Test-fitting the heat exchangers to the motor just to make sure there weren't any surprises since I want to install the engine with them off to assure no damage to those beauties.
Also you can see that I machined a little off of the ribs on the valve covers. I know you can do half only (where the suspension consol is tight) but I thought it looked cleaner to shave them evenly.  |

Perfect.
Your knack for acquiring NOS treasures is staggering. Like everyone else, I keep waiting for updates and when they happen I always end up going, "OMG, he's found those too!?!" mike |

One of the most incredible builds I have ever seen. My hat is off to you and I am bowing. I just love this thread and it is the example I hope to follow when it is time to restore my '71 914-6. Just leaves me speechless. I can't wait to see more pictures - please.

Beautiful restoration! I'm sure the results are spectacular in person, there doesn't appear to be any short cuts taken. Your commitment to the high quality of this project is inspiring.

Like everyone else, I keep waiting for updates and when they happen I always end up going, "OMG, he's found those too!?!" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) One off, lucky finds, are just that: one off and lucky. But you have too many of them on this project for them all to be luck; you've got skills. Do you have a list of your sources for anything that wasn't a one off find? How about a 'how to' book, "Mining for Unobtanium"? I'd buy a copy. |
