front piece was a bit tricky, and the lower small side pieces that cover side if cylinder heads, it all goes back on a certain way or it just wont fit correctly - while i was at it- already dis the front crank seal and now a new alternator belt, and today i put in the cylinder head temp gauge wire, that ill be added to my center console- ordered a dakota digital- Mike you can tell them i got one due to their sponsorship of 914 Okteenerfest-

last picture- kind of out of order- i will finish the other side later, lost one of the studs that backed out when took the intake runners off. After that i will hook up the new wires, and harness- i want it to be as clean and organized as i can- i also have a whole new set of Vac lines! orhers were not bad, but dirty after 9 years-

Quick tip. Save your old intake gaskets. Put duct tape over one side and bolt back on to prevent items from getting inside intakes. Works much better than stuffing things in the opening. Looking good! |

Sometimes it is hard for us that only have the limited knowledge base of mere mortals to even get them back together let alone paint them correctly. To be clear, that was very tongue in cheek comment. I learn a little more each time you post a bit of info. But that would be a cool kind of write up. Proper engine colors! |

QUOTE(dr914@autoatlanta.com @ Jul 2 2018, 01:49 PM) does look great, to be politically correct, the intake runners should be gray zinc yea, i know, but they get dirty so fast- i resisted temptation in a lot of areas but i am no longer 100% original, - color will be correct on car but i have 5 lug with 16" fuchs , LED dash gauges thanks Timothy!, but almost every thing is Porsche including the now back dates chrome bumpers- undortunately you know better than anyone George how in the past people stripped down cars that were good ans saveable- when i got this car some sucker had taken out the AP groups stuff the car came with, like my center console, Fog light bumpers and fog lights so i had to source all that to get it back and of course try finding an original center console in good shape!. So this started 10 years ago and you Mark Whitesell and others have helped fill a lot og gaps since then. if not for Chris Foley doing the MPS rebuild kits i would have hd Bob Woodman put on a custom FI injection anlong time ago. so trying to stay very close to original as i can. - nothing that cannot be changed back including the bumpers. If i had it to do over again though i would have just sourced some nice 2.0 Fuchs and stayed in the "Original class" for local, regional PCA and Okteenerfest. |

That copper is going to look SO GOOD. I saw a freshly painted one several years back. Very rich color and the metallic really pops in the sunlight.

its funny how the camera will show color differently in different lighting or angles- the one picture looks much closer to the correct copper color , the others look more red.
the firewall, floors and underside of floor pan and trunk are all being shot with a tinted coating. i am not sure even what its called, but on the floors and firewall it will add some sound deadening insulation and underside a lot more protection from the elements like road grime rocks etc. I believe this was all yesterday, he will be shooting all the base and clear on all the outer panels the next couple days.
