Hello, I acquired a Black 55 Fiberfab wide body deluxe Speedster Californian that was manufactured and delivered in 1990. The entire contents is in original packaging besides the body. It included all paperwork, receipts, instructions, as well as a collection of magazines all with speedster specific articles in them. Everything has been preserved in climate controlled storage.
I have been restoring building modifying German, British, and Italian cars for some time and have experience with all aspects of the processes involved in working with cars.
I have had a few 911's and currently have a 66 912 among numerous other non-Porsche cars.
I have a few questions and would like to see if my recipe is on the right track.
I am shortening a very clean 75 standard type 1 vw chassis.
I have a late bay type 2 2.0 rebuilt long block.
I am installing adjusters on the beam and will run drop spindles as well.
I have a complete brake system off of a 924 turbo (931) or complete 993 set.
I have Koni's for all four corners.
I plan on running pretty low with 16" staggered Fuchs.
Any advice on:
where specifically to weld in the adjusters
how many splines to drop in the rear
advice on spacers or in general on wheel width
gel coat treatment to clean and polish it...marine supplies
2.0 type 2 engine fitment..stock tins...rear brace
trans choices 74 super 4 speed...5 speed 912....4 speed rancho built street trans
half moon racing (style) windshields
6 gauge Vintage (optional) cluster package that came with it...or VDO's from the collection
any advice, criticism, compliments, sarcasm, technical data, reference would be great.
