Nice clean hubs. I taped off the bearing surfaces before blasting. Shorter studs will be pressed in this weekend. They were set up for 1" spacers because of the Phonedials that were on the car before.

Aluminum cross member was blasted as well (after cleaning all the crud off first).

Fuel tank is done.

It was blasted, powdercoated, sealed with the POR tank sealing kit (you do this carefully AFTER the powdercoating), fuel line fittings redone, fuel sender refurbed, new gaskets, and new hardware.

Voila

Karl.. I split the topics. We have a ton of control over the BBS. We can split and move threads at will.

Karl, your car is going to be SO SWEET when you're done, that you're going to have to hire a bevy of supermodels to sprinkle rose pedals on the road ahead of you wherever you drive. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) You also may want to think about purchasing a set of velvet ropes to put around it when you're parked in public areas.

I see you're not using the spacer.
Don't like living on the edge?

The "spacer" is actually a 4 to 5 bolt adapter from the PO. The new car will have 9x16 fuchs in the rear...

Nice to see your son home...

Nah...with a 914, you can have two trunk monkeys!

Since time = $$$, I think Karl's got the first $1,000,000 914!

Who says Bilstein front strut housings have to be Bilstein green? Why can't they be Bilstein Yellow? The powder coat color (signal yellow) is pretty darn close to Bilstein yellow.

They should come together this weekend! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
