Jim and crew continue to spend time blocking and sanding the body. The lines on this car are beautiful (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wub.gif)

Rick and Richard, the crew at Autobahn Performance in Peabody, MA are building up the suspension. All suspension parts have been powder coated. I am installing the Elephant Racing polybronze bearings and other goodies, new ball joints (German) and turbo tie rods, adjustable Konis, 100 lb springs and front and rear anti-sway bars (OEM). Can't wait to show more next week. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/boldblue.gif)

So after tapping all the holes to remove paint, and building up the front suspension subassembly, Richard is really moving the project along. First thing, he ran the solid stainless steel fuel lines thru the tunnel (thanks Chris Foley) and out the fire wall into the new fuel line grommets (thanks Brad and HPH). Then he ran the hard line from the brakes thru both ends and hung the cleaned up brake proportioning valve. Oh, I forgot the new clips for the fuel lines (thanks again Brad and HPH). Here's what it looks like today.

Notice all the factory manuals on "top" of the car? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) Hey, I need to get bronze bushings for the shift rod and lever for the tranny. Best source. Here's another view. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mueba.gif)

The front suspension is basically back on the car for the first time in more than a year. All pieces powder coated, Elephant Racing poly bronze everything, turbo tie rods and coming soon, the adjustable Konis (thanks again Brad and HPH). Here's the front end as of noon today.

Thanks Adam. But there is still an awful lot of work ahead over the next couple of months. There is no wiring in the car. I have to install the refurbished main harness (thanks Jeff Bowlsby) and wire up everything. Then there is the whole interior. Alot has to be restored, subdash, new dash pad installed, all interior trim, etc. And we haven't even gotten to the engine (another Chris Foley project - thanks to three boxes of parts from Jake Raby and 2.0 head work from Len Hoffman), so my best efforts might yield a driver by July. We definitely will announce a fire it off party. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif)

Well,

when it's all done it'll be well worth it... It took me about a year of work before I had mine on the road, and 15k miles later I still love it... By the time you get that done it looks like it'll be better than new, and ready for a few long trips! if you have it done by Porsche Parade that could be a fun one...
