QUOTE(Andyrew @ Jun 1 2016, 09:00 PM)  QUOTE(914forme @ Jun 1 2016, 05:23 PM) Most troubling issue, ran out of mig wire, which means there is 49 pounds of the stuff used in the build of this car, I would say 90% of it gets ground out. Holy crap!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I'd agree with that. Feel like a measure of my welding skill is how much I *don't* end up sweeping off the floor. Got a ways to go. Whole quarter slipped away from me. I know where it went- we took our family vacation in the spring this year and work was pretty intense for a few weeks. Doesn't seem like I left the car for that long. Anyway, if you'll take a prodigal challenger back... Progress: Got the front corner mostly closed up. I think I'm going to rework some of the welds, just not happy with some of it, think I can do better. Spent some time practicing to get my rosettes to penetrate properly and then put this mount on:  Made up a profile drawing of my inner long and had a couple blanks made:  This will need some additional work to add all the proper features. Challenges: Time, as always. Learning on the go makes for slow progress. Vendors: Went to a local metal shop to get the inner longs made. Happy with the result, chatted with the guy for a few minutes, asked him how much of a hassle it is to do small jobs. He said they had the time to do it, otherwise you'd see it in the quote. |

I didn't do anything much myself on my car this past couple months, - but that is about to change - I did sort a short in the harness at the injector, replaced and injector, then drove the car 1000 miles to Connecticut , Manchester that is!!
Home of CFR , where there were many fine examples either completed or close, of some of Chris's work. -ordered a front trunk seal from 914rubber, -took car to CFR on the agenda and already started as reported from Chris, with pictures in future - began rust repair of rear longs and floor pan under drivers side, - checking out engine 1. Compression numbers came back very good- @145-155 on all 4, and I guess leak down was pretty good, going to be reevaluated once timing , valves etc get set or rechecked. - if my motor weakness is just a tuning thing, then I will be able to do a couple other things on that front rather than a rebuild: a. sport header from CFR and SS performance muffler from CFR, with improved oil cooler from CFR, Chris may post a few pictures of the rust repair, and the fender stretching/repair as it progresses. expectation is to bring the car home once this stuff is done, and re-paint will be the next step- that may be by next month!!!! - so the big vendor donation for this month by far is CFR - that deposit for work is what I paid for the car!!!

I feel like I had a great month in the garage.
Progress: Welded on the seatmount support, the jackpoint triangle, fabricated the upper wheelehouse hellhole, cut out and welded in a few sail panel sections, got an awesome new dog, welded in the door sill, shaped the door jamb, and welded in the suspension console! No support from vendors this month. Challenges: Fabricating multiple pieces with compound curves, getting the inner suspension console lined up, neck issue is affecting both shoulders' range of motion, and probably worst of all some lords made some trades and my serf ass got reassigned to what is a "prestigious job" driving for a person of significant rank, but the long hours and stress of the other duties are not worth it... (it seems that this is what you get for over-performing). I guess it won't be too bad a month or so from now when I adapt to it, but it goes to show that you really don't know what you've got until it's gone, but whatever I'll make this fun too. I'm really not complaining accept for the extra long work day and the occasional weekend. Many thanks to those who've helped me here so far and an extra special thanks to those who will continue to help me. I'm really looking forward to June in the garage and moving on to a new section of the car. The 914 will get extra special attention since it is my therapist for real world stress and annoyance.

Congratulations to all participants in the second round of voting. There's some great work being done out there, and I'm really enjoying reading all your threads.
Month 9 for me.... It started off at speed and ended with an emergency stop. The challenge this month was not with the car, the weather, the tiny garage, vendors or new defects to deal with…..my challenge this month was literally not to die….. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...p;#entry2365107 |

June was the I survived my first month in a new position at work during the craziest month of the year and it's over 100 degrees in my garage so I'm just going to sit in front of the TV watching sports drinking beer month.
It wasn't completely wasted though. I did accomplish to fabricate and install the dreaded Suspension Ties. And I also gained the courage to explore the haunted bondo forest that is the front, right corner--removing at least a can of filler. Maybe I didn't do much physically to the car, but I did a lot of strategic planning on how to proceed. Challenges: Learning to play with 12 gauge sheet metal and actual realizing and internalizing how much work still remains. Attached thumbnail(s)

Well the month is almost done, and very little progress.
Vendors supported this month Tangerine Racing - (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) for your support Chris Rebel Racing - To support Chris' efforts and to give me more brakes than I will ever need. Ebay - found a stupid deal on 996 Brakes 914 Rubber - Tartan (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Autohaus of Arizona - wheel bearing dust caps who know these would be that hard to find. Spoke - Jerry makes great stuff What I did do New Trans from an 05 Subaru when it, and I get to redo my trans mounts again. And weld the huge hole I cut in the rear trunk for the slave cylinder back in. Everything clears, so the trunk can look stock. No cutting needed, got to love that. Finished seam welding the shock towers. I cut out the other -4 engine mount on the passenger side, took off the lower triangle for the jack point donut. Need to fix the hell hole. Up next is the rear trunk hinges, and that is about all I want to do there before I get the suspension points moved. So I will be moving into the cabin to do a bit of work. Then maybe the front trunk. Lots of work to be done still. Baby steps, Baby Steps |

June Update: Michigan Build
Michigan Build Link Build progress: After a few road tests and adjustments, to shake things out. I ended up with 5mm rear, and 10 front for wheel spacer's. (Also remember to tighten your front strut tower bolts, before! Your first test drive.) Believe me, what a bizarre feeling. Re-Adjusted the alignment, and good to go. Primed and painted the rockers, used mar-Hyde Black satin, and Transtar 4313 chip guard. After the black satin, spray at a distance the Chipguard and find the look you want. (The primer backed set is for the restoration car) Started the long tast of finishing the flares with body filler. I hate to use much, so lots of grading, and sanding to keep it at a minimum. Also did the hood. Unexpected challenges: Summer in Michigan, not unexpected but never enough time to enjoy. Vendors: Flaps: body filler, primer, and misc. Progress Pictures:      The rest, and more @ Michigan Build Link Thanks for the look. "Michigan Build" |

June build update: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?s=&...t&p=2354753
Routed all the wiring and mounted the relay and fuse consoles. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-172-1465081656_thumb.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-172-1465081684_thumb.jpg) Mounted the gas pedal and modified the pedal cluster for the sensors required. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-172-1465081720_thumb.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-172-1465449791_thumb.jpg) Got the computer to connect to the laptop which meant the majority of the wiring was good and nothing was a major issue (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Oh and this happened. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSrB9kXreM4 Driving videos pretty soon. Then interior starts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) See my thread for more details and pictures. |
