gents all in good time... project tuityfruity aka TANGent aka oh dear... is about to take a U turn and I'm in needing of some quality build input here gents... post your musings, your doodles, your late nights stirrings... I'm equal opportunity, no gender bias here,  so come one... roll up, roll up here is no place for Sunday morning Q's.., here ask yourself not what Putin would do,  but tell me in no uncertain terms, what you would do if so badly  provoked. We are all driven by our baser programmed  instincts - thirst, hunger, pain, sex   and compelling forces are at work within us. There are two constituents of a primordial emotion--the specific sensation which when severe may be imperious, and the compelling intention for gratification... If you need it.  further reading on the primordial brain http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/18701321/ So where does that leave us. Could it be a G series backdate  hottie -  think Kylie Minogues hot pants https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qaGS3Uts704 or something more subdued? Nuanced ? Subtle ? I'm thinking though about another colour change .... maybe back to silver ... SO let's storyboard this baby post em ramblings post em pics - I won't kiss n tell I. won't mock (well a little) It's a lovely Sunday morning Edited 1August, 2015 by michel

This thing is so cool.

68 Hotrod you might like http://rennlist.com/forums/912-forum/800487-my-68-hotrod-project.html

I wish you hadn't have asked this. What I would do... Keep it G series in appearance, remove the rear over riders and the bottom half off the rear spoiler which would leave room to fit centre exit poo shooters. Carrera front end 16x9 Fuchs black centres with polished hoops, 235 rubber in the rear. No spoiler and keep the oil lines exposed Wrong bumpers on the below green example, OEM corners and 'delete' the duck tail (or perhaps keep) but a lot like this: Colour should be something fantastic from the 70's. I'd be happy with the tangerine you but would also consider signal green or the light yellow. Keep the interior stripped, minimal carpet except for the foot wells, cushion pads installed in the rear, RS door cards, etc. Cobra Classic RS seat

colour options? stay orange? colour change to some other colour e.g. leaf green, or return to its original silver metallic - choices. either way i will be adding back body/sound deadener to the car. got a few current seat options though not settled on these - so if you have other seat thoughts let me know or have any seats let me know - PM's please GT3 (thx kelly) Repro Sports RECAROS - by Vintage.  black leatherette - though after having tartan in the sporto would add fabric inserts. Recaro Rallye 2 - hard to find 72-73 year model only. these maybe familiar to some hot rod afficiandos..whose using seats styled like these now? pics  indicative only mine need refurb anyone guess what these puppies are? have two sets black black and these guys other chair ideas welcomed - got any kookie seats not wanted PM me wheel options steel? fucks? BBS? borbets other? have  access to BBS - what are these called? 16 x7 fuchs 15 x7, 8's one technomagnesio anyone have 3 more? 15 x 6 steelies silver 15 x 5.5 steelies silver 15 x4.5  steelies (red) with white walls Edited 3August, 2015 by michel

Well I'm partial to steelies with a deep dish, preferably the 944 spares that have the round holes. Like the last set of seats there, as being an earlier car, I think big race seats look a bit over the top and unsuited, yet I would fit the Recaro's My favourite Porsche colour is Silver Mink, with Kermit green second, so if I was to build a custom 911, it would be either of those colours. Orange is cool though. All in all, I would build the green car above without the duck tail, yet painted silver with a period race car feel to it. An ST basically Keep me in mind if you want to unload some 15 x 6 steelies too. Or if you have x 2 15 x 5.5's. I need 2 more

Quotes source post: 125522

good Q. though judging by engine bay  Im guessing interior may not have looked as perky?

Looks to be pretty well stripped out. So probably only double....

Ok - colour choice time leave fruity orange - though put a new colour coat and clear down. Return to silver metallic - ho hum purdey, But correct chartreuse - hmm leif green golden green any other colour thoughts ? Front end treatment - current styling ...a bit bluff.  let's say it needs changing. IROC  ? modified IROC? Std? other send in pics

Signal orange '74 3.0 RS

My vote is to leave orange but a pearl coat before the clear

Quotes source post: 126602

From my experience it is very hard to make a pearl over orange look good. It usually makes the orange look like more of a brown (and as a 3 layer pearl it is very hard to to get it looking even all over and not mottled). For my money I would leave it orange. Considering you have already started. I have the same dilema, I was pretty much sold on painting my car orange but that Chartruese has me thinking.... Edited 12August, 2015 by MFX

Man that orange is awesome. Leave as is! I’d paint my car Conti Orange in a hot minute!

Bumpers: Getty design (yellowbird style) RUF Bumper

Not much happened - rubbed back (almost) some detailing and clean up to do before the colour happens Going to cut out and re-fab the front strut bracing - change the section profile possibly make it removable. Another thought was to make it a solid (removable) bulkhead ala sud & 914 Brackets to weld in for fuel systems etc mods to dash face still to finalise front and rear treatment ready for paint if anyone has a bolt in half cage let us know cheers Edited 2October, 2015 by michel

So have you worked out what colour you are going to paint it yet? I see you have gone with silver interior, is that to be the theme throughout?

I WANT/NEED FRONT REAR BUMPERS - WHO HAS GOT ANY a little more silvery moon still more to do

Looking good Michael. What is the white? Is that a Hammertone finish? I am contemplating wether I go that far with my stripping at the moment. I am thinking I will probably leave the wiring in the car and mask it up , as I am not sure if I am keen enough to go to the effort of pulling it all out and then putting it all back in.

Some rear end action had thought the project would wear elephant, but had these handy

Hmmm.  I wish I could just happen to have stuff like this "handy"

Its good stuff, I have put the same in my project!

Looking awesome Michael!

WANTED  early heat exchangers -std or SSI WANTED nasty exhaust let me know  what you got

Bumpers arrived - good stuff. mike tankard  brackets to mount been fabbed as mike supplies without Otherwise slow boat Once bumpers fitted up shell will have colour  on external Edited 9February, 2016 by michel

Looks like you have been busy. Looking good.

Quotes source post: 149432

You missed your shoes mate , they have to match and be silver too

Mmmm, silver, mmmmm. Looking forward to this one!

Project is glacial, though have been made aware of an interesting  car, so to fund the buy I'm open for discussion on the sale of TANGent cheers michel Edited 11April, 2016 by michel

I am not that interested in the shell, but if you have any interesting engines lying around.... (you showed some photo's of one the other day that I could get out of your hair).

gday jeff I've only got the matching numbers engine that comes with the car and of course the hotter motor you saw some pics of. I do have some other bits n bobs but not complete motors.

Look you need to keep the matching numbers engine with the car. I will happily save you the storage space and take that pesky hot engine off your hands ?

so having managed to locate my painter as he seemed to go AWOL on some  other mates projects, I'm feeling a little less project fatigued. . Backed him into corner and told him to start painting. He has all the special order mike tankard bits, though am looking for a ducktail. might see a fully painted silver narrow body IROC confection in the next month or so. I'm hoping.

Bit of progress. Mike Tankard custom Front n Rear IROC bumpers  almost refitted. Ill post some pics

how did the bumpers fit? much jiggling needed?

Quotes source post: 166884

Hopefully less jiggling than mine

Fair bit of jiggling. Back fitted up, though some fettling needed. Front been pulled off and been redone u Edited 20June, 2016 by michel

That looks really well done. Is that aluminium? I was thinking I should have done something like that on mine, but I can't do it with the factory impact shocks as they are far too long.

Alum

Few extra behind the scenes pics of the rear

Slight hold up at the front is to do with remaking the section that retains the smile. This was previously removed to allow some funky front spoiler fitment.

coilovers with raised spindles may be fitted.  Not absolutely needed as the suspension on the car is good. But tangent has  the mods to the tub for it - option. Having the set up (valving etc tuned and arms adjusted for camber/bump) checked by an Ex F1 suspension guru /fabricator who works on a farm about 5mins from my place. -'also selling the red 4.5 inch red steelies and near new white walls seen earlier in the thread As exterior is grinding forward , thoughts on the interior come to mind. Any thoughts post them here. Do like a lot of the 356 bomber interiors, though IMO a direct copy wouldn't translate well ... So silver 'narrow body IROC exterior with? I know there's more than one soft furnishings dilettante operating on this forum. Post up some pics Edited 17July, 2016 by michel

the only thing Jeffs and my project have in common is a colour.  Enjoying watching the progress, far more than my incursion. Being looking at the front of my car and trying to resolve the Mike Tankard fitment issue . Rear bumper all nice and snug,  fitted 95%, however the line of the flare from the rear needs adjusting as it moves from the body through the rear number. Another strut /stiffening. Front is a bit more problematic as was intending to fit it without the 'smile' however mike trimmed a lot of the glass at the top of the bumper meaning a 40mm gab between bumper and and body. Got two solutions and neither are that quick. Will post pics of the bumper as interested to see thoughts on the position, if I push the front in by 40mm - certainly not as 'clutch cargo, Also width of bumper due to not having big front flares, has meant going to have to section  the bumper and re-glass it. I'll post a Cpl pics Edited 25July, 2016 by michel

How are you going with that front bar placement Michel?

Good stuff michel ,Hangin out to see the end result

Quotes source post: 174985

Thx tomo - thinking of getting a 457 visa for MFX and putting him to work.... Been laxy I'll post a few pics I'm not .... Been trying all sorts of tricks to make it conform. Though as front end doesn't have 'flair', given up and thin blade now to be deployed and many cuts later may  work

Silver and black is a great combo.  I saw a '69 Camaro in the scheme and it looked amazing.

I think that 911R might be in Fashion Grey, but I must say I like the steel wheel look even better than black wheels.

PICTURES…. the words are getting in the way .. Instagratification ..ADHD child awaits stimulation

Interior or sound deadened and seam sealed and silver again custom narrow body IROC front rear bumpers also having myriad of small adjustments made to ensure the fitment is as good as can be made ... Not simple and there'll be more than 75 hours alone in the fitting adjustment cut shut of these. Also I'm recessing the front bumper to delete the smile. More hours. Edited 8September, 2016 by michel

Looks like hours of fun for the whole family

Haha... Wait till I start hand stitching leather over the cage .. as modifying the front to do a smile delete also reinforced the top edge of the bumper with ally so the glass is supported and sits flat One thing I recently learnt about a full cage is it becomes feasible if integrated within the interior upholstery..... Edited 8September, 2016 by michel

Quotes source post: 179598

That is very interesting. Maybe not for my 911, but for one of my other projects it could be very useful...

Gives an idea how recessed the bumper will be from std Edited 8September, 2016 by michel

Thin blade - recessing  the bumper to delete the smile , also will allow to fix up the clumsy transition from arch to bumper seen in the above pic Edited 10September, 2016 by michel

Left over from painting the roof guttering. Slate grey next time ;-)

Have been seriously considering GBM for my hotrod.  Great colour and as usual with Porsches it varies so much with light.

Mine still be dull silver ... Though not done finished talking to the painter

prompted by @9er tangent has languished awhile (as I have) , and  final body and colour was entrusted to Jason Storey.; excellent body/paint guy and very responsible for Paul Fords RS’ evocation  Last for sale at Bowden’s?   So fingers crossed with Jason getting back on track , tangent. will be in final bright metallic silver and with running gear installed before I’m 53 will provide a more comprehensive update on  What will hopefully be final spec and am needing some parts/components  to complete suspension brakes induction wiring harness to name a few things

Hernia aka tangent now in the hands of Trung  of Powderhouse in Marrickville https://instagram.com/_powderhouse?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Work never got far with Jason. Sadly he had some health issues and no longer does body paint work . so post covid and post excuses … did  a hell road trip - Gympie /gladstone return and had a teary moment as the roller door https://www.instagram.com/reel/ChR6dFbpv131bFTa_vBYxvb9KDat3y92Jl0Ncw0/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= on the storage was opened to me, years had gone past and not seen it sat on its dolly, ass turned to me , boxes and parts on the floor loaded it all up  on the trailer.and happily nothing fell off on the return Trung, is a passionate and skilled painter and car guy and going the extra mile , on this job  - couldn’t be happier , he’s more ecstatic than me highly recommend Trung . Looking for parts . So if you got stuff hidden away ….

Awkward moment .. lost an arm wrestle … true to name and farce it is .. another colour deviantation .. beers bent and storyboard night @powderhoise too follow
