Yeah, this was the first side and right after I realized the dust shields were not correct for S calipers and took the rotors off and deleted the shields. I did notice it was the drivers side and both bleeders are on top.

I had a few steps backwards today but got it done less the proportioning valve and bleeding

Wow! I have been away from the World for the last year and just spent the last 20 min on your thread. Having gone through some of the same process it's amazing to see it in pictures. Your quality of work is amazing and trust me in the end it will all be worth the trouble and time. My GT took 5 years and I never thought it wold be done. Badm

Lookin good!

You don't need clamps on the reservoir blue lines. No pressure there.

Did the 914's 6 and 4's come from the factory clamp less?

Maybe overkill but maybe not a bad idea to insure the lines never come loose and drip fluid on the paint.

This is the original line and it had claps on each hose? Not to say a PO had done it but it's the way it was when I got the car.

I don't disagree with Mark, but nobody ever lost their braking when they really needed it by clamping a hose that didn't technically need to be clamped. Mine appear to be clamped from the factory as well.

Doh! Double post.

Nice Andy! Any Updates?

Sadly No Work has been crazy and the car wont be ready for RRC this year. I'm not going to rush it and then make that drive to CO. my shake down test. I'll still be in the garage this weekend getting things done!!!

That sucks man...but it will add to the anticipation for us Red Rockers.

No fuchin way man! I'm taking a 3000 mile round trip & I don't even get to see your car . Bummer Andy . I was really looking forward to seeing it in person. Feel free to finish it & tow it up

What kind of a knuckle head would tow a non-running 914 to an event?

Most of us Erc, most of us...

Hey mister... what give with providing some updates?!?!? This thread is inspiring me to take on a GT conversion of my own for my little '72 yellow go-kart.

Please don't hold back, we ALL want to see more PROGRESS!!!

Oh, KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!

-The other 'YELLOW' 914 owner near you...

How the hell did I miss that . Nice one Eric although I think you joined me in that category

Yes, but IIRC, Erc's car started and ran once he got there.

That is two years in a row that Erc brings a car on a trailer and then it doesn't do much. Maybe he is only good at making cars stop, not go.

It is a true RATROD

Have a great time and looking forward to more photos.

Peter

All kidding aside & to get this back on topic!

PICTURES Andy . Any progress to report? Can't wait to see your car finished

Hey Andy,

Looking good . What's the current status on the 6 ?
I need some more motivation to do some work on my 6.
Take care and keep up the good work.

Brake lines on a restored 911

Hello 2014, Te holidays gave me some time to get back on the car its getting really close to drive train insertion!!!

Bruce Stone told me about Evapo-rust, breaks down the rust and wont harm the plastic or rubber bits

Glad to see you back! I have been missing this thread!

the window mech. runs very smooth now

Those window channels cleaned up GOOD.

I may have to rethink my eventual electric windows and just clean my dirty ones:-}

Muffler RSR Sport model and when I read the install sheet it say's "not for street use"

time to position the glass bumpers and epoxy on the brackets, then off to paint with the rockers and front valance

I added a WTB post in the classifieds and I'm looking for early door glass, drivers main window and passenger corner in Delour 1

Thanks in advance!!!

What did you use to clean the regulators?

Car is looking

Yay I have been missing this car. Nice to see more work - boy does it look good.

Thanks guy's!!!

over night soak in Evapo-Rust, this stuff works great and is non toxic and bio degradable. I get it at Pepboy's

andy its great to see you posting your project again. i'm looking for an exact sport muffler like your dansk...did you source it at patrick or pelican?

Pelican, Give Glenn a call at ext. 240, IMO he is the best 914 resource there and owns 914's

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

thank you Andy!

What kind (brand) of spray glue are you using for installing your carpet and interior trim?

3M high temp spray adhesive.

I talked to Bob about re producing these for the Bugs and Van's. You want I'm guessing?

Anyone use a Mocal unit with their front cooler, looking for mounting ideas in the engine compartment. Show me our pics

Thanks

No lol, for my 72 teener, sent you a p/m as well as a search party post when you
fell off the planet. Was worried sick ya know P.S. YOUR CAR LOOKS AWESOME !!!!

Looking good, Andy! Have you been sitting in it making vroom, vroom noises yet?

Windshield and rear glass installed today. is it me or do the lines off the car stand out more with a windshield or I've just been staring at it without one for so long

You going to drive it to Route 66 . You have 2 & 1/2 months to finish

Oh man... That's hot!

They stand out more.
Beautiful work and car. Keep it up.

There's a gentleman up the road from our house who owns his own business. He has a small entrance/lobby for his business that honestly was never used in previous years.

The lobby has 2 glass French entrance doors that are smoke tinted with half windows on either side.

A number of years ago he decided to start "showcasing" his hobbies, if not his true loves. 2 different Dodge Vipers (1 red, 1 yellow), A mid-90's corvette, a few different Quad's and some motorcycles of different breeds. The stable is phenomenal after the sun goes down, especially since his location is off of a main road and he's not looking for a high traffic following.

This car is going to scream for that same respect and occasional exposure.

Don't let her languish in a dark/dingy garage, even if you just bring her out occasionally - make sure she sees the bright light when you do.

She's gorgeous.

Dave

Andy,

Are you planning on installing the t-stat in the engine bay or front trunk?
I like the lower firewall/engine bay mounting area.
Here's a few links that I've looked at for my car :
