G28 - Simple Mans, Simple REDO of an G28 LP640

[Simple Man]

long story short here is my rough in of the behind the seat area have a few modifications still to make.  Then make the final parts. Then permanent attachment points.

I learned a lot doing this 

[Simple Man]

these is kinda what I want for the rear wall.

so made some parts....  these parts were modified a bunch of times. 

[Simple Man]

In looking at some OEM pictures and going to look at a LP640 in person I didnt like what I was doing so I started over.

I also found that the opening for the rear window was way out of....lets just say they used a sawsall or something to make a cut so jagged!   

so that had to be fixed.

Thank you!  Enjoying your build too! 

Can you give the specs on your new Wilwood brakes.  Maybe you could post a few pics of them too.     I was planing on going with the Wilwoods as well.

I read about your experience on Pennocks, I like your build!

to answer a question on the brakes they are 6 piston front 4 rears

They are wildwood calipers

[Simple Man]

for the rear window area I wanted to try for a more OEM look rather than a carpeted wall.

So I bought some sheets of fiberglass modeling foam, and now I get an email from them everyday!

the foam is easy to cut, glue, sand and sand

[Simple Man]

For my firewall or rear window area I wanted to try to get a more oem look, instead of covering in carpet or a plain fiber glass panel.

But first I had to remove the rebar...

I did use it in some concrete I laid when I put my power to my shop undergound

[Simple Man]

then the length of the inner door sill cover was increased by 2-3 inches or so.

[Simple Man]

for me fiberglass stops itching in about 9 hours..

fixed the gap from the inner door sill cover up by the qtr window, using fiberglass CSM, then dyna glass the rage gold.

[Simple Man]

I added a bolster or what ever it is called to the inner door sill cover, Thanks Auto pro!

Modification had to made to the car, grinding metal removes fiberglass goop...and spray in insulation.

Basically every where I looked there was some clean up to my car

[Simple Man]

While waiting on suspension I have been working on the interior.  I purchased a set on door sill covers from IKR. fast speedy delivery and they will work nicely.

picture of the inner door sill cover.

oops, the story of my life a couple of inches short 

also not quite a good transition to the qtr window

and area below the qtr window

You have to keep prodding Richard....eventually he'll send them.  Once I finally received mine, however, they looked great but I found that one set of balljoints (uppers or lowers...can't remember which) wouldn't fit properly.  They weren't drilled deep enough.  The downside is that this is a tapered hole, so you need a special drill bit.  I didn't dare return them to Richard...didn't know when I'd get them back so I just ended up getting the bit and drilling them myself.  Hopefully you don't encounter this...when they do finally arrive.

The six weeks that was told / sold on the Suspension system drop spindles and brakes has turn into almost 7 months (9 more days)

Still missing the front spindles    Richard is a nice enough guy to talk to but for Ducks sake get the it done!!

So are we making bets that it will be 8 months when the spindles come in?
