Ok, so maybe not under it's own power just yet, but it made it outside for a little sunshine. After reaching a good break point today, I rolled my car outside to finally get a look at that GT silver in the sun. I must say, it's inspiring to see it in the light of day. Now just a little more wrenching and it goes out under it's own power!

Haven't posted any progress pics of the car in a while. I've been busy working on clutcu and throttle linkages, fabricated/modded a muffer to clear the Wevo trans and provide a center outlet.

I still need to finish up wiring the gauges, fitting the front bumper and air dam, make the piece of shit rockers fit, bleed brakes, fill oil and gas........and go!

Ok.......Mirrors are Miata power version, Wheels are 2003 911 17" (17x9 rear, 17x7 front)

The exhaust was a project in itself. It was a 911 sport muffler of some sort. It had 4 pipes as exits. I cut off the 4 pipes, then I had to remove a big section from the back to clear the Wevo trans. I did some rebaffling and added a section to the rear to re-gain the volume I removed from the backside. The I weld 2 2 1/2" tubes in the center for exits and used a BMW stainless oval twin tube tip. I have an early deep valence and I'm planning on fitting it around the exit. I'm not sure how the muff will work, but what hell ! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

Looks like it does well in the sun. It's similar to what mine will look like come springtime (if time permits) and I quit driving mine.

(I plan on doing flares this winter, I did my engine last winter and am driving it now as a narrow body.)

Silver is really the best color for 914's (followed closely by Signal Orange, then Red)

I do like the wheels as well. Please share what they are from.

I should have take pics of the muffler as I was working it, but here's a couple of what I started with and the chunk I had to cut out to clear the Wevo. I'll take some shots of the finished product tomorrow and post them.
