I bought this as a stripped down rolling chassis. The sller put wheels on it to get it on the trailer. That was 4 long years ago. I also had a son at the same time so working on the car has been a second priority. Now the engine is in and the brakes are on, I should be able to get some work done more quickly. I plan on firing this up within the next couple of weeks and taking on a drve by the end of July. I got the 3m adhesive today to get the fenders bonded on and then the fun stuff begins. Hope to get it completed in time for next years West Coast Ramble. Thanks to the support and motivation of the 914World. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I was looking at an old set of axles I have and I noticed the papergasket in the cv joint to hub. Where do you get these? Also, the throttle cable I got on ebay 3years ago separated in the middle at the steel peice that attaches to the firewall tube. Is there a fix or do I buy a new one? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) I thought about using shrink tubing to hold it in place, but if the throttle sticks I am in trouble.
