OK it is time to focus on the final finish up of the 6!

I would like to offer free BBQ food and drink to anyone who would like to assist in hooking up the wireing, injection and starting the the 6 on Sat July 16th! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Lennies914 and I will be installing the motor in the next week and then it is just a matter of hooking up the injection filling it with oil, installing the axcels and giving it a shot (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

If anyone would like to come out to Discovery Bay and help out drop me a PM and lets see if we can get another one on the road!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Cool (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

We will see how many people express an interest and go from there!

Lennies914 said he would help so that is a total of 3 people so far.

I would like to feed a few more than that so lets see where this ends up next week!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif)

I'm going to be at my wife's family reuinion at Asilomar resort. I think it's between Santa Cruz & Monterey. If it wasn't to far I would love an excuse to be gone for a while. I plan to flat tow the LE down just so I can bolt when I feel like it. How far a drive will I have if I can swing it?

I'm only an hour away, and can try to make it. Please PM your address, and I'll bring some tools and grubby clothes to dig in. I much prefer to work on cars than sit around and talk about 'em (guess I'm ADHC...).

Yeah I'm closer to Monterey. I'm not going to make it. I would like to take my 914 on a spirited drive. I think I am going to get together with Jim (Roadster fan) in Monterey instead. Sounds like a fun time. Just can't quite justify being gone the whole day. My wife is a wonderful & understanding woman. I think that would only last about 4 hours though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)

I'm trying to work my schedule so I can come down and help out. I have my daughters B-day to contended with so I am not sure how much time I might have.
Is this a 6 conversion? What engine are you installing and what wiring & injection work are you trying to get done?

It looks like this is going to happen so I will start sending my home info on Wed. I would think we could start at about 10 or 11 unless anyone has a preference on another time!

I will try to have the motor installed by Sat and we will be finishing up everything else.

List of thing that need to be done;

1. Wiring adaptation from '75 1.8L to an '86 3.0L FI motor
2. Connect fuel filter, lines, ignition and injection
3. Install exhaust
4. Install axcels
5. Swap rear brake calipers and bleed
6. Install oil & gas
7. Attempt to start (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

It's been way too long anyways, does your garage fridge still hold beer? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)
