Eaton's 818C Build - Power Window Modifications

[Mark Eaton]

Last Tuesday the Stewart transport truck showed up with our 818C kit. My son Nick and I were ready to go!

This will be my second FFR build. I took possession of an MK4 Complete kit 8/2017. It was street legal 2/2020, not yet graduated. I have about 3500 miles on it and love the vehicle. The MK4 project is somewhat on hold in order to pursue this 818C project with my 14yo son, Nick. Long story short Nick came to me in August to discuss his options for a car when he turns 16. He asked me if we could restore an old vehicle , specifically a Porsche. We kicked things around a bit but when I showed him the 818 he immediately jumped on the idea.

In September we bought the donor, a 2006 Impreza



Had a good time disassembling it





I think the day Stewart Transport showed up with the kit will live in both our memories forever.





I will say that the experience so far has been very positive for both of us. Every weekend that I don't have to work we head out to the shop and chip away.
