Well, after 10 months of not being able to drive my car, it is finally back on the road again! I took the car down in January to update the suspension: new poly bushings, koni yellow's on all four corners, fully adj perch with 175 springs in the rear, 22mm torsions, a 22mm welt sway bar with the adj droplinks, replacing the prop valve with the "T", and adding a fully adj prop valve.

I finished most of this by some time in feb, however, I had to put the car away and spend all of march through september getting married, and starting my shop. So, in the last couple of months I fixed a big rust hole so I could install my race seat finally, I also finally installed my front oil cooler, and I finally got the car aligned after all that suspension work.

So, without further blathering on, here are the pics of my project...it may not be pretty , but it sure is fun:

gotta have the 914club sticker...

opening I made in the valance and bumper...all i did was cut out the front trunk between the circles, so that is why the opening is so small...so far it has worked well, oil has not gotten over 190, but it has been cool out and i have yet to really push the car...

seat 2...I cut out the cross brace on the drivers side to bring the seating position lower, but I did used the adj sliders with the seat, so there is some adjustment for different size drivers...I actually think this seat would work well in a full interior car also...
