Rears are done except for dust shields and e-brakes. New coil overs and hardware. PET does not show where the bracket that supports the front of the rear brake dust shield goes. Is it under the head of the bolt and lock washer?



From memory, doesn't the dust shield need to go behind the rotor such that you need to remove the calipers as well. I did this so many times in my build, you'd think I certainly know this by heart? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Been a long time since this beast has worn rubber.

Finished up the dust shields, torqued the castle nut, and attached and adjusted the e-brake cable. The underside of the car will never be this clean again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Last time the beast was on his wheels was a long time ago.

Definitely getting harder to resist the temptation to just start bolting things onto the car...out of order. Hood, lids, doors etc. I hate having to un-do something to get better access.

Meanwhile, Bullethead supplied me with a decent suspension cover that needed some love. Metal worked it a bit, took it down to bare steel and treated, primed and painted in satin black. A little bit of love with new edges from 914Rubber and we are good!

Engine lid... came out nice. Removed all the letters to re-finish the grill. Scribed the back of the grill to remember where the letters went. Paint completely obscured my scribe marks. Lucky to have my son's car nearby to measure his lettering to replace mine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Looking really nice. Fun to see it all going back together and looking like new. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Need to level the hood and get the headlight covers and brows dialed in. Engine lid gets attached when I get an extra set of hands, and then I figure out re-attaching the rear lid and springs without killing myself in the process. Doors, decos and bumpers are next...and if someone will remind me where I safely stored the front windshield I would appreciate it.

Looks good Lars. Do you have the rear trunk spring tool ?
This tool will help make the install easier and safer.
