The last guy on the left is Lennie, which is appropriate that shown ghosted. Never see him on the world anymore. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Solt it to Tommy in Florida. No we didn't get it started that weekend. Distributor was out 180 & my fuel lines were backwards (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) . Was rushing to get it together for WCR & made a mistake or two (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

Okay here is after a few hours today. Couple skim coats/ sanding & a quick prime coat. Pics are just after prime coat so is a little wet. Probably won't show much detail but is coming along nicely. Think I am ready for the real prime & glaze action. Then fine sanding out the glaze. Definately some skill needed for this. Nothing like learning as you go though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Looks good, try and throw some more prime coats on as filler once you get to guide coat step.

Back at it last night & today. Man this is time consuming. Thought I was pretty close but need to get it blended a little better. The bottom rear of the flare needs some more filler to be smooth. I just need a little more on the actual bottom corner. Then I need one coat of filler on the front flare. It will take the least amount of work. It's just the transition from what we ground off that needs to be blended a bit. I'll post some more pics tonight. Wish me luck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Okay didn't get to much farther this weekend. As usual to many things came up that kept me from the shop (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) . Front fender just needs a little more filler on the bottom. The top edge blended great.

The rear quarter I seem to be chasing my tail a bit. It's close but again the bottom corner needs more filler & sanding. It really takes time to get that area blended right. The transition from the flare has been tricky. I am close but still not quite there (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) . I hope to get an hour out there tonight

Looks good! I like to guide coat/primer it a couple times just to make sure, especially on the smaller jobs.

I think when I was doing the final shape of my flares I hit them with primer 5x a side..

Take your time and you'll thank yourself later.

Besides this is the fun/easy part. Are you planning on spraying the fenders?

I think I may give it a whirl. I plan to get some base coat & clear coat. The paint isn't ridiculously expensive. I do have buddy with a booth even. Well I need to see if he still has it setup. If so then I'll give it a try up there. Otherwise I'll be trying to find someone fairly local to do the paint.

If your buddy has a booth chances are he could spray? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Cable shifters that I was talking about.

1G Mitsubishi Eclipse 1st gen left. 3000GT/Stealth right.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/lh3.googleusercontent.com-431-1433391224.1.jpg)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/lh3.googleusercontent.com-431-1433391226.2.jpg)

Eclipse - 6" wide
2 1/2" shorter
$26 short shifter on ebay
~ 5 ft cables

3000gt - 7" wide
13" tall
$65 short shifter on ebay
~ 5 ft cables

The 3/S stick will fit on the 1G. Lever ratios are the same. Mounting base is flat. Solid bushings are available. Standard asian knob threads.

The only drawback besides the large mounting bases is the stick leans forward, but can be cut and rewelded.

The Eclipse 2G and 3G are not well liked. The 4G resembles the Boxster.

So after installing my new fore aft cable that broke at WCR. I had failed to zip tie my clutch cable with the rest. It melted on my header & snapped. So I ordered another cable & installed it tonight. Took it for a quick drive down the road. All went well so I took it into town to get an ice cream cone to celebrate. Car got over 200 in town while I was sitting in the DQ drive through. My radiator fans didn't kick on like they are supposed to. Hit 210 before I got it back on the road & it cooled right down. So I need to see why my fans aren't working. Still was great to drive my car again. Shifting was nice & clutch felt great too. So all that is adjusted right.

Yay you! Nothing like getting the 914 back on the road ( I just parked after another 550 mile jaunt).

Be sure and zip-tie that new cable!

Yeah all cables are definitely zip tied so that won't happen again. Definitely good to drive it again. Been way to long
