Didn't you have a mattress on top of it for awhile? Removing it looks like some progress to me. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)
I think we wait for summer for good weather to work on the cars and then there's too many other things to do... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) |

That 13B must have been fun while it lasted. I heard U can't turbo a 914.. LOL.....
Funny our V8 strings started the same way. "I'm laggin' and trying to get motivated".... Too funny. Well I'll be checking your thread out regularly. Love the color and the rims. Are those bonded flares? |

Is that the radiator hose Or a big bungie holding the rocker pannel on? Kinda overkill. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) |

Got a pic of the back of the water pump? I'm curious how you oriented the pump and routed the lines...
Looks like a clean conversion! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif) |

The flares were screwed, and bonded on, I think. Marco has over 15 years experience with Porsche body work. He works are C & R Porsche down near Gardena. It was really nice of him to help me out. Yeah, that is the radiator hose hangin on the door. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

Here are some radiator pics. I used Black Hamerite Rust CAP spray paint for the front. This stuff does not run, is super glossy, and is suppose to "encapsulate" rust kind of like the good stuff, POR 15. It'll look better once I get the Whole car painted. I decided to go jet black. The original yellow was fun, but having a fast, yellow car is just asking for a ticket, especially with my led foot.

Here's a pic which I superimposed some carbon kevlar sheeting on the dash and door panels. I should have reduce the carbon weaving to the correct size, but you get the idea. I think it might look pretty shweet. It would be a cake project since everthing is flat. We'll see
