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.

Last year I bought a company that manufactures gear for aviators. We have been adding a line of motoring gear, in Porsche cloths - bags, tool wraps, totes, etc. Those shoes are prototypes. They match my seats. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
