZF´s..Push

Wow! That's impressive that you can fit 8-piston calipers inside the 15" wheel. Well done!

Well, I suppose I was motivated enough to invest quite substantially in a set of high-end Intrax race coilovers specifically set-up for my car and it's expected use !
Great choice! The one thing I did different, was to have them set up in colors to my taste, as flashy colors do not fit a 71 car imo ;-)

The calipers were originally designed as F1 calipers in the early seventies, so they are designed to fit inside 13" wheels (I think that is what is used in F1?). Detomaso at some point in 1974-75 decided that they would homologate them for the Pantera.
Kid, you're right about the color of the coilovers, I should have thought about that !! :-). Red goes with the exterior of the car !!. What version of the intrax shocks are you using?

1K2 with titan coating. Back then I just asked whether a black/grey finish was possible, which was, and as far as I can remember, at no extra cost (my invoice doesn't mention it as an extra neither). :-)
