Pt.53: Porsche 911 Turbo (964) Replica. Finalising The Chassis For Final Assembly.

In todays episode, I seal the base of the chassis, and begin the final steps before final assembly.
My Porsche 911 (964) Turbo Replica, is a fibreglass kit car. It is built on top of a 1970's Volkswagen Type 1 Beetle chassis. The engine is a 1500cc air-cooled VW engine, with the original drivetrain and braking system.

Dude just please dont quit to share videos. There is people who care of the job you are do out there. Good luck.

[@datbuild]

Appreciate that. Really do. Definitely won't be stopping, unless my world completely comes apart. 😅 Anything's possible though.

[@air_cooled_andy]

Some good progress there DW, nice one 😎👍

Cheers Andy. 😁

Cheers Murphy!

G'day mate finally made it to your video. Been sick as a dog it must be going around.

[@datbuild]

Hopefully you're nearly fully recovered now. 👍

Good progress mate. I know the feeling of these projects. Mine is on it's way and its in even more of a state. The beetle I am using is still 500kms away that I have to go fetch so yeah... some suggestions, I see you use the pallet on some stands, build yourself a quick and dirty workbench - and put wheels under it. Cost next to nothing and you can even reuse that pallet for pieces. Keep it up man, would love to see this done.

[@datbuild]

Cheers! Haha, sounds like distance is your biggest headache. That's a fair journey!!! Thanks for the suggestion. The whole factor of the pallet and saw horses was reusing stuff from past work. The space I use is borrowed, and I will probably have to be out by end of September. So, building more just isn't on the cards. Would love a shed of my own, but yeah.

[@namtech425]

@@datbuild that sucks that you dont got a space of your own. But the work you do is great.

[@datbuild]

Thanks. 👍

[@bjroberts6521]

Thanks you have motivated me to get in the shed. So what if I don’t have benches set up, I can grab a pallet from somewhere. I did just pick up a solid core Door to use as a bench. However, I’m having second thoughts after seeing your round rubber bench have you patterned this? I truly was worried when I saw you marking the square tube on the brackets with the three holes in it that you weren’t going to screw into the holes. There is so much work to make new parts fit the application, keep up the good work.

[@datbuild]

Exactly! Make your own benches, tools, whatever you need. Makes it more fun (in my opinion). Sorry, what rubber bench? Yeah, there's a lot of trial and error that doesn't make the cut for the video. Namely as it would make the videos so long. I lost at least another 10 minutes of video (edited down), which translates to 4 hours of work. It's definitely a slow process.

@@datbuild "rubber bench" you make out a bracket on the tyre.

[@ianwalker7934]

Love to know the tally of what you have spent so far

[@datbuild]

I'm curious, but also... (kind of) don't care. It's a build of love, and spending money where needed to make it a cheap project. I've kept every receipt in a binder with that being said.

[@ianwalker7934]

Just thought it maybe interesting for people thinking about taking on a similar project

[@datbuild]

Granted. I just sit on the fence about disclosing anything to do with money. (Some small exception to that rule occasionally).
