Some update, on behalf of Serge... "Today morning, I wake up early, happy of this nice day to come, not even cold, altought we're in mid december... All is ready this morning, for the engine now to take place in the GT. There's theory, and real life, I'm gonna see there's a difference...

I maybe wrong but I've seen a picture of the cockpit of one of these cars few years ago, and as far as I remember the inner doors are not done the same as RCR. They have a kind of recess on border. A GTD/SGT/Tornado set of boxes should fit IMHO...

What a disappointment to have no more chance to see this splendid work of art turn into a completed race car... Altough, hope the new owner will show us what will became of this beauty. Thanks for having shared those detailed pictures, and good luck for your next project.

Sorry Michel to add to this thread drift, that deserves your fantastic work, but I have to say to Jacques I disagree with him on that point... Jacques, I fully respect who owns, carefully and jealously keeps and use respectfully any testimony of the past human engineering hability (I do...

Re: MIRAGE AUTOMOTIVE - Doc Watson's car Wow, very nice jewelry ! :heart:

If you love 917, here are some pics of the incredible car that had just stopped behind me, as I'was working on a fuel leak on my friend's GT40 in the pits of Le Castellet track, last sunday. Put off the wrenches, to have a look at this "thing" ! 1300hp (I was said ! ), and it seemed to be...

Calling that book a "workshop manual" sounds like a twist of British humour...

I have to add that, with Serge we found evidences that the car was originally fitted with a real period correct GT40 289 engine, and we are sure it had initially a 4 bolts dash-1 ZF. When Serge bought the car, engine and gearbox were missing. Now they are probably powering a splendid and...

On behalf of Serge, a pic of some lovely girling calipers, now fitted back on the car.

I can add that this rear wheels are huge 14x15"... Hard to find road legal tires for such size !

Bonjour René, Which gulf colours combo will you chose...? The paint schemes were different between the 3 cars competing at Le Mans. 1075 with the orange "moustache" 1074 with the orange stripe (like my car you've seen at Le Mans Classic) 1076 with the orange triangle on the front hood, that...

There must be some rednecks also here in Europe... Ford ? (well, at least a V8 with a ford labelled air filter !... and ZF gearbox.)

Thanks a lot James :thumbsup: , I've just shot them an inquiry by mail... Hope they have something I could deal for.

Hi all, I've always loved the look of the "tower" oil cooler which I've seen on few SPF GT40s, like the one pictured below. I'd like to put one on my car. They desperately look like vintage Harrison 12-Bolts oil coolers, used on continental air-cooled aircraft engines, but I suppose that some...

It seems to me that the rear bracket is almost the same than the front one (strip of alu, 2 bolts as you noticed), maybe just lightly bent at one end, where a loop in the cable engages, to clear the fiberglass...

Let's try this one, 1076... :smart: Sorry, a little bit too far :shrug:

Here, on 1074.:thumbsup:

Welcome ! Got a GTD too... had lot of fun with it last sunday !

May I help for translation, and add few details to the story... Serge means that the guys who restored his wheels (aluminum) machined one of them a little bit too much, as it was in poor condition. Setting back the old tires on the wheels, just to move the car more easily in the workshop...
