Yeah, I still had my respirator and glasses on. I just wanted to be sure to document the process. I just wish I had snapped a pic before I even started so you could see what I started with

Posted by: sixnotfour May 10 2011, 12:09 AM

Great John,,,,,
pretty cealn and solid except for the mousepee,,, The Kid I had scrape out the tar got real good at it the warmer the day got.

Posted by: PeeGreen 914 May 10 2011, 12:21 AM

I'm glad he did that part as this part is still nasty.

Hope you're feeling better Jeff

Posted by: matteyp May 10 2011, 05:08 AM

Wait mice actually peed in your car jon?? That is just weird. I thought the peegreen was just cuz your car is pee green...silly me lol. I once found an entire family of baby mice inside the seat of one of my dads old bikes. That's the strangest ive seen ;p

Posted by: J P Stein May 10 2011, 06:49 AM

Be careful.
Haunta virus can be contracted by breathing in mouse droppings. It can ruin your life.

Posted by: sixnotfour May 10 2011, 07:30 AM

the 914 was flushed with clorox and pine-sol a year ago, its safe now .The person I bought it from told me he had cleaned it all up , well no the day before RRC years ago I found a dried up mouse on top of the 8 track player, Same guy that had the gas tank cleaned but didnt change fuel filter ? figured that out @rrc hotel.
, Then I saw the viper green 76 I have now and never looked back.

peegreen is a nice car except for the pee. I threw out all the interior also to avoid above nasty's

Posted by: sixnotfour May 10 2011, 07:43 AM

No peegreen 914

I tend to take personal charge of things my life depends on.....prolly a character flaw...... but I do plan to make 66 years old.

What are you even saying? 66? I thought you were way older than that Shoot, you're younger than my parents.

Looks awesome jon! Soon our cars will be rolling together!

Posted by: PeeGreen 914 Jun 13 2011, 12:29 PM

Hopefully Matt . I finished with the etching primer last night. Now I need to do the bed liner and then the paint. Soooooo close

Posted by: Root_Werks Jun 13 2011, 01:21 PM

Progress, cool!

Keep working away at it. Summer is almost here and 914 drive time is close at hand.

Posted by: PeeGreen 914 Jun 13 2011, 02:00 PM

Well, I am planning on driving this car to the WCR

Rubberized coating has been applied to the floor pans. Sorry for the blurry picture. Andy came up to take it for me

Looking good! Now do you lay paint right over that or is there another step for adhesion?

Posted by: PeeGreen 914 Jul 2 2011, 10:29 PM

You can. This stuff is really cool and allows for almost whatever you want to do.

Posted by: PeeGreen 914 Jul 5 2011, 09:25 PM

Floor is finally finished. Now I have to put the interior back together.

Jon,

Nice work! Exactly what brand of rubberized coating did you apply?

Thanks,

Posted by: PeeGreen 914 Jul 5 2011, 09:42 PM

It's called Raptor liner from U-Pol. It was $100 for the kit which included the gun to shoot the stuff. It's very easy to apply.

Posted by: JRust Jul 6 2011, 01:30 PM

What's with all those extra holes? Just you going crazy with your weight saving . The floor look great man

Posted by: PeeGreen 914 Jul 6 2011, 03:02 PM

Well, I saw this done in someone else's car and thought it looked cool. Yes, I want to save as much weight as I can but this was done more out of being silly .

This car is going to be at 1800 lbs with a hundred or so taken from up high and placed down low All in time.

Thanks for the compliment

Posted by: PeeGreen 914 Jul 12 2011, 10:11 AM

So I have very little to do to have the interior finished. Well, in the grand scheme of things. I wasn't sure what I was going to do for my steering wheel when my best friend handed me this:

...I was wondering where you were going with the new 914. What is your vision of this car Jon ?

Posted by: PeeGreen 914 Jul 12 2011, 10:41 AM

SCCA GP 1.8l 1800 lb 914 .

Hoping to campagne it next year but need the 1.8l engine built. The car is getting very close to where it needs to be but I only have the 2.0l in there for now. The 2.0l will at least give me an idea of how the car is handling until we get the 1.8l built right.

Posted by: PeeGreen 914 Jul 23 2011, 01:54 PM

Interior is very close now

This weekend I was able to finish up on the interior. I got the 5-point harness in and measured properly, Pedals inand cables attached, pedals board in. The interior if finished for now. I will bve taking out wires and relocating the battery to the interior in the future but not right now.

Nice work Mr.B

Posted by: Root_Werks Aug 22 2011, 01:33 PM

Looks clean! Surprised you didn't drive it to the BBQ yesterday.

Posted by: PeeGreen 914 Aug 22 2011, 02:02 PM

Needs wheels before I can drive it Getting close but I should be getting a package today with some suspension stuff to add on there. So it may be a little longer before it hits the road

Posted by: PeeGreen 914 Aug 22 2011, 06:15 PM

Well this could be interesting

Jon

What brand are your coilover callers?

Looks like a nice kit you found

Posted by: PeeGreen 914 Aug 22 2011, 08:10 PM

Rebel Racing. I purchased everything from Jonathan at GPR. He's a good source for this stuff

Posted by: jmill Aug 22 2011, 08:27 PM

I bought almost the same stuff with the exception of the rears. Let me know what you think of the Rebel front bushings. I just test fit mine and they are slightly larger than the A arm. Granted I bead blasted my arms and there isn't any paint on them. If I'm lucky the paint will snug them up a bit. Did GPR give you the bolts and special washers to go along with them?

On a side note Rebel is going to come out with a rear kit shortly. I'm waiting to see what they come up with before I go with the Elephant stuff.


Attached image(s)

Posted by: PeeGreen 914 Aug 22 2011, 08:33 PM

Yeah, Jonathan gave me everything

I would like to wait until Rebel comes out with the rear as he does very nice work and is a great guy, from what I am told. I just went with Elephant because Chuck does make nice stuff. I know a metalic bushing isn't ideal but it is good for now.

Rears are actually something custom from a local member... once he drops them off

Posted by: PeeGreen 914 Jul 13 2012, 11:49 PM

I haven't updated this in a while. Here is a picture I took today while I rolled it out of the garage. I'm waiting on a few things before I can take it out on the road but it is very close

This reminds me of a 72 Saab Sonett III I bought in Santa Fe a few years ago. It had been sitting on a farm and looked solid from underneath. What lurked under the carpet, in the dash, bellow the gas tank and about every place out of view gave me nightmares Pounds of mouse crap and dead mice every where The piss rusted the floors of coarse I stepped away, let the car sit a while before I decided to tackle it. I thought I got it all out, but failed to open the blower fan box. I got a nice dusting on my first real drive

Needless to say, the thought of the Hantavirus gave me plenty of anxiety the following weeks.

Posted by: PeeGreen 914 Jul 14 2012, 12:25 AM

I pulled two mice skeletons from out of the cross member of the rear. I have been told there where four or five others in the car as well. I guess it is really amazing that thecar has no rust issues in the main areas. This car could have been a gem for someone who cared to restore it. I like to autocross so it was screwed the second it went into my garage

Posted by: sixnotfour Jul 14 2012, 04:38 AM

Those wheels look Amazing

Posted by: PeeGreen 914 Jul 14 2012, 09:38 AM

Yes they do

Posted by: plays with cars Jul 29 2012, 11:45 AM

Hey Jon, what seat are you running? Contemplating options for my project. I was going to use a stock seat with modified bolsters but now I'm rethinking that direction.

Posted by: PeeGreen 914 Feb 5 2013, 03:34 PM

Hey Mark, running the Sparco Evo2.

So, It has been a while since I have been on here. The last four months have been a little busy as I have been remodeling my back garage into a master bedroom so we can get the kids into their own rooms. What use to be a garage now looks like this

The 914 is finally back in the remaining garage and I will get to start back working on it when I return from my trip to San Francisco next week.

Hey Jeff, any chance you will be able to help me soon?

You turned a garage into a bedroom?!?!? Isn't that some kind of crime?!?

Posted by: PeeGreen 914 Feb 5 2013, 06:01 PM

Yes, it should be, but I had to get my kids into separate rooms. Five year plan is to either build a shop in the back or rent out this house and buy one with the shop I need.

Posted by: balljoint Feb 5 2013, 06:10 PM

Answers a six month old question while he wanders in and acts like we're all supposed to know who he is.

Jon, you know it's part of the job to post pics of projects in progress so that we can *ahem* offer constructive advice, right?

Garage looks cozy by the way. Spilled oil will clean right off that floor I suppose?

Posted by: greenie Feb 5 2013, 08:22 PM

Why so many kids

Hi Jon,

Will you and the new car make the Ramble this year?

Posted by: sixnotfour Feb 5 2013, 09:02 PM

Bedroom looks great, next week ? lmk when your home.

Posted by: PeeGreen 914 Feb 6 2013, 10:35 AM

I should be home all next Friday and the weekend, including Monday, but during the week I'll be in San Fran.

If not next weekend soon Thanks Jeff

Posted by: PeeGreen 914 Feb 6 2013, 11:39 AM

There's a reason I didn't post pics

That and my brother, who is a lieutenant colonel in the US Army special forces was the one directing everything and floating the bill. I was simply following what he said to do. That whole he can kill me with his little finger thing and all . He's the oldest and I am the youngest in the family. He has been stationed out here for 6 months while he does some schooling. So this was his project really.

Hey Jon, you going to make it out to Bremerton this year? Car looks like its ready to go.

Posted by: PeeGreen 914 Feb 7 2013, 10:03 AM

Yes I will but not in my car. Not sure what I am going to drive this year actually. Maybe I'll find out Saturday.

My car should be ready in a few months.

Posted by: PeeGreen 914 Apr 1 2013, 03:06 PM

Found out what I'll be driving this year

The teener will be rolled out when it is ready. Not going to rush it.

Bought this M3 with the wifes blessing... prodding... so she can come out and autocross as well.

Peegreen will be on the road soon enough though...

Hey Jeff, any time the next few weeks? Finally have a little time free... sort of.

Posted by: audio_file Feb 3 2014, 05:45 PM

I've bought the PeeGreenMachine!!! (gonna have to find a better name, lol)

Thanks again to Jon, for being open minded to selling the car once he realized the M3 was going to be his go-to car for auto-xing. I am blessed to inherit a car that has so much work already done, and so many cool go-fast bits already included. I cant wait to get her finished, PNW teener folks should expect to see her on the road in the spring.
Big thanks also to Jeff- master fabricator, 914 transporter, car salesman, income tax expert, and one of the nicest and most knowledgable p-car folks I've met. I'm not just blowing smoke because there's a few more parts I need from him, I promise!

New pics and updates to come....

Chris @http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=13409 brought us his car to bring it back to life.
Sorry to say we found more rust and rodent damage after we began the fresh air blower delete. Looks like they camped out behind the dash.
Only one ugly spot. Under the right dash vent inside the trunk.

Had to stand on my head to patch that one. A few extra aches for a couple days.

Super In Law drilling holes for the bumper backdate.


Then onto adding the front nose section of the trunk seal channel. Plus a couple repairs.
Don't forget @http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=3348 has the channel strips available. Call, not on website.






Then onto a complete fresh air blower delete. Mad Dog block off kit. Custom dash cover with defrosters covered. Defrosters on dash sheet metal covered. Custom fresh air block off below screen.
