4 days to Amelia!
I thought I’d start a thread for anyone getting your car ready for Werks Reunion/Amelia Island. I’d love hear about your progress. If you’re like me, you probably need some encouragement. I have no idea how a I will get the car ready in time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) But a deadline with some accountability will help. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) My goal is to do something on it every day. We will see. So where are you on getting your car ready? Here is where I am starting: I made some more room in the garage and got it turned around today. But family duties kept me from getting anything else done. Here is what I need to do in the next month or so: Get engine running - rebuilt, but never run but for a few minutes at most Install carbs Pull the alternator back out because I get spark when I hook up battery - back plate of alternator grounding out? Put side windows and wing windows back in - Uggg Install new rubber Install windshield Install rear window Install engine lid and 3 powder coated grills Install headlight covers Install side rocker covers Install chrome Get new tires mounted on wheels Install master cylinder/bleed brakes Install shifter hook shift rod up Install interior - carpet, back pad, etc. Install new steering wheel I think that pretty much covers it.

18 day! I finally got the rear in the air and got the shocks set at the height I like with the 7’s. I am in sworn to last high on the Bilistein with about 1.5degree of camber on both sides. There is just a bit more room in right, which is just a difference with metal work when the fenders were repaired I think. Now I could drop it back Lowe one slot and that outlet add about a degree more of negative camber and a quarter inch more room at top of wheel from the fender buy the front is as low as it could go with out having to reindeer my torsion bar and adjusting cap and screw. And with the front sitting about 1/2” lower than rear I like how it not stands . Maybe later I will go thru all that trouble since it does sit higher than stock factory specs called for, but for now it’s fine. No time as there are other things to do- like replace the sail panel vinyl- these 2 projects took the past 2 days! But worth the work.
The new German sail panel vinyl looks good, thanks Mark and Matt @914rubber Last few pics before doing a full once over cleaning- would’ve known that 2 weeks before we go to Amelia that the pollen comes out!! It will be almost impossible to keep clean - will have to stay covered up in the garage for sure. It sits pretty good I’d say, getting close to being done, timing adjustment oil change and some accessories to add(Steve’ bags etc!) ad I’m ready to hit the road. Attached thumbnail(s) |
