I tried the antenna like this...

But I didn't get ANY reception...so I just moved it up top. Now it works fine.

Here we go making a new board for the amp and AiNet stuff, as well as a new board to cover the spare.

This is how I mocked them up, before I tore it apart again to cover and fit the amps.

I found this heater tube. (Actually, Vance told me where he got it for his 911.)

Neoprine/fiberglass 3" KICK-ASS tubing. It aint cheap, but it REALLY looks nice installed!

Here it is installed. I have dual blowers in the back. I need to use 'real' clamps, but I couldn't find them at the time, so I just used zip-ties to hold them there...this one is too long too.

Popped a 009 Distro, Crane XR700, new plugs and 8mm wires in this weekend. I had to make the wires my self. I bought a set of wires for a V8, and just make the shortest 4 the right length for me. Turned out awesome. They were yellow too!

Here are the BMW fronts that I bought from Samson. I wasn't sure about the red, but it's grown on me. I'll do up a set of rears in Red too...I'll powder-coat next time though...These were already painted, and I'm thinking he didn't use the 'right' paint because it runs when the fluid hits it.

I also cut off the old tip, and added a downward-pointing chrome tip. I kept getting 'spatter' on the back of the car, and this helps that a bunch!

Here is a quick shot of the Wevo tranny mounts. Another great product. I don't think I have them in the right way though.

Ok, well, I think it's time to put this thread to bed. Couple of last things...

Everybody here rules. I COULD NOT have done this without the constant help and encouragement of you all. Lots of people sent parts I needed here and there, More people offered encouragement.

Here are the cool-ass products you can buy HERE that I used and won't EVER do a 914 without:

Engman: Ai Pedal Board - Inner Long Stiffening Kit - Updated Fuse Panel - 3rd Brake Light

Morphenspectra: Door panels - Carpet Kit - Center Console - Map Pockets - Speaker Pods

Travis Neff: Master Cylinder Brace

Sammy: Targa Seal

Camp914: Euro Light conversion - Gas Shocks

TMorr: Wevo SS Trans Mounts

iforgetwhomadethis: Billet Shift Knob

Ok...well...Questions???

It's going to be strange not having to spend my nights in the garage trying get it 'done'...guess I oughta mow the lawn now.

YESTERDAY:

I built the entire stereo. Alpine head, Alpine 4ch amp, Sirius Sat, and iPod Adapter. All in a killer install I put in the front hood.  I also managed to get my electric washer running.(I'll post pics later or tomorrow.

Jey Doug,

Can you tell me more about this iPod adapter?

Car looks fantastic BTW.

It's built by Alpine for their head units that have AiNet. (Alpine #KCA420I)

IMHO, I'd go another direction. It's cool to see the song name, but if you had just an Aux-In and the Belkin CLA adapter, you'd be in better shape. When it's connected, there is NO way to quickly scroll through songs. I'm used to the simplicity, and ease of the iPod's interface...doing it through the head unit at 1/5th the speed is a GIANT PITA! I've got a 60gig that I had connected to it with 10,000 songs or so, and I could never get past "C" on the 'Artist Search'.

Really great work Doug. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif)

You should be very proud. Very few people ever know the satisfaction you should feel for amazing job you did resurecting that car. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif)
