Also made a cable boot release as I've welded up the boot lock and put a GT style 356 hub badge there.
One day I'll replace the amateurish boot floor repair made by the last owner (IMG:http://www.thesey.com/pictures/bootrelease.jpg) (IMG:http://www.thesey.com/pictures/CANYOUSEETHEJOIN.jpg) |

I have a whole list of things that I should do to it.... I just can't keep myself from driving it. The weather stays nice so long down here that you have to force yourself to putting it on stands.

Um.....
-Well I am trying to decide wether or not to re ring the engine as after 500 hard miles I believe I am not seated (blows a lil smoke) Runs like a scat rat so if it aint truly broke need I fix it??? - Pull the engine and re torque the head nuts - Valve adjust - Do a leak down to determine the above - yank the rear wheela and fix the right and left inner fender wells where me tires were rubbing (re spray) wet sand and buff OR respray another clear coat and do the above..... Aside from that I am pretty happy unless you have a spare TB diff for free....:-) |

Well, mine is in the storage garage. If I can manage to keep the snow out of the front of the OH door I plan to pull it out early and get started.
Pull the new engine and change the lame US cams for the euro "S" set I just scored. Re-torque the Raceware studs and Cometic head gaskets. Fix some oil leaks. Fix my CIS weirdness. Change out my rear springs. Add my custom made 4130 anti-sway bars. Fix my cowl seams once and for all. Fix the damage I did to the 916 front bumper. All chassis stiffners. Adjust my rear brake air gap. I'm sure there are several other projects that will pop up on this list. BTW: none of this will get done if I don't finish my friends Mercedes or Sandy's Healey this winter. |

I do not think there is enough space for my list. I am building a 914 for ITB in SCCA. This is the state it is in now. Needs to be ready for Feb 21 Road Atlanta. I have all the parts just need to complete the puzzle. First thing on the list is paint.

I am moving along assembling my car. Hope to have it ready for the Monterey Historics. What I have to do in very broad scope:
finish installing brake lines and brakes, finish wiring harness install, oil tank and front oil cooler install, engine install, paint prep, paint, door project, install interior, install windshield and rear window, modify engine compartment lid and paint, alignment, and a lot of miscellaneous. Hope to have all this done by Spring 2009 Steve Hurt |

Jeez....loaded question.....
(IMG:http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u307/Sleepin1974/Jess%20914s/102_0045.jpg) have to part out three, keep the parts I need to get two more running. Get the heads and engine back in the wife's 2.0. Do the brakes on my 1.8, put a 2.0 into my 1.8....and do a 5 lug conversion on my 1.8L..... Seven 914's.....and I have one that runs good. The wife's 2056 should be up soon though.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |

Stripping the paint to the metal, some minor body work, and taking it to the paint shop.
 Since I took this picture I've completed stripping the driver side and rear trunk, removed the front and rear bumpers, removed all turn signals, removed the window trim and radio antenna and removed the windshield wipers. I'll take the rocker panels off tomorrow and strip them seperately. The last paint job appears to be about 3-4 years ago. I found some bondo that had never hardened. Either too thick or not enough hardening agent. This all started as a result of paint bubbling on the door panels and rear trunk. The good news - no rust, just a lot of bad paint prep work by the PO. Once I complete the stripping, I am applying a fine layer of filler and sanding to create really straight sides and trunk panels. Then a thin coat of self-etching primer, then off to the paint shop. My biggest fear - not sanding the side and trunk panels good enough to ensure no rippling appears when the paint shop applies the black paint. Ah, but that's the fun part!

for my 70 :
Take to McMarks for battery tray replacement and 6 mount welded in and repaint the hood (rest of paint is excellent OE). rebuild 2.7 engine I just bought. I am thinking 10.75:1 compression, S cams, twin plug ignition, arp rod bolts in the stock rods, case goes to ollies, heads off to german precision, list is long for the rebuild. SC front suspension Rear arms off to PMB S4 4piston front brakes 944 turbo rear brakes 911 e brake buy tires for the fuchs I bought Jury is out on the fuel system carbs or pmo injection install new dash (maybe ask Mark to do this) install felt back pad put carpets and rest of interior back in send gear box to Dr. Evil for rebuild and maybe 912 gears 23 mm front torsion bars new adjustable bilstien rear coil overs , springs and shocks 23 mm master cylinder .... on and on but I think this will not all be done over the winter will probably creep into spring and first part of summer. Hopefully, I will get enough done to make it to WCR this year. For the 72: Maybe nothing this year. It might have to wait to be next winters project. |

well, fix the damage from the accident that i had talked about a few weeks back in my bad news thread,
that intails mods to the front end getting rid of the pop ups widening the fenders custom spoiler oh and paint (midnight metallic blue) and all the custom body work that im goin to do with those mods. and in the process build a 2056 to get me buy until i can get a wrecked boxster and use the engine and tranny from that for my car and interior and sound system or just a nice stereo, there is going to be a lot of customizing parts and exhaust and mounts and hmm, i may even think of a roll cage. not to mention suspension, i need 140lb springs for the rear and a sway bar for the rear. this is where i want to be a couple years from now. but im planning on doing the body work and paint this winter/spring |
