That's a good looking suspension console. Trade you for mine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Yeah I was pretty shocked it was that solid given the state of it's surroundings. THe suspension ear looks like it has already been replaced. I'll know better once I get it cleaned up

Nice. All of Mark's rust apparently relocated to my car while they were sitting next to each other. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

So there used to be a bunch of alignment spacers on the passenger side -see post 218. Do you think this was due to damaged chassis or just poor alignment when the replacement outer suspension console was welded on?

So back in the '80's, this car was my daily driver. In the summer, I used to tie some red plaid beach towels around the seats to keep the vinyl from burning my skin. So when Steve put some 914rubber.com seat covers up for sale, I had to have them. I have a couple core sets of seats that need the full recover. Will pick up new bolster vinyl and foam from mikey and probably some seat heaters. I'll use the old bases to trace onto new pressboard. Can't wait.

Those look like they were reversed engineered from an alien race car!
Wow what are they from? |

I thought the air cleaner was going to match the paint on the car? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) No Mark decided to go with something contrasting in the engine bay. The body colored air cleaner was a bit too ricey. We're thinking gold on the air cleaner would look good with the purple candy body (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) Amazing work in the reconconstruction zone, but the Purple ebay air filter?

Come on guys, I'm just kidding, the car is not getting 917 calipers. But maybe tha mattylite car needs a set with all the HP that car will have. |

My thread gets the once over by Marty, one of the guy's who has really BTDT with everything Porsche and his take away on my car is the purple air filter. |
