You need to just get it back on the road asap. It will give you the high to keep going with it. Too many projects never make it back on the road and owners get 914 burnout.

So the front end of the car is entirely done. I was there around 5:30 as Richard was bolting on the gravel shield under the steering rack. Here's what it looks like. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wub.gif)

The plan is to install the rear suspension tomorrow and bolt on the wheels and the car is a roller again. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

I pointed out to him that he was using the wrong hardware for the gravel shield, he was using 17mm allen bolts (like on a 911) so he checked the factory manual, saw I was right (the old bolts were in the zip lock bag tagged "gravel shield bolts") and put new bolts in later. Hey, don't want some concours wennie taking points off for wrong hardware. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif)

Everyone, and I do mean everyone, who comes into the shop says "that 914 is better than new." That was the goal. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rocking nana.gif)

Hey, I got Richard in that last shot, on the phone with his wife who wanted to know why he wasn't on his way home to New Hampshire yet!!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool_shades.gif)

Richard said he really enjoyed being able to assemble the suspension with the car on the rotissiere. THANKS CHRIS FOLEY!!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/welder.gif)

I got Richard to pose for this last one. Tommorrow should see the Fuchs on the ground. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/monkeydance.gif)

That looks real good William!
I like seeing the suspension going on with the car upside down. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)
Soon, while you are installing the interior I'll be working on the engine.

A local 914 club member volunteered to drop off some steel wheels for the remainder of the paint job. Guess it will roll next door today. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

I can't believe these suspension pieces were in my garage for 18 months, hanging on the wall. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/boldblue.gif)

Richard needs to finish up rear hubs to hold the new wheel bearings in place. Notice how he has touched up and detailed everything. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)
