I was talking to John at WCR this last weekend and he mentioned that he has a 6 conversion that's about 90% put together. He was waiting for McMark to find him a slot to get it put together, but that was not in the cards. He's having a harder time working on his car lately due mostly to health issues, and I'd really love to see him be able to enjoy this car instead of being a garage queen indefinitely.
I'd like to see if someone local could help head up a work party to help out one of our own to realize the dream of completing this car. I'm willing to donate whatever I can to help out. Looks like the engine has a fuel leak it's a 3.2. No leaks with key on but while running (Injection side?). Back glass needs to be installed - I can donate the butyl and setting blocks. Interior needs to go back in. Not sure to what extent, but he may need some interior pieces. Sounded like it was mostly complete. I would do it myself if he was local to me. He's in Antioch. |

No Parts list yet but I stopped by and visited with John Saturday afternoon.
I looked into the fuel leak which is a fuel return hose between the engine and body line. I'll get fuel hose and some clamps before the work day. Mike Mueller has the seats and the seat cover kits and is going to be working on those. I don't know what that involve or if he'll need or want some help with the seats. Here are the things I saw and John talked about needing: Rear window needs to be removed and resealed. Back pad is out already but the roll bar pad and B-pillar pads need to come out. John has a replacement rear roll bar pad. He has the back pad to go back in after the window is sealed. I think all he needs is the butyl tape for the window. Carpets (both longs, tunnel) need to be glued down and his floor mats don't have grommets and anything to anchor them. Either need to add grommet (if that is possible) or other anchors or glue them down. Both door panels, pockets, armrests, inner door release/lock handles & window cranks need to be installed. I think John has all those parts. I don't know about hardware such as door panel screws and clips or window cranks. A couple things I saw that John did not say anything about. Rear Targa top seal to the rollbar is torn and some of the engine seals are torn or missing. Like all 914s there are other things that need to be done or John would like done but getting the interior back together and fixing the fuel leak gets him back on the road. Jim |
