My resolution is to remove those crappy urethane bushings I installed back in 2012 and replace with the rubber ones. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Started getting myself organized and making decisions. In 2020 I'll be doing the following:

Getting my '74 2.0 on the road. Dropped a valve seat several years ago. Put "new' heads on a year or two ago and got engine installed. That's as far as I've gotten. In a month or two will be taking car to Bill W to get him to get it back on the road. Here's an old picture before all the rust repair was done.

Will start conversion of this '74 1.8 to a -6. I have an early carbed 911 2.4 that I will be sending out for a refresh in March. I have -6 heat exchangers, oil tank, engine sheet metal and a few other parts and will be gathering the rest over the next couple of months. I will start shopping out the paint and body work on this car later this Spring. It's not a perfect car (has some hell hole rust) but is a reasonably solid car to start a project with. This car will have a Getty dash.

Once the green car gets done will take my '74 bumblebee to Bill W to get it on the road. Will probably sell it when it's safe for the road. Currently, the brakes are sticking, the FI fuel pump works intermittently, and transmission linkage bushings are shot.

Attached Image

And last (but not least) will be moving my stuff into one of my buildings. Bought this one in 2018 and have been slowly upgrading it. Redid all the offices with laminate flooring, paint and Cat5 jacks. Tiled the bathrooms and put in a tiled shower (came out really nice). New HVAC units (gas heat) for offices (separate units for upstairs and down) and a bunch of other stuff I have forgotten. Workspace has 480V service with an overhead bus bar. Compressed air via black pipe on three walls. Only thing left is AC for the work area and that is being installed next month. I've ordered a two post lift which should be in by the end of the month. This will get all my parts and cars in one place (well...almost (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) )
