So today I bought a new shell for my project build, and I am extremely happy with my purchase! The body is in wonderful condition, perfectly straight, clean title, very minimal rust (and the rust it does have can be easily fixed without having to purchase RD pieces), and most importantly it was the right price (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)
Looks better in person but here are some pics.

The car does have all the wiring in tact and non-molested, yay. So i have all of the parts needed to put this guy on the road plus lots of extras that will be added at a later point (one piece front fiberglass flared clip, rear 7" FG flairs, FG 911 dash with 5 gage pod..etc) If anyone was watching the thread called 20 year hibernation, you would see that i indeed got the little 1.7 to fire up, and idle nicely too, That wil be going in this beauty. So this week one of the tasks is to drop the engine and pop the top end off and take a look inside, hopefully it doesn't need too much work... I'm really excited now that I have a "rustless" roller to play with!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) |

HaHa, I'm gonna guess the 75% left case, cause I will always want to make it better (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Just put another 4 hours in after i got home from class. Right now my bigest priority is getting the 5-lug suspension on this car and getting the 4-lug on the other so i can have them switch spots and have my new baby in the garage! So i started by taking off the rear suspension on both cars. I am also switching out the shock bearing pins with the kind that has the ball on the end for a rear sway bar. Although i wont be installing the bar right away it will be easier to do it now rather than later. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i1293.photobucket.com-14538-1358227626.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i1293.photobucket.com-14538-1358227627.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i1293.photobucket.com-14538-1358227627.3.jpg) So before i started working on the suspension, i took out the relay board from my engine/parts car to clean up and examine. noticed one small problem on the backside of one of the regulator terminals. It pops out when you push the posts on the regulator side in.... hmm, should i epoxy over this void area to hold it in place and protect it from the elements???
