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!

The Car and the Video are both outstanding. Can't wait for you to drive it, you got to be proud. By the way you got it done in the nick of time cause once you're married you won't have time.

Thanks for all the props guys. It was truly a labour of love. There was times where I took off months at a time, but I never lost interest. Seeing many threads on here really motivated me to complete this. Although I'm still not totally done. I doubt I ever will be.

Ya, good thing I will be done by the wedding, because not only will I have no more time, but I wont be able to drop cash into it without even thinking twice about it anymore.

I dont think I will be bringing the car to the tranny clinic. I got like 5 transmissions that I think Im going to bring.

I will update in the future with another video. Some footage on the road and probably the speedster my Dad is working on.

Nice!

If you bring it to Milton one Sunday this summer, please don't park it next to mine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

If you're real careful I bet 5 tranny's would fit a 914, you'd be amazed how much stuff a 914 will hold.

I knew of this cruise when it was at Canadian Tire, but if Im not mistaken it has moved right? Where is it now?

Ya I guess I could fit a few, but then I'd have to be extra careful in not scratching paint, and wrapping them all up. Unless someone wants to bring them all there for me.
