I saw that car when Thomas had it and I can't belive how good it looks to me. That car was twisted.

How many rear shims to set the rear camber in that picture?
Posted by: SirAndy Jun 19 2006, 06:48 PM
she needed a lot of "creative pulling" ... we also had to amputate one of the front fiberglass flares for better access ...

are GT flares going back onto it??
Posted by: SirAndy Jun 19 2006, 08:54 PM
are GT flares going back onto it??
right now, it looks like she going to be a all original *narrowbody* car again ...
using *only* factory /6 parts, even factory /6 sheetmetal for the repairs ...
this is going to be interesting. she should be better than new when i'm done with her ...
AndyPosted by: Bleyseng Jun 19 2006, 08:56 PM
Who's factory six are you stealing parts off of???
Did you just win the lotto or is this the Andy I know?

there's a certain original /6 that had some rather nasty things done to it's body and was deemed to be a parts car at best ...

it was a lot of work ...
i asked rafael, "are you ready for the next one?" and he said, "give me 4 weeks to recover and i'll do the next one"

I like the welded on pull tab in the front wheel well.
So are you happy with the way the rear shock tower came out or are you still going to replace it? He did a great job but it's still a little wrinkley (i.e. not better than new).
Posted by: VegasRacer Jun 20 2006, 03:55 AM
Ausgezeichnet. 
Twist and Shout, let it all hang out. 
Posted by: shoguneagle Jun 20 2006, 04:34 AM
Very, very nice job!!! Great to see the pros at work saving the 914-6 ooriginal!!! Enough cannot be said for Yeaman's, Rafael, or Sir Andy for taking on the project. Congrates.

Cant count how many I have loaned out.
