I removed the Weltmister solid mounting block and will mount the tranny ear right up to the support base plate, per Chris' recommendation.

In the picture above you can see the black line that goes from the rear of the shock tower to the outside toward the fender. That is the cut line to wack off the rest of the inter fender sheet metal.
I used the tubing notcher, the porta-band saw (both shown in a earlier post above)and a 4" angle grinder. You need to be very careful when fitting the bars in. You have to work slow to fit one end of the bar and than notch the other end to get it to fit. When you change the angle on one end you're changing the other end as well. Sounds basic, I know but you really fit both ends of a bar at the same time. Paul (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) Attached thumbnail(s)

soon it won't be a 914 if you keep cutting (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
I looked at that last pic and I thought "well where is the car?" All that's left are the sail panels and of course, the motor. |

I think LOL Look, if it is behind the rear wheels- it coming off!!! I just went out and cut off what was left of the right side behind the shock. The fender is hanging out there by itself. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) You guys just wish you were as sick as me, HAHAHAHAHAHA (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) I have a friend that lives down the street. He couldn't change a light bulb. He works at credit union, drives a Civic, you get the picture. He looks at my car and is completly lost. If it wasn't for the seat facing the steering wheel, he wouldn't know the back from the front. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) I'm MAD, I tell you, MAD. HaHaHaHAHAHAHA... |
