Most of the weekend was spent lengthing the wiring harness. I need the rubber boot on the fire wall to face to the right side of the car and run up the right side, across the top of the firewall and then to the relay board. I sectioned a harness from a parts car I had. (I don't throw away anything) Every wire was soldered with induvidual shrinkwraped then I covered the new harness with some big shrink wrap. I need to pick up some brackets to hold the new harness but it's ready to install.

This is my first post on this BBS, but I recognize a bunch of names from the PP BBS.
I just wanted to say Rich, you are one BAD ASS fabricator!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) You have inspired me to get the hell out in the garage and finish up the '73 (that was put on a 2 year hold while I was in school). Wish I could make the WCC with you guys...maybe WCC 2005! First time I've seen a 928 engine...WICKED!! I'm still hashing over the idea of a "Northstar" transplant myself. Hope to see the "Alien" in person someday! Kevin |

Hi rich,
i'm following your project since you've launched your website with the first pics. It's an incredible work and I can not wait to see how it will look when it's finished !!! I'm from germany and we have two cars here build by the same person with a 928 engine. Unfortunately I have not much details about these cars but I know that he is using 915 trannies and one of the two cars is provided with a 928 gts engine. The firewall to the passenger compartment is modified on both cars as well as the rear trunk. One question out of curiosity: Do you think that it's possible to install a 928 engine without modifying the firewall ? keep up the real great work and provide us with more pics of your car !!! Benno |

Benno Hey, Great to see you post here! We have several Germans here now! (sorry me deutschland nit so good) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I've seen photos of both the German cars. They are outragous! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) I attempted to contact the owner but he never responded to my emails. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) This conversion is not for the faint of heart. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) You will have to cut the passanger compartment fire wall. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) Post some photos of your car in the members pictures thread in the nailed section at the top of the BBS. |

Hey Rich!
I'm with the others -- when you post progress, it's a serious motivator. The pics are huge. I have to see the alien at some point. It's becoming like a mecca or something. Is WCC looking like a possibility still? kim. |

Ya Ya.. I used to own a Collision store. I had 6 guys doing Collision and Custom work. I could have built this car in 3 months not 3 years! My life is different now. I have a regular job that is sucking the life out of me. But money talks and Bullshit walks.
It looks like I have alot of work left. And I do. But I'm pulling in some top talent (brother inlaw, friends) and training my son and his friends as we finish up some of the key parts of this conversion. I have the big push on now for the WCC and Barber Daves MWC. Your enthusiasum is helping to drive me forward. If I can make the WCC you all can too. Because of the date of the event. I'm trailering the car out myself. I'm having my two sons and two of my oldest sons friends (the build crew) get out of school a week and a half early. They are flying with my wife to the Bay Thursday for the event. This thing is costing me big! But I'm really looking forward to meeting all of you! |

Wow. I hope we live up to our billing out here!! (jeezus, I whine about the oil leaks from my car -- hm... and the radio doesn't work -- time to by a boxter -- heh heh -- never happen)
Dude, I hope for good fabricating luck on your completion binge -- there will be hiccups no doubt, but you seem to have cooked through the big uglies in fine style! What are the big items left on the completion chart? (not meaning to bring up all the work right now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) -- just wondering where the big time hits will be on the build list) Best! kim. |

New gaskets and seals for the motor, (ordered and on the way)
Finish the cooling system, (95% done) Install the 19mm master cylinder, (17mm is outwaiting on new rubbers for the fill tubes ordered) Install the new clutch tube in the tunnel, semi-final install for mating the 928 wiring to the 914 harness, fuel line routing, cooling line routing, and gauges, build an exhaust Complete teardown for Complete repaint inside and out, final assembly, I have a cabinet maker building a sub-box and consule, I have an upholstery guy doing the new back pad and Pasha seat inserts. The car is coming out to the classic in a kind of a down and dirty run what ya brung state. But next winter I can tear it down for a detail job. Count the days..... Your going to see some serious shit in the next two months... Don't Bug me!
