Nothing bought this month..
Striped the paint off the doors and hoods and bumpers shot with self etching primer.
Had a set back with regards to paint. while the body panels don't have body work in them when painted and shiny they look less than perfect.
So sanding all exterior of the shell and will begin a Dolphin Glaze process to get them mirror flat. Not that big of a deal since it's only the front fenders and rear quarters that have color on them.

I don't think this build is in the same league as most of what I see here in the challenge. I doubt anyone wants to see a plain build like this.



Looks pretty good. I am sure it will turn out great. Can you also post this update in the main Challenge thread - http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=265569

After looking over the other builds here I can see how boring this build is. No dramatic surgery or radical mods.


Gimme a break. This is a beautiful build, great workmanship, it is looking fantastic. Fun to watch it come together.

One must endeavor to persevere.
With the body shell in paint assembly is in full swing. Slogging thru the fiddly bits up front in the headlight buckets. Euro light mod as the side markers are deleted.
Ready to install that shiny new windshield and back glass then the interior will go in pretty quickly. Got the wheels done and tires mounted. (full size spare will reside in the rear position.
Finnally some new pics.

Update, I'll be offering this one up for sale when completed.

I started with a 914 that sat 15 years in dry storage in the hands of a hopeful V8 conversion fan. A stalled project that never happened.
So my starting point was an unmolested car with no rust issues.
Original books/manuals, keys, radio and so on.
This will be a mildly modified back date look with body color bumpers and early steel wheels with hub caps.simple look of the German delivery first series cars.


Example pic
Like this but only sort of. steelies and hub caps
No side markers euro lights and fogs.





Challenge starting point



todays progress 7/24
Got things up front pretty well sorted will be moving back to the cockpit and get started on the interior.
Lights and horns the turn lamps are re-wired for euro lenses lenses not here yet.

Full size spare in the rear trunk works well with the provided anchor.

Hung the doors. Started on bumpers and valances. Installed compact AGM battery, heat booster fan and drain tubes. Engine lid is ready to install. Hood and deck lid left to go.
Things are getting a little dirty from dust and finger prints but that will be sorted in the final detailing.

Getting to the end now. Just havent got alot of pics at the moment.
Been sorting out the little things and test driving. So far drives nice and the sound absorption material makes the quietest teen I've driven even without the big black engine compartment pad.

Actually got it out and drove up to speed and all is good. I had forgoten about the short shifter ( Weltmeister ) and was surprised with the short throw (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Still plenty to do but even a short little spin helps with motivation.
Mostly whats left is the final cut on the paint and cleaning every little thing.
Pre-tuning the engine before install made things go much more smoothly.
So not much fiddling before start up.

Living in the country you can get away with a quick drive without lights,mirrors, license, ya know all that stuff you really don't need anyway (IMG:style_emoticons/default/busted_cop.gif)

Nice to give it a rinse and dust off.

Off to DMV for vin inspection and license.
Still some trim bits to install and underside detail clean up.
I must say I'm quite pleased with finished product.
(engine lid is off for engine bay detailing)
