A continuation of the original thread...

914 GT Build Thread

2014 Progress Thread...

Figure I'd post some pics...

In between I've been sorting out the body... basically marking up problems with a sharpie and noting all my issues for the new body guy.

I've been mock fitting some fiberglass rocker panels and valences. Drilling holes for oil lines in driver's rocker area. I also fitted the front oil cooler shroud.

Today I had to do some fitment of the Engman inner longs. I had to punch holes for the Rich Johnson Engine mount through-bolts that are inside the tub... and trim some areas that were a little tight, etc.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/dl.dropboxusercontent.com-271-1394857002.1.jpg)

Here are doors, bumpers and Engman inner long stiffening kits.

I admired Dr. Evil's Tranny work...

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/dl.dropboxusercontent.com-271-1394857006.3.jpg)


Dusted off the 3.2L Short Stroke, with 98mm P&Cs, modified S-cams, 46mm Webers, and a bunch of internal goodies...

A new "Lost Warehouse" discovered... Almost everything refurbished or new.

I've spent 3-4 days sorting through ALL the parts. Placing things in bins by body area (brakes, transmission, electrical, trim, interior, oil, fuel, etc.)

You've had THAT engine sitting in your garage for years?!?! That thing is motivation enough!

Good luck Karl! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

I almost forgot one of the added benefits of the new garage!

Free flowing BEER

I built an electric brewery a couple of years ago!

That's pretty great. I don't drink, but I'm great at buying/pouring, and can appreciate good engineering.

...the car stuff is nice too.

Looks like you're ready for assembly. That car should be a rockets hip when it's done!

Enjoy the build in good health.

I've followed this and your life with your son since the beginning. I think one of those parts on the shelf are from me. Great to see you back.

Karl, I'm glad to see your project has re-ignited. I remember going to your website and reading about your build. Very nice. That new garage you've built with your house is awesome!

Wow, fun build. I had that exact motor that was supposed to go into my Carrera, then they became to valuable to modify. Never got to use it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) . That's gonna SCREAM when done.

As I was looking at the photos of parts all I could think is how smart it was to pre buy all those parts way back when because if you had to get them today $$$$$. Buy and sit its a good plan. lol. Once again welcome back.

Started cleaning up grinding the edges of the chassis reinforcements (a lot of slopping welds and splatter).

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/dl.dropboxusercontent.com-271-1395014716.1.jpg)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/dl.dropboxusercontent.com-271-1395014719.2.jpg)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/dl.dropboxusercontent.com-271-1395014720.3.jpg)


I located the oil cooler hose holes in the driver's longitudinal and the front wheel well. Have to still drill in the footwell.

I grafted two round grommets together into a figure-8 to fit in the center triangle. (no pics), but it will work out well

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/dl.dropboxusercontent.com-271-1395014721.4.jpg)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/dl.dropboxusercontent.com-271-1395014722.5.jpg)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/dl.dropboxusercontent.com-271-1395014723.6.jpg)

I also pulled out the grommet that the fuel lines go through in the front of the tunnel. Will clean it up and enlarge the holes in preparation of installing Tangerine's stainless fuel lines!
