30 Day 818R Build Progress Report

Could the frame be modified by someone who could creatively weld to make vents work on 818S?

The door hinge mechanism is in the way. But anything is possible.

I hope something can be done. That door joint on car is one of two places i try not to show pictures of to people. The other is the large flat rearend.

Hmmmm! Very interesting.

The carbon headlight covers were just splashes we took off an old set of headlights, then we had to slot the nose, slide them down in the slot, and glue them on both sides, not something I think we could really sell and have people happy with. The door vents just rivit to the outside of the R door shells, basically set them inside the door, trace around the outside and then make your cut line an even 3/4 inch inside the tracing. If you wanted to use them for the S you could make them smaller with a fairly simple amount of fiberglass work, or have a body shop do it, but the same thing goes for the S as it did for these, if enough people want them we can make a mold. They would probably end up less than half the depth they are now but still that would make a difference.

Would love to see more pictures of the front door vent.

Would love to see more pictures of the front door vent.

Agreed. Can't tell if I want it on the S (smaller) from the pix I've seen so far.

Here are the best pictures I have.

Ha, great pix! Now I see it better. We would see it even better if was the same color as the door, maybe that's why I couldn't see it much before.

Well I'm in for the S (smaller ones), if the price is right.

[bbjones121]

Same. I am in for S version. ...or just new door panel
