Chappy,
You have taken the building of 914's to the highest level. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) Workmanship & the level of beauty is beyond words. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) Your car is beautiful & I love the color with black accents. Tom |

"Wow" thanks for the compliment Blizzy.
Doors are on....I may put the engine in tonight or finish the interior...???? The doors still need a final buffing before the windows and seals go on so I am inclined not to work on the interior but still have plenty of other things to do... Attached image(s)

Chappy,
Did you put a Brad Mayeur outside long kit on? I like the side marker lights as well. I was considering doing the same thing with mine. That car and your work on it is inspiring. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) It gives me something to aspire to with mine. |

I just picked up the hoods and engine lid, so more parts continue to go on.
I did the Brad Mayeur outers and the Engman inners... |

Ebay fits a Ford f150 or Mustang, yes they have lockable. I may get another as i polished through the chrome a little bit. I plan on replacing it with a polish aluminum one.

Chappy,
If you installed the Shine needle bearings did you have any tips? I'm debating whether to do this now while the struts are being rebuilt. Nice work! |

I used a big hammer.... I reamed the holes with a wire wheel brush with a hand drill in the arms and the inside of the bushing a little after it was driven in. I think if you have access to a press i would use it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) |

I am finding it hard to get everything to fit just right on the trunks because the new rubber seals aren't compressed enough, how long do these things take to break down, how did the factory deal with it. I know from past experience that when the door seals go on, the doors can get real tight.
I put the eye brows and headlight covers on today thats about it.. |
