Decided to get the tach swapped out as it died a while back,I could only buy one from a later 911 (not silver dot) but it was cosmetically challenged so the price was right and it cleaned up nice after I fitted LED light strip inside,I have replaced the BA7 lamps with LED's also.
I will need to reset my Tachadaptor as my replacement tach works on a different voltage than the old one,I have the jumper to put back in when I find it,real bugger as I have all my parts packed away for when I move but have forgotten where they are (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) .
Wipers stopped working recently but after removing the lower dash trim piece I found the plug had come off the switch sorted that as its a loose fit, yet to test.

More to follow.

I had fun tying the 914 to a tree.

I also spent the last several weeks getting the Barn Find 944 running.

The rest of the time has been spent making the videos. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif)

Have you built this kit before? Not one of the better fitting kits out there. ENTEX had a kit but the detail was even worse. I think it was 10th scale.

Lots of fun that day. Didn't think about the virus.
I like this one with the smoke coming from every orifice.

Back in the day we used to use the GA Shadetree method for getting wrecked cars back in shape. Tie to a tree, put it in reverse and hold on tight, a bootleg frame straightner!

@djway - I have not built this one before and I'm not looking for anything spectacular - just fun. I'll build it up as much like mine as I can when it comes to cosmetics, anyway. Olympic blue, black bumpers, etc....I'll check out the entex offering, too....

Since the recovery from back surgery is going well and has renewed the spirit level of my mechanical ego, I need to start cleaning up my garage, as there's tools and boxes full of new car parts that have built up over the past year. It's supposed to rain next week, so I'll attempt to start consolidating and organizing a bit while stuck inside.

I'd like to make my way to the back to work on my old Harley. The front rotor got warped the last time I rode her in 2018, (long story), and I ordered a new rotor & brake pads and a front brake lever (which was the root cause). Hopefully we won't be on lock-down when summer rolls around, and I can take her out again (?)

Started working on the old Rigid Chopper.

Little tapping and I can't remember how long its been since I did lifters in it.

So I ordered new solid lifters and lifter blocks. Then took a close look at the cam and found a spot on it. Now I ordered an Andrews #7 cam for it. It has an OLD .475 Sifton cam in it now and is a screamer. The Andrews cam is as close in specs as I can find. Little more lift, but I have room on the S&S heads.

Its an 88 incher, 4 1/4 stroke and 3 5/8 bore, up fro the stock 74 inches.

So now I'm thinking maybe doing a cleanup bore and new S&S pistons. I do vaguely remember doing a hone and rings at least twice.

The paint on the cases and trans is looking pretty bad also. Along with the chrome on the rocker boxes and kicker cover.

I'm really afraid where this will end up...

We did that a couple weeks ago on a friends Jeep with a bent tie rod bar. we used a bolt drilled into the concrete from the frame job on my 914, I told him, go easy! We replaced it the next week. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon_bump.gif) LOL

I used a steel basketball post and a very large Oak tree as a frame machine when my nephew got hit in the side of his Datsun 510. A comealong and some very large tow straps were used to pull the B pillar back into place. He never did repaint the orange doors to match the blue car, but they fit.

I'm still working...no quarantine for me. But, since my youngest son is home from Texas A&M we did claybar, compound and polish my two 996's. I don't have good "after" pictures of each car but we did take them for a drive afterward. I let my son drive the red one and I drove the white one. They were "much faster" after the waxing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Hi all,
This stay at home order is a necessary inconvenience, but it is allowing me to spend some additional time with my car project. Lately been doing a lot of parts prep and cleaning prior to installing back in the car. Started the restoration of my 1968 E-Type in November 2018. The body work was performed by Bodywerks in Holly Hill, FL, and the engine build was done by Gary Hagopian. Below are some couple of pics.

Stating point.

Body work in progress. Complete floor, sills, and rocker panels were replaced as well as both door skins, trunk floor, lower rear quarters, and rear valance.
