It won't be long before the teener gets ready for a winters nap. I acquired some things over a period of time and this is what I've got planned for the winter project.
I'm going to put together a spare motor for the 914. I've been busy doing a lot of powder coating. I got all the small pieces of the tin done, now I've been working on the bigger tin pieces and other odds and ends. Attached image(s) |

Box O goodies... I have a complete D jet injection setup. ECU rebuilt, brand new MPS, ECU and MPS match. New fuel injectors, new TPS, heads, crank, rods, all the bearings, still have to get a cam and lifters. I have new Mahle 94mm Euro pistons, I'm not building a race car just a spare motor.. This will keep me busy during the cold months of winter. I'm in no hurry so I plan on taking my time and doing the job right.

I planed a winter project. Then it turned into a summer project and on into the next winter.
Now I just keep it going and broadcast the finishing of a setp in the general progress. Good Luck. :PERMAGRIN: Joe |

Sweet!!!!!!!!!!!! Speaking of sweet, thanks for letting me borrow your guitar. I'm a nylon string guy(Gibson C1) and yours didn't even hurt my fingers. Great find. And we're so envious of you Northern types. You get to work on your cars all winter. We always get sidetracked with January days like this. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) Attached image(s) |

That looks so nice that I don't think you can leave it as a spare. I expect to see it in the car for next year's RRC for "show-n-tell"! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

Got the rest of the big pieces of tin finished and I finished up the fan shroud this morning.. I cleaned all the grease and grime off the shroud using brake cleaner and some rags it came out really clean. Then I used some etching primer then finished it off with some cast coat, we'll see how long the paint last on this shroud.
I took a few pics of how the shroud came out. Attached image(s) |
