Wow, great! Tell me more about the plastidip thing. Difficult? AFAIK, it's reversable without negative consequenses. Am I correct?

No the plastidip is quite easy.

Degrease your wheels and mask off any area you dont want to paint.
First layer goes on very very thin, allow it to dry for 5-10 minutes.
Second layer goes on normally thick, it wont cover everything yet.
Again let dry for about 5 minutes.
Third layer should cover the base surface completely, fourth layer goes on pretty much just after the third has dried alittle. Remove the masking while the paint is wet (just be carefull) There's plenty of youtube videos showing the process. The paint will peel off easily if you're not happy with it, just find an edge and pull. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Mats,
Your car looks great. I am in Gothenburg so I will look forward to having a good look at it some time in the future.
I am not sure what your last post means have you a bad thread on the exhaust stud?
I had this problem with one of the exhaust studs on my 912, I the hole welded, bored out and a helicoil installed it was like new and it didn't cost an arm and a leg

After sleeping on the issie I've decided to finish all the ECU wiring before I pull the engine to get the exhaust stud fixed. That way pulling the engine will feel like a bit of a reward for finishing the wiring.... (yeah I'm wierd like that....) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif)

Probably the easiest solution would be to drill and tap for an oversize exhaust stud. There are 8/9 mm ones, and I think 8/10 mm ones as well. I'd bet that Mittlemotor carries them.

Yes that will work, I'll just have to get the engine out and take the head off and get it done somewhere. Might get the heads flowmeasured while its out and have them both checked out.

I had a visit from David today and there was I think almost two hours of 914 talk. I think he liked what I've done so far. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Today I pretty much finished up running the lines for the oilcooler and got to see the front end assembled for the first time. The bottom valance is kinda screwed up from being patched a few times but it'll do for now. Eventually I'll get a replacement one.

I also got some adapters for the ITB's, they'll let me use any IDF style air filter.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/matsgarage.com-15176-1439067920.3.jpg)

Also got the LS2 coils and made a bracket for them.
