So I started going through Huey and getting into the details of where I want him to end up....then i looked across the garage and thought of all the things I need to do to Papa Smurf before the end of March (Road Atlanta Club Race)....

so, off the top of my head:

Huey:
-Swap new 2.7 engine for current 2.5 done...YAY!!!
-Fix engine leaks - valve covers, chain tensioner, something around the cylinders that worries me a bit, etc. well, not so done...still leaks
-swap engine sheet metal from 2.5 to 2.7 done
-fix oil line leaks done
-fix rear trunk hing done
-install fuel filter done
-Wevo SS trans mounts done
-fix front front steering rack bushings done
-replace stock rear sway bar with weltmeister not doing
-new shifter bushings done
-new rotors done
-new brake padsdone
-brake bias adjuster
-re-wire engine compartment for easy plug and play wires
-replace fuse panel with new blade fuses
-touch up various paint blemishesdone
-refinsh 2 Fuchs - Al Reed not doing this year
-redo dash face
-new steering wheeldone
-fix glove box (don't ask)
-polybronze front bushings, new ball joints, new tie rod endsdone
-GT style carpet?
....that's about for now until I go look at it again tomorrow...

For Papa Smurf:
-finish scraping floor and interior door "tar"
-re-duct front oil cooler to wheel wells
-lexan side windows for travel
-fix front spoiler (from my agricultural excursion at VIR)
-Limited slip not doing this year
-replace 1st gear done
....I'm sure I'm missing something.

So...these should keep me busy this winter.... What's your projects?

I was hoping to have my car torn down and well on its way already but without another car my project is still a daily driver, the winter plan is still so get the car painted, possible new floors, 911 front suspension, and a 2270/side shifter running and ready to head down to the WCR by may, wish me luck hahahaha

Hey I was just tinking about this (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
With a 914 budget of $0-$100 I want to
1) Learn and perform alignment
2) Raise ride height and grind for more neg camber
3) Re-do interior dash area with nice dash and gauge rings on my shelf
4) Re-do interior strip floors and see how bad rust is
5) Re-do interior strip back and do felt back pad while trying to keep interior light
6 5-point harnesses if I can scrap up more $$ for them and kirkey seats

2008 I rebuilt the 901 and all suspension with needle bearing bushings (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)
Raced once, drove around town 5 times (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
I want to put more miles on the 914 in 2009! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

My car is stripped down to the tub, and all the inside surfaces have been painted allowing me to start assembly. With the wheels on the ground and the engine installed, I can start exterior bodywork; got to be ready for WCR!!
