How are we going to build this??? 5 CYLINDER TURBO PORSCHE RESTOMOD!

This episode we introduce Hunters 5 cylinder powered Carbon body Porsche 924 Project!

Hunter brought this 924 about one and a half years ago from a scrap metal yard right before it was going to get crushed. We went on a 8hr return roadie to go get it.
It lived at his flat for 8 months while he stripped it, built the carbon roof and collected parts. Then it took it to the workshop after we moved into the new sheds and had somewhere to put it.
Since then we have shaped the body conceptually, cut the old steel roof off, and gathered more parts like the motor and wheels.
We are now getting into the swing of the project and thought we should share it!

The engine is a B5254T3 2.5L 5 pot turbo which we got from a Volvo S40 T5 which was stripped in Hunters home garage. These engines also came in the Ford Focus ST/RS Mk2.
People have built these motors to produce over 1000hp on numerous occasions but we are aiming for eventually 600hp.
We are planning on sending this power to the rear wheels via a Corvette T56 Transaxle.

We are trying to build this car as light as possible with an eventual weight goal of 850kg. One of the main ways we are going to dump weight is by switching out every steel panel we possibly can with Carbon fibre.
Since we are building new panels, we also thought we could try improve the look by making subtle changes to body lines.
We hope to keep the car looking like a 924, but when its side by side with a standard car they will look totally different.

We are NOT building this as a race car. It will be a fully street legal Restomod built in the same fashion and incredible quality of those like AlphaHolics, Retropower, and those types of builders.

We think this is an epic never-been-done-before build and we invite you to follow along on the journey!
