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. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i1293.photobucket.com-14538-1358146784.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i1293.photobucket.com-14538-1358146784.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i1293.photobucket.com-14538-1358146784.3.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i1293.photobucket.com-14538-1358146785.4.jpg) Already swapped on the tail lights from my 72 parts car (the one in the garage) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i1293.photobucket.com-14538-1358146785.5.jpg) Car has no front or rear windshield or engine/trans, but thats what parts cars are for. 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) |

Your in luck. I have a 10X1.0 kit and 10X1.25 kit. I don't remember the thread pitch you need so you'll have to check. Don't drill on the hole anymore. We will have to enlarge the hole an it take a special size. But I have the bit, its part of the kit. I have a few inserts but I dont think their long enuff. I think we should use the longest ones they make. They only cost a buck or two. Timesert is in Cali so if we got to order one they are only a day or 2 away. Other places sell the inserts so you can shop around. just make you get the steel ones. They come in aluminum too. When you figure out the pitch size, look at the timesert website for the part number. It will make googleing way easier.
Im glad I have the right kit. They are real lifesavers. especially when you strip an exhaust bolt on a sunday and have to drive your car to work on monday morning.... Or when you pull the friggin threads out when your changing spark plugs. |
