Jaffa- 1978 SC/3.2 hotrod

[Dragon]

Somewhere in deepest Co.Kerry - lots of driving before getting to work on seats /doorcards etc.this winter:

It is in Deepest Co Kerry - " Ballaghabeama Gap" - part of the 1977 Circuit of Ireland " Special Stages" Homage Run we did this year - superb - but not for the faint hearted !

Hmm white line up the middle, I suspect Tim Healy Pass, Ballaghbeama isn't wide enough for the white line AND a Porsche

So have spent last couple of months doing some "tweaks" on Jaffa [1978 SC with 84 3.2 motor-lots of US race parts]
Mechanically she has [nearly] everything [except maybe Brembo calipers?] so concentrating on some nice interior/exterior mods.
Rennline "dead" pedal added to Rennline footboards/pedals installed earlier in year.
Chrome Lifeline extingusher replacing Red one that I initially installed on Rennline seat bracket.
Twin vintage Heuer timers on glovbox lid.
Custom "outlaw" graphic on glovebox lid
Pre 67 chrome rearview mirror assembly to replace stick on IB mirror.
Custom "911SC" and "Jaffa" seat belt pads to match roll cage.
LED rear/brake light upgrade.







Next jobs
Recover RS door cards, door tops and ash tray in Cork Tan vinyl to match dash and rear trim.
Remove incredibly heavy power antenna [chucked out radio last year- have radio delete plate]-install antenna delete plate.
Install LED reversing lights.
Install LED instrument lights.
Install custom finished Porsche bonnet crest - to compliment rear custom 911 Jaffa SC badge on rear lid.
And some other cool stuff ...............

Jaffa now has side stripes- curtesy of Carbone in Poland

and super recovered seats and doorcards all done by Sarunas in Waterford, Ireland - excellent work, great guy.

Car is looking great, congrats

Spotted this on the Farnanes Road near Ovens on Sunday morning of the weekend just gone. Looked superb as it pulled out into the road ahead of me but more so the sound was fantastic, great job
Must have a browse back over this thread again to refresh myself with all the details...
