Speak to Alan Barker from EMP engineering, they weld both aluminium and magnesium crankcases - he'll advise on best way forwards.

i'Ve done both a sunroof and non sunroof and the sunroof car was easier to do in my opinion neither overly difficult.

Keith, correct me if I'm wrong was the VW Bus owned by Jamie Oliver and featured a 911 engine?

I remember it well as was racing in the PCGB club championship race - my first venture at racing in England and a bit of a change from Kirkistown and Mondello Park.. Great weekend.

Firstly it depends if the 1975 2.7S is US specification or Euro. The US 75 engines had many issues.... I have a 74 US spec Carrera 2.7 US spec, the 74 engines didn't have the issues the 75 US engines had, incidentally the same car model Clive had stolen in France. More info on the car would be good....

Agree with both follow up posts, its a new world and events will run but the format has yet to be devised, my industry (Events) are the most creative at working through these sort of issues - so it will happen. But football, rugby etc. have the same issues can anyone see Wembley, Twickenham, Aviva -...

As a side bar I'm building a lockdown man...

+1 for Harald

Speak to your local paint / body shop. The guys we have beside us in belfast once did a job with clear primer. I'd suggest there is a clear primer and top coat on the market that will do your job.

Hi Stephen - if you can be more specific I might be able to help, i.e. what car are you trying to build? The app J is on the FIA website so easy to download for each year, so what is the query?
