Got the engine installed in my black 73 project. Hooked up the fuel lines and the wiring today. Will do the exhaust and fuel pump this week. Ray (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Fixed a front suspension clunk and had to make sure it was fixed in the Santa Cruz Mountains.

Also got my car back after the baby deer collision. So I used a steel bumper this time, and did the Nissan 350Z grille for the radiator. Also popped on some Hella lights for bling. The last thing to do is get my factory headlights back in.



Hey, nice car. What do you mean by the "did the 350Z grille for the radiator?" I can't see the grill in the pic.

My favorite grill style for 914 H20 conversions. Tried to pull it out of his pic some, but too dark. Check out Jerry's example in the link below. One of my all time favorite teeners, now with LS1:

Yea, that is where I got inspiration to do this.

Mine still needs some work to make it match the curvature of the bumper (not that easy).

Work in progress all the time! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Checked the tranny fluid level to find it was a quart short. After filling, I went for a drive in hopes that solved my shifting problems. It didn't. Now it's time to drop the engine and tranny for a rebuild on the trannsmission. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

You don't "have to" drop the engine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I bought Rings today, and I received my step down exhaust studs today (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
So tomorrow, I'm off the the Head Shop to give them my new studs for installation (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I opened the box of five rims that just came home from a visit at Al Reeds. I will wait for spring to get tires mounted and then install them on my car. I have wanted classic 15" Fuchs on my car for some time now.

I got one piston off the rod so it's cleaned and has a new set of rings it. The wrist pins gave me a fit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Tomorrow may be a couple more (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Sent off two driver side stainless heat exchangers to make one good one. Cutting the 2.0 muffler mount end off of the one with crack in pipe and welding that to a solid 1.7 unit. Will be delivered in the morning. Can't wait to install as it will do two things - get rid of the exhuast leak and allow me to hook up the heat (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Use a propane torch and warm the piston, pins will then slide out w/ no drama.

I parked my 914 up the hill on the grass and covered it with three covers+tarps.
