Last of parts arrived today!
Long weekend coming up. Car has not been on jack stands in over a year. Thanks to all of the suggestion here it looks like I will be tearing the front end out soon! |

Are you doing the rears too?
Planning on powder coating? Just had all my stuff done locally and am VERY pleased with how it turned out. Who needs a professional alignment? $25 in parts and a couple hours of fab'n:  |

Especially because you can make your adjustments move the car to reset and remeasure without dealing with a jack stand arrangement. Problem I see with your arrangement is that the stringline looks too low on the wheel. For accuracy you really need the stringline centered on the hub. It might be just the camera angle though? |

Good eye! It is a little low but is completely adjustable. It was originally set up for a '73 911 track car and I never re adjusted for the 914. Since my goal is zero toe in the rear and barely toe in in the front, a little low is OK. Close enough for a street car!

Will be doing a complete strip down for paint in future. Will coat then. Backs are next! Got new bearings and bushings. |

I got all my blasting and powder coating done for $100. That was for front and rear 23 pieces total. $100!! By the time you clean up everything and paint you will probably spend close to that, especially if you factor in labor. All I had to do was drop it off and pick it up.
