It has arrived!!

[BobbyB]

Hello guys never introduced myself my name is Bob and I'm ready to join in the insanity. This is going to be father son project. My father and I have already built a MK III and it turned out good. I have been trying to con him into wanting to build one ever since we got the MK III. We operate a small salvage yard here in KY so we was able to obtain a wrecked corvette a little over a year ago with no intentions of building one but did mention doing it. The deciding factor was we were able to purchase a burnt 1988 911 turbo for the transaxle and the five thousand dollar increase. I have already sold a lot off the corvette to help offset the cost of the donor parts and the transaxle is basically free after selling the core engine. I'm sure we will be asking a lot of questions and also trying to let everybody know of any tips or tricks we learn. I just want to say thanks in advance. Here are some pictures of them unloading the gtm and some of the MK III we built.

Congrats! Keep us posted on the GTM build, roadster looks great!

[BobbyB]

Thank you to all. By the way if you know of anybody looking for a roadster that one is for sale.

[WIS89]

Bobby-

Well since you will be needing the garage space, and I am a pretty selfless guy, I have $40.00 CASH for that Roadster; we're talking CASH here!! I mean, it's the least I could do to make room in your garage so you can get started on the GTM; it's all about you buddy!! ;-o)

I think you will have little trouble selling the Roadster; she looks great! I love that color! Good luck with the sale, and also the build. It's got to be pretty cool building with your Dad, and I wish you the best.

Regards,

Steve

Its been a while since my last post. We have finally got started on the gtm. The car is in a roller now and motor and transmission is in. Had to make a crossmember for the 930 transaxle. We are working on a slave cylinder conversion now. Thankfully we have a cousin that works in a machine shop at a factory. He is helping design and make the bracket that is going to hold the slave cylinder. He already made us a bronze bushing that we used to center up the steering column. Here are a few progress pictures hope you enjoy.
