never knew this spot held water. Sir Andy pointed it out and promptly took a drill bit to it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/fighting19.gif)

Thanks Rusty! I'm getting really excited about it. Hopefully I can get the engine compartment clean by next weekend, and B can get going on transplanting the motor and tranny after that. Then, I'm planning on bribing some bay area folk into helping me move everything else from the orange car to the silver one. If I can get 4 people that are 914 savvy to help, I think we can have it assembled in one weekend! Wishful thinking?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Why don't you get it painted before moving all the parts over? Wouldn't that make things a lot easier?

Well, I'm not going for a Yeaman paint, more of a Maaco paint. :toilet:

I'll get it painted as stripped down as they'll let me get. But I'm pretty sure they'll want the car running. I'll ask Brad what is the least we can do to still get it painted.

What color are you thinking about!

Silver is sweet (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif) and it will be easier for you in the long run!!

Brad discourages color changes (rock chips will show the old color) so I think I'll be staying with silver. Besides, the rims match perfectly!!

By the way, can anyone point me to the thread about getting car paint in a spray can so I can paint the engine bay myself?

Thanks,

Jen

There are a lot of really nice shades/tones of silver. That's one color you can change the shade and it won't show chips.

Have you called around for someone in California that will do single stage in a rattle can, or have the smog nazi's outlawed it? I know there's a place in Des Moines that used to make paint bombs.

I've used this place (Tower Paint). Give them the 914 paint code and they'll ship you some custom cans. Not sure of anyone local to us that provides this service.

I used them to test paint colors before choosing one.
