I just thought I would give everyone an update on the progress on my car. I never started a thread from the start, and now that it is almost on the road (for sure this summer) I want to give a few shout outs to the many people that have helped along the way.

A little about the car...

-1973, originally white, now Subaru racing blue
-has a wiring harness from a 72' 1.7L
-suspension and brakes from a /6, rebuild kits provided by PMB
-7 & 8 fuchs
-tangerine exhaust, shift linkage, carb sync kit
-LED gauges from Al Garcia (RIP)
- Aluminum peddle boards and fuse panel from Engman (RIP)
-Rebuilt 2056cc engine with 36 delortos. (might need to upgrade we will see)
-993 aero mirrors
-lots of rubber from 914rubber
-wevo transmission mounts
-PILOT fog lights

Thanks to all the support that a lot of you unknowingly supplied. I have been a lurker most of the time that I have been working on this car, but all of the past problems that many have encountered have been experienced by me too.

I'm most definitely forgetting things, but here is a little video of the car in its current state. I'm down to the wire and in a race to finish my car ahead of my dad who is working on getting his 57 speedster on the road this summer. I also need to get this car dialed in for August 31st which is my wedding day. Its going to be our getaway mobile!
