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 should post this in the slackers thread. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I spent last Saturday pulling the heat exchangers and building a bracket to mount the boxster muffler. I will post more pics when I take out to paint the bracket. I also need to sort out the connection to the engine. Would there be any disadvantage to using the later model 2.0 exhaust manifold spun around and connected directly to the muffler? (Besides the lack of heat).
