I agree with Matt.

With that said I'd love to see what you plan on for the side intakes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Cool build

This morning I got all the wires located, I know where all the wires go. Didn't know that when I put the box together. I have 2 more batches to heat shrink and a few more wires to cover. I'm doing the trouble shooting in the front trunk. I usually install every thing into the car and then do the trouble shooting. This should go much quicker.

I will really be glad to be done with this. It has been a lot of work.

Found a bad relay. Order a new one but won't be here till Friday. Still have plenty to do. Wash Carerror. Change the fuel tank and lines. Funny that I don't use methanol fuel except in the cars, I keep the boat full with none meth and fill the tools and toys from it. Still the fuel lines in Carerror have gotten hard in just 2 years. I guess when we switch over to electrons Methanol will go away.

Got the last of the heat shrink done, some small things to take care of. Still have to reassemble the dash. But pretty much the wiring loom is complete.

So I totally forgot about the fit of the small fuel tank with the E-Box. It is going to work.

I liked this tank from the moment I saw it. First saw it at a boat show in LA, knew it was perfect for an Auto Cross car. Used in Drag Boat racing and made in So Cal. Holds 1.5 galons, about enough for 5 minutes of fast driving. Perfect for tag teaming the car. You get 4 laps and come in and refuel the car while the next driver takes care of tire temp and pressure.

A little more progress today. Installed the fuel tank and switches and put the dash cover and the gauges back in. Still have about 4 single wires to heat shrink left.
Some more pictures.

Hey Shane, she is running a 78 3.0 with carbs. Probably less than 200HP and the weight is around 1600 pounds.

Got a little more done today, cleaned some, put the dash back together and installed the mirrors. Still have to hook up the tach and indicator lights. Running the dash lights when the key is on.
Picture of the day.

Both of the windscreens are broken so this is a good time to replace them. I ordered them yesterday and when they arrive I'll post pictures of the installation. I was a little rough installing them the first time but this time I have a better handle on what I want and better tooling to make it happen.
Mark was correct as far as a plan goes I usually don't have one, when I decided to put a front wing on, I had no idea where I was going with it. And I stated that on, "What did you do to your 914 today?" thread. I said, "I'm winging it" long before I got the inspiration to put it 2" from the ground. I knew that I wanted something to change a condition of the handling of the car and my first thought was to add weight to the front of the car. When I was doing the dash my goal was to cover the ugly ness of the cowling. I may not have a complete vision of my end goal but my execution is excellent.
I wish I could weld. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

After I sell the house in Huntington Beach. That and rebuild the motor and a Sheridan body. But, just like you, it's only a matter of money.
One weekend in El Toro I took off a link to the sway bars (f and r) and the car was tail happy. Hooked up the rear, went back out and the rear was planted. Still had some push , but I was out of time.
Before that I had been running 911 T bars, they were too stiff. Went back to the 914-4 T bars. Now I want to get rid of the vented brakes also. Brakes don't get hot so I could lose some weight there.

Finally got to do some cleaning. Getting the box finished and almost ready to tie it down. Looking much better than it did as rainbow spaghetti.

The tach and indicator lights still need to be hooked up and the front lights still need to be done.

First of all I would like to thank all y'all for stopping by and fallowing my build. I am surprised at the number of people viewing here. Currently I am working on my divorce which is consuming me. Yesterday I opened the garage door and looked inside, yep Carerror is still waiting for me. I am currently waiting on a relay and new windscreens. But today I hope to finish with the totals of my expenditures from 1/17 to present.
Building a wing is much more fun then FALCON TOTALS. In a few more days I will be done with this shit and go back to my vehicle fantasy.

I can't wait to turn a wrench…

I put all the invoices and receipts for our house remodel work in a folder, and in Quicken ... and was pleased when it was all tabulated.

I'm also keeping a running tab on the trailer conversion. Still have a little ways to go, but the budget is looking good so far.

I'll have to do do some backtracking when it comes time to add-up the cost for 'HOWARD's build, as I've been purchasing items for that restoration since 2007 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Good luck on the big 'D' stuff ... and make sure to let me know when you plan to visit So Cal ... maybe we can squeeze in a trip to Slater's while you're in town (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Thanks guys. Should be over in July but I'm sure they will find another way to delay it again. So far it has cost 3 times as much as it should have and taken 7 times the time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

I wanna get back to work on Carerror. Oh it's 4:20.
