I'm collecting parts and trimming the donor panels in preparation of the big day. I have every intension of having scotty b here during the big pull on the Celette. We have been chatting about this for some time. He seems to think I can teach him something.

Mark your welcome to come out too. I have a big house with extra beds. Spend a long weekend. It will be a great time.

Keep me posted. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif) Thought about driving out, but then remembered that severe snow allergy I have. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

We need to make this happen (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Ok, I finally have the Mercedes off the Celette. I have limited space and with all the snow I can't move the Celette to the other garage. So I spent all day yesterday removing the Mercedes and mounting the 6 on the pinch weld clamps.

I have other cars ahead of mine so I won't rent the fixtures to start the repairs until around the end of March but at least the car is sitting on the bench.

Thought I would give this a bump. I'm just finishing Ben's 6 and a 72 911 targa. If I don't get called to work I may be able to rent the fixtures and get started with the first pulls.

A couple issues. I have a parts roller I have to retrieve from Mosier OR. first. I may need the front fenders off the roller. I'm also working another deal on a front clip in Cali. I may be out west sooner than I can get up to OR. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) What to do... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

A lot has happened since my last post. I delivered the 911 to Cleveland. My intension was to hit the road with my trailer from there and head west. I have a rear trunk lid in Vegas to collect from JP and a roller in OR. to try to get home.

While in Cleveland I got a call to work. So instead of heading to JP's I ended up in Nebraska. I spent a couple weeks there then had a blast back home for another obligation I can't mention yet... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Then from home I ended up going back to Cleveland to get the Mercedes back here to finish. 14+ hrs. both ways is a killer! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

I talked to SoCal Andy yesterday about the 6. It inspired me to bump this thread. I am thinking about renting the fixtures and starting on the 6 even without the roller I need to collect from OR. So maybe some progress soon.

Awesome. You can paint over it and even if you get a few chips over time it won't be too noticeable with beige.

I haven't used the word "beige" in a while (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . Beige....it looks funny.

I got my COA but started a new thread instead of adding to this one. Anywho, here's the link to get everything in the same place.

http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...=238745&hl=


So I would like to search out the original engine if possible. 6404371. I know it's a needle in a hay stack but the thrill is in the hunt.

Also what is option C13?

Does "light metal wheels" always mean 14" Fuch wheels or 15" Mahle gas burners?

Were 15" Fuch wheels also in that mix?

Light metal wheels is usually Mahle wheels. 14" Fuchs were the factory wheel but many dealers and individuals swapped them for the 911 15" Fuchs.

C13 is unknown to me.
