Well, gud deals take awhile so here it is painted.....I don't like how the front bumper is mounted...too much of a gap between the bumper and the fenders and hood.....but I guess I can adjust it.

Looks Good , That exhaust looks way better than the supertraps

isn't there a rubber piece that helps fill the gap?

BTW; I saw a pair of Bunny Ears hanging on the wall of Local Myth Pizza in
Lake Chelan , Washington . Are they You'res? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif)

Who knows where the ears ended up....I had two...but somehow lost them in the Neverland Bus....I woke up the next day with a bad taste in my mouth and Aaron's phone number in my pocket and somehow wearing Matt's long shorts..... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif)

As to the gasket...yeah, the little winky board said the same thing....wonder where I can get it?

I bought a heavy tail car last year, a fairly clean, for the midwest, 74 coupe, that will be my long term project car, to keep my 74 teen'r company. The 914 is a committed DE car, and the 911 is a little better weekend street car (based on my aging butt) and how it feels after a hundred miles of pot holes. For the next couple of years while I still have to work for a living, I am just going to use it in the summer as a weekend driver, but someday (when I retire in two years) it is going to come apart.
I am considering using MAShaw's yellowbird pieces and SC flairs. Know anyone who has done it?

Anyway, I like the looks of your long nose SC. Congratulations on getting it this far. Can't you figure out how to raise the bumper enough to fill the gap and leave out the rubber strip altogether?

What muffler do you have on it?

What happened to the water fall, I never did see it?

Custom made muffler,,,it has a 3.6 from a 91 and the cat needed to be fitted behind the engine instead of along side like the stock exhaust system....the 91s moved the oil tank forwrd of the rear wheels...the SC has the tanke where the cat would be on a stock set up.....

This thing is FAR from original...I guess I should call it the Michael Jackson Special.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif)

Looks really good Mike.

How much fabrication work does a bumper conversion like that take? Or is it pretty much bolt on stuff?

Well, two hours later....I gots running lights, blinkers and everything else....what a PITA. Morons wired the turnsignals into the headlights....first clue was when I couldn't find the blinker wiring when I pulled the blinker assemblies.....

Pulled the headlamps and found the blinkers wired into the low beam circuit. Since the fenders and headlight buckets are f/g I had to run grounds to the chassis and do some rerouting.....

Anyhow....all better now.
