A couple of trucks pulled up in the last few days and unloaded my early Christmas.
1st off is a 2.4T MFI engine that will be going into my 71 914-4. It came all the way from Aussie land if you can believe. Hard to find good MFI engines anymore. Not a trivial task getting it from the land of Oz to Portland, Oregon. Took nearly 6 months. The engine will be rebuilt with 2.2S P&C, upgraded MFI, Stoddard's new 914-6 HE's, single outlet sport exhaust, etc. Hoping for right at 200hp.   Also just received today my new sport seats from Stefan and GTS Classics. Again, the wait was long (since last March), but well worth it in the end. These are his Watkins Glen seats especially designed for 914's. I opted for the raw fiberglass backs (to link up with the GT hoods I'm doing) along with lumbar support. Custom tartan plaid in Robertson Hunting Modern trim. Guess I need to get the rest of the car finished now... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)   |

Guess Christmas morning will be anti-climatic after this... But well worth it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
