Body

All body panels have been replaced with Kevlar except for the doors (which are new) and rear bonnet.
The pattern was made from plastic padding and hardboard. The mould was then taken from the pattern in 19 separate pieces, all edges having a return on them. The body panels comprising of a one piece front and rear was then moulded from Kevlar. Mounting points were then locally moulded into the body.
The body took 3 years to complete.
Pop up headlights were incorporated, original motors were retained.
All rubbers and trim are new.

Creating the body from plastic padding, the front is based on a 935. I had a picture in a magazine which I measured and then scaled. A1/4 ton of padding was used in total.
Nearing completion.
Laying the mould proper.
All 19 pieces mounted to a steel frame for support.
Removing the body proper from the mould. An extremely satisfying moment.
Smashing up the pattern. It had to be done!
Pop up headlights.
