4 days to Amelia!
I thought I’d start a thread for anyone getting your car ready for Werks Reunion/Amelia Island. I’d love hear about your progress. If you’re like me, you probably need some encouragement. I have no idea how a I will get the car ready in time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) But a deadline with some accountability will help. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) My goal is to do something on it every day. We will see. So where are you on getting your car ready? Here is where I am starting: I made some more room in the garage and got it turned around today. But family duties kept me from getting anything else done. Here is what I need to do in the next month or so: Get engine running - rebuilt, but never run but for a few minutes at most Install carbs Pull the alternator back out because I get spark when I hook up battery - back plate of alternator grounding out? Put side windows and wing windows back in - Uggg Install new rubber Install windshield Install rear window Install engine lid and 3 powder coated grills Install headlight covers Install side rocker covers Install chrome Get new tires mounted on wheels Install master cylinder/bleed brakes Install shifter hook shift rod up Install interior - carpet, back pad, etc. Install new steering wheel I think that pretty much covers it.

those are the clips, and you want to put those in before the window, I found out having sapped a few off that its very hard if not impossible to get them in after the window is in place

Maybe a dumb question - which end goes in the hole in the channel on the car? I just want to make sure I get it right before the windshield goes in. Also, I think you said you have some extra rubber pieces left over. Let me know what you have and I’ll probably take it off your hands. |

Let me know what you have and I’ll probably take it off your hands. the clip will go in with the bevel side up, pin is out, once the clip is pushed into the hole you push the pin in to hold it into place. I do have lots of bits, some seals and extra e-brake connector covers, targa top holders for trunk, etc etc, seals for tail lights, side marker lenses, wiper blades, too many things to listl I have most stuff in 2 bins I can throw them in my truck when I come up and you can go thru it all and see if you need anything. most stuff is new, either 914rubber or URO, some extra rear targa seals too, license plate light seals, =------ |

Then you push the round pin on the opposite side (blue arrow) in to hold it? And the side that is beveled goes up/out? Attached image(s) |
