So am I right in assuming this WAS a tailshift at some point?

Yes.
Plus, the tub has the tailshift pivot mount on the rear firewall ...



Did you grind the fender yet?

I am gonna install a real tail cone on that tranz. Man, that thing needs some love.


Keep in mind that I would like to get a rennshift and all the extra parts they make to go to the trans. Hopefully that's possible. I can bring it to Hershey or have it shipped to you. And I want to meet you in person and beg forgiveness for this mess.

He did and it has the vin of a real GT!

Ya, it was a tail. The cone is one giveaway, but the short studs for the shift console are another. The tails did not need the long studs to hold the plug in there.

I can do a Wevo. No prob. Saves me a tail cone wink.gif Do I need to save some tail shift rods to install the wevo? I am pretty sure I do. Lucky you posted now as I was about to take some to the recycler on Fri wink.gif I'll hold onto them for you.

It's will be a rennshift from J-west, not Wevo. I don't think they replace the tailcone, just the linkage and bushings from the shifter to the trans. (now I'm pretending to know what I'm talking about) http://www.jwesteng.com/porsche/914/

Oh, in that case, I have nothing special that I have to do unless you are getting the fancy kit that bolts to the console on the case. If it is just the cockpit shifter, then it hooks up stock.

I want the fancy kit. What kind of beer do you like?
Dr Evil
If the fancy kit requires any machining, I am not gonna be able to do it, but can have a shop do it locally. Minor machining is not an issue.

As for beer, free is best, after that I am open to anything that is not too hoppy. smile.gif

Can you operate a drill?

PS: There's a installation thread on here where i documented my install ...
mepstein
I looked at a thread from Andys and I think it's just drilling 2 holes where the linkage enters the cone, assembling linkage, welding the rod shorter and installing new bushings. I guess it's more a job for Scott once you get the trans back to shape. I don't think the kit goes into the trans, just upgrades all the linkage up to the point it enters the trans.
Dr Evil
Ya, I can do the drilling. The welding will be Scotty. smile.gif

Yes it is his car and I understand he's very popular Jon. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, dickheads - they all adore him. They think he's a righteous dude.
The car today looks slightly different than it did the the previous photo. It was restored a few years ago to look like it did back in the 70's when owned by Erich Strenger.

Thanks for the post . High jack away or start your own thread. We all want to see more of this car!

barf.gif There were 2 spots on the car that really concerned me form the start. Both were bubbling under the paint. My concern was the bubblings were in straight lines, like a patch panel had been put in and the edges were rusting. Ended up just being very light rust most likely where water or sweat ran down the side while it was in bare metal before. Both rear quarters have been completely stripped. Only had one paint job, but I did find a couple of spots that will neeed some attention. Both door jambs have had some less than stellar repairs done, but I will work with what is there. You will also notice, the old bondo has almost NO adhesion in those spots as is evident by my putty knife blink.gif

No turning back now biggrin.gif Couldn't quite get a straight overhead shot sad.gif But both rears are on and have a first coat of Everglass. Will shape those out tomorrow and start on the fronts smash.gif welder.gif

Cool!

Would you or one of the crew that's stopping by your place before Hershey bring up the 2.0 Fuchs. I want to sell them at Hershey.

Proof that they are being made and shipped. I think they are going out in (roughly) the order the money was received.

I'm still waiting on GT rockers but Scott makes the rockers fit the flares, so there is no need to wait on flare install. From the looks of the previous body work, Scott has his work cut out for him.

Scotty can install a complete set of flares in like 52 minutes.

There might be witchcraft involved blink.gif

You are too good man. Kudos.

Wow, that's looking good!

My flares are sitting in the baby's room...due in a month. Hopefully I can get someone to weld mine on in the next few weeks!

Wait a minute, you mean Scott is going to charge me for all this work??? I thought he just...Oh crap, nevermind, it was just a dream.

unsure.gif Apologies for the Hijack but can anybody who is a dab hand at PS do a Porsche Speed yellow version of the red car with the black stripes, might just be what I am after.

As for the flares going on I wish my resto was at that point but sadly no....
