My neighbor told me I should pick-up the pace. If not, I won't be driving before 2010

Got the NOS genuine 6 wiper motor installed. While I had the wiper transmission out, I disassembled it, cleaned and lubricated all parts and replaced the bushings,

I had some extra time so I installed the New bracket for the CD along with a Bosch rebuilt CDI box.

I got the engine seal in there too. that was a PITA!

The rear deck hinges and new plastic rollers are in. I was thinkin' about using the updated brass rollers, but these look cooler (to me). The shoulder bolts should be body color, but I thought it would be a shame to paint them after the nice yellow zink plating job.

The NOS front windshield seal went in easier than I thought it would, maybe because the aluminum channels are new?

I used Windex as a lubricant, maybe that was why it went in easy? Either way, it's in and looks great.

Last items I did this weekend was installing the muffler heat shield and the genuine 6 transmission mounts. The freshly plated hardware looks cool, maybe a bit too brite, but cool.

I like it just the way it is....
Clean the rest of the crap out of the garage and just leave it on display...

Finish up the garage wiring....and for crying out loud...marble would look alot better than concrete...

Love the car.

This is an awesome build, love the car.

I wish someone would sell a complete plated hardware, nut and bolt kit for 914s.

That would be a big seller for sure.

How long will zinc plated hardware retain its color in a well cared for (but driven)
car? Does the zinc corrode over time?

Got my butt out to the garage today and installed the lower control arms and cross member. I think they're the originals, they had no rust, but I took them to bare metal and painted them with mat epoxy. The steering rack cleaned-up nicely. I will install a new set of Turbo Tie Rods too.

The struts are NOS Bilsteins. Of course I installed new ball-joints. Calipers are rear 968 which were modified to fit the 3.5" struts.

John-

I have no idea how long the plating will last. When I took the car apart, there was a lot of visable yellow plating. Most of it was pretty nasty though.
