Did a little cleaning

What'd you use to clean those up? Looks great!

Dawn dish detergent and soft brush, then lube

Where's the rest of the car?

some in pa, some in va. hope to be reunited some day.

Your a patient man!

More cleaning.

When the car is reassembled, I want it to look AND smell new.

He know what he is doing. That is his retirement car.
He is on schedule

Need to get this done before I buy any more red cars.

Crap... Bought another red car

Inspired by a bottle of beer?

Awesome brace. I like it

That's a good looking suspension console. Trade you for mine

Yeah I was pretty shocked it was that solid given the state of it's surroundings. THe suspension ear looks like it has already been replaced. I'll know better once I get it cleaned up

Nice. All of Mark's rust apparently relocated to my car while they were sitting next to each other.

So there used to be a bunch of alignment spacers on the passenger side -see post 218. Do you think this was due to damaged chassis or just poor alignment when the replacement outer suspension console was welded on?

So back in the '80's, this car was my daily driver. In the summer, I used to tie some red plaid beach towels around the seats to keep the vinyl from burning my skin. So when Steve put some 914rubber.com seat covers up for sale, I had to have them. I have a couple core sets of seats that need the full recover. Will pick up new bolster vinyl and foam from mikey and probably some seat heaters. I'll use the old bases to trace onto new pressboard. Can't wait.

Is this one getting a 6 Mark?

See post 332

Going for broke with new brakes from pmb

Those look like they were reversed engineered from an alien race car!

Wow what are they from?

Very snazzy, nice!

917

Amazing work in the reconconstruction zone, but the Purple ebay air filter?

Mark- That is a seriously beautiful caliper.

Come on guys, I'm just kidding, the car is not getting 917 calipers. But maybe tha mattylite car needs a set with all the HP that car will have.

Good one Mark.

Oh..... I thought you had heard my birthday was approaching.....

Great. My thread gets the once over by Marty, one of the guy's who has really BTDT with everything Porsche and his take away on my car is the purple air filter.

Mark, the guys in the shop want to send you a real high flow msds filter, maybe one like this with the red end cap.
They told me that they will go on a hunger strike on Monday if you don't get rid of purple Haze.

I sure don't want your guys to miss a meal due to my issues. Save some room in the box when I order my set of ceramic coated MSDS headers

Chasing the rust again New batch of panels ordered from RD should be in next week. I have a new toy to play with

Wow - Very nice.

I have an original 914-6 oil tank but the paint was a bit beat up. So after stripping the paint, there are spots of corrosion through the copper plating. So now do I;
Treat the corrosion and powdercoat
Treat the corrosion and epoxy paint
Remove copper and start from scratch - probably $$$

sandblast and epoxy paint. It will be rust free and have much better protection than original. Best bet is to send it to Pacific oil cooler. They'll sonic clean, pressure test, repair i f necessary and paint,roughly 300.00 depending on repairs

What was the purpose of the original copper plating? I am in the same boat with mine and trying to figure out what to do with it.

Needed a brain. Got one along with a 3rd ? harness. Harness will be for sale.

Huh....my wife tells me all the time I need a brain.

Yummy

Nice triple gauge

I'm hoping you will build it for me.

an hour here....an hour there....and things start to happen again

Yea!

The metal work is looking awesome.

Beautiful work as always.

Spoke - this build gets your led's

Lookin' good

MY 5/72 1.7 has the late dash with side vents, no vent on the top center of the dash.

Had a batch of parts powder coated. Threw this in.
