904-090
October 1, 2003
Putting
the pieces together.
Jack is
finishing the back side of the firewall.
The insides
of the front wheel wells are finished.
Doing
the final structural repair on the door jams.
Next,
the battery divider and latch panel will be installed.
Jack has
repaired the saddles for the dashboard.
The center battery divider needs to be repaired because there
are corners missing.
I used
epoxy and s-weave to repair the lower corner. The epoxy sticks
to the plastic.
The arrows
point out the holes that hold the oil line. The finished picture
is a paint match to the original plastic, which is Porsche
dolphin gray. I have seen this divider light gray, dark gray,
and a medium green in prior 904s that we have repaired and
restored. Undoubtedly, there was no quality control on the
colors of the plastic parts that were glued in the 904 chassis.
Jack is
re strengthening the rubber seal rails. They were cracked
up from years of racing.
The bulkhead
beneath the knees has also been repaired.
This fiberglass panel provides extra torsional strength.
Jack has
applied the patches in the deep reaches under the dash.
