As usual these kits require lots of fiddling but provide lots of detail.
The flat 6 detail includes plugs, fuel rails and the alternator drive belt.
These engines had water-cooled cylinder heads and air-to-water intercoolers, Porsche having concluded there was an upper limit on power output from an air-cooled engine. However, I suspect there remained some air cooling of cylinder barrels.
I've left the exhaust tips for when this is all in the chassis, to be sure it all lines up with the holes in the body sides. A couple of other bits will also wait to ensure it all lines up properly.
Rear upper suspension components including coil-overs are done and attached to the gearbox. The cockpit cell is next, with associated front suspension components.
Coil-overs, anti-roll bar and lower A-arms are complete. Hubs and upper A-arms are next. There are a lot of sheet metal parts that are made by bending photo-etched sheet, including the shock towers.
Once the front suspension is complete, cockpit cell, engine and gearbox get glued together and inserted into the floorpan.
Stay tuned, progress is being made.
