QUOTE(Todd Enlund @ Dec 14 2007, 01:25 PM)  Hmmm... I'm in for $35 so far. I traded services for the 914. I guess if you look at opportunity cost, I would have charged $800 for the services otherwise. I bought a Momo steering wheel for $35. Can't find an adapter for a '71 /4 though. Everything else that I have done so far has been disassembly and cleaning. My estimate is that by the time I am done, I will have spent $20K. Still less than half the price of an Elise. Edit: I forgot... I also spent $18 on vinyl to make new door panels. Todd; The adapter number for MOMO is made up of the last four digits of the MOMO part number. For an item I sold last year on eBay, the MOMO part number was 12112110230, so the corresponding adapter number was 0230. MOMOUSA is located in Santa Margurita, CA, which is about 3 miles from where I live. PM me with your MOMO part number and description, and I should be able to provide you with the adapter number and possibly, a few references of where to buy the part.

That's the one that I had... Momo 230... but it is for a 914-6 or early 911. The splines are the same, but the cancelling ring and mounting depth are different than my car (a '71 914-4). I think I have a solution... I gave my adapter to someone that is installing an early 911 column, and in exchange, I will receive a '74 column with a Momo adapter (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
From what I've been able to tell, Momo did make an adapter for the early 914-4, but it was a race-only part (non-collapsible hub) and has been long discontinued. I've got a bit more than $35 in my car now... unfortunately, most of the money that I've spent so far has gone to people that appear to have ripped me off. I did get a good deal on a 2.0 core and a 78mm crank though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I'm about to throw $1300 at flares and sheetmetal for the iron moths.

$1300 so far, but as can be seen below, I have a long way to go. I have that feeling of looking down the precipice, the moment after you jumped.

As for me, Brad Penn Oil 13qts of it every 3,000 miles, I could use a better holding clutch disc, maybe a dual boost controller, a bigger stronger transmission, axles, cv's ect. ect ect.
Let me know if i need or am forgetting anything else.... Attached image(s)

Losing my mind... Group: Members Posts: 2,476 Joined: 26-May 06 From: Charlotte, NC Member No.: 6,073 Region Association: South East States |
One day someone asked me about what such and such I had on Papa Smurf. I couldn't remember off the top of my head, so I grabbed the folder of receipts and started looking. I specifically DID NOT look at any of the totals at the bottom, but my peripheral vision picked up every one, and my brain became a supercomputer adding machine and quickly added everything up. Luckily, halfway through the pile, and $45,000 later...I found what I was looking for...

I bought my race car from the owner who built and raced the car since it was a puppy about 15 years ago.
He sent me this box a couple months back, EVERY reciept for the car. The car was raced, and constantly changed and improved, the box just reflects what the PO/builder put into the car over time. I haven't added the reciepts up, but I'm guessing North of 250G's Attached image(s)

Love to see some pics of your car Puff (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
I must admit I get a little queezy feeling in my stomach everytime I see this thread come up and think about how much I have in mine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) At least I get to enjoy every dollar spent on this car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

I have to guesstimate about $4ooo. total so far just in parts. I should say that Conedodger saved me some $$ on a straight front deck that kept me out of trouble with the wife! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Close to $5oo. in tools, and so far about 100 hours of work. Long way to go!!

I am smilin'... Group: Members Posts: 890 Joined: 15-January 08 From: Sunrise Florida Member No.: 8,573 Region Association: South East States |
...Well, as I look through my build sheet...
I have invested about...holy crap ! I have spent about 8200 in parts, and expect to spend another 900.00 on up and coming parts, and I can only estimate my labor at standard rate, (which is not added in). I have some welding left and preparation for the paint and body, which I haven't started yet. I estimate another 2k there and another 2k on the engine and wiring. I guess that will place me at 14k total at the turn of the new year, and it is still on jack stands. I am waiting for the cooler weather to finish my welding and sanding. Hopefully by mid-January, it will finally be on it's wheels, and I can take some photos of it. My daughter was 9 when I started this trek, and now she's 18 and graduating this year. When she was 12, she stated that I would finished it just in time for her to drive it...as it turns out, she was correct. |
