914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Taylor's new car thanks to Wes Pt 2

Well a few of you may have followed the original thread, and we have come a long way. Carry and super-inlaw were invaluable in this story. You can see the original progress here -

So it's time to start putting this thing together. It still needs seam sealer and some paint, but we used the Raptor tint-able bed liner on the bottom and wheel wells, and have a gallon + of paint mixed so the color will be consistent. We have shot the headlight buckets and much of the underside so we should be able to begin assembly in about 2 weeks.

I just wanted to share the progress and help to give Taylor some motivation to get this completed as I can only do so much.

This is where all the real fun begins as you put her back together and get her running.

We are disassembling the suspension now and will be sending out for powder coating. That and cleaning up the engine tin and bits.

So clean... look forward to this coming together!

deceivingly so We still have a few places we needed to do seam sealer that we will have to do / redo and shoot a little paint onto, but that will only take a day or two.

Super nice Mark! Taylor is a fortunate young man. Looking forward to seeing it in paint and assembled. Seems like there might be some tax advantage if it were the company car.

Unfortunately, if it were a company car, there are other issues. I want this to be all his. Mikey has his car and hopefully will be comming to WCR with my Grandson Ryan. Really want this to be a family event.
