Used her as a cup holder. Don't worry - I treat my 911 whale tail (not pictured) the same way...

Dropped this (old, reliable 1.7 w/tailshift) today:
 For this (2056 w/rebuilt side shaft once the Dr. is finished with it).  But, I can't put that in a dirty engine bay, now can I? Look at that battery tray (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)   And that lid hinge is cracked. THAT'S got to go...  So, it's time to start cutting, grinding, and cleaning...  |

In the process of cleaning the engine bay, I've noticed:
1. Getting the engine bay rubber out is more difficult than I would have guessed. I've got new seals from 914Rubber. Anyone have a trick or advice for removing the pieces from the engine shelf channels (other than growing a pair and yanking)? 2. Getting the undercoating type material off of the firewall and everywhere is a PITA. Advice for getting it off? Brake cleaner or another stripper?  I've noticed there's some surface rust underneath this awful stuff. I guess it lasts a long time, but eventually it hides the rot, it doesn't prevent it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) Done for today. Try to finish cleaning tomorrow and hopefully weld in the new hinge and battery tray before my tranny gets back from the Evil One. |

Have had occasional starting issues so I though I'd try working thru that today but it started and ran perfectly so no choice but to
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) . It was kind of cold this morning, @40 degrees. It always seems to run good on the cooler days. |

 Finally got the washer off of this and on to mine and put the tranny BACK in for the 2nd time. This one is off my core. Basically it fell out with the threaded sleeve. The ball in the good tranny was a bitch. Had to modify the deep well 14 mm. Nuthin' new with this car. Seems like I have to do everything 2 times. |

I pulled out my old engine bay rubber yesterday and it was a PITA. It was old and cracked (kinda like me!) so I ended up taking a flat blade screwdriver and gently prying until I had a good sized section coming out, then gently again pulled bit by bit the length of the piece out of the same spot where I started. Took awhile but it worked. |

QUOTE(cn2800 @ Mar 28 2015, 12:36 PM) I got a package from Canadian Santa Claus: Now I have to get my rear in gear and get a new welder... HO, HO! Nice pieces, Tex. I looked at several welders and went with the Longevity 140. It was decent price and had options I wanted down the road - like a spool gun for aluminum. Also has low temp mode for this thin sheet metal work. See project link, around page 17 is when I got new welder. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-1191-1392609342.jpg) |

Speaking of welding, here's the reinforcements I just finished for the inner suspension mounts. I wanted to extend the support up the side and over the top of the long. Also added support on each side.
Got plenty of cleanup left to do - but happy with the results. Left side (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-1191-1427659252.jpg) Right side (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-1191-1427659260.jpg) |

I made some toe plates to play with my alignment at home. Unfortunately I don't think I will get to use them before the autocross this Wednesday. Oh well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
