Haven't posted on here much as I've not run with NASA yet. (Will likely try funding willing this year)

Last year the rolling turd was a portly 2780 pounds with me in the car. I'm a heavy guy at 250-260 depending on food intake so I was targeting 2350 for a final weight. I also want to run the Kohler Vintage race at Road America so I needed to install a fuel cell as the steel tank is not legal in vintage events. And I procured an 88 LSD tranny over winter so that went in as well.

After a couple hard months here is where we are.

She weighs in at 2301 with 1 gallon of fuel in the tank and I'm just about ready to roll. First event is a PCA event at Topeka, wish I could do the RA event but just to close to do a back to back run.

Start of the Fuel Cell being fitted up. It was designed to just fit in place on a late 944/951/968, with the early car, I converted the transmission mount to a late mount in lieu of the welded in bar for early cars.

Nice redo all around.

Why all the switches to the left of the steering wheel?
-Two fan switches? and......

Funny, I have my ignition switch and push to start switch in the same place as you.
