Default A Few MORE Humpty Dumpty Pictures

Not the sharpest but, nonetheless, possibly interesting.

Wow Robert, your work is amazing. Are the two blue -AN fittings on the left side of the trunk oil lines running to a front mounted cooler?

Actually, two front mounted oil coolers.

Also, as a point of interest, the battery/starter/alternator cable is aluminum, the first known such use in a Porsche.

Robert,

Have to say I don't like the interior but the trunk looks amazing!

How are you running the oil lines & do you have two extra coolers or one stock & one extra?
And where are they (or it) located? Any more pics of oil cooler setup?

Thanks.

On the way to the airport. Will comment on details when I return next week. As to the interior, it is a matter of personal taste. When Harm Lagaay did the Panamericana for Dr. Porsche and this car for me, there was quite a bit of controversy about the purple and green (actially the green has six different colors hand silkscreened into it) but I like it.

Wow, I'm speechless. That has to be the most beautiful thing I've seen in months.

I'm suprised to see the shifter doesn't have a carbon body.

Also, very interesting usage of the wiggins clamp on the fuel cell.

Finn:

In response to the oil system questions -- pictures taken before new wiring installed and before fasteners changed to titanium.

Thank you. But, in fact, I deserve but the smallest amount of note. The real credit goes to the more than 165 engineers, technicians and others who worked on this project.
