So I bought another 914 ( I think this makes #25) to make into a Track/Auto-X car.

The Transport company told me today that the car will be picked up on 9-11 and delivered on 9-14. How Cool is that? I guess it was destiny that I will be converting this car to a -6.

Pictures on Tuesday, our Holiday

It's destiny calling......maybe some of the donor parts will arrive on 9-14 too.....

T.C.
It's time for an intervention, you have been mainlining Porsche parts to long. That shit will kill you.

Badm.

Your killing me ..another one:) Enjoy in good health!

I've recieved only one 914 on 9-14 before, was pretty cool!

Take lots of pics!

...Eat drink & be merry(don't forget mary)

Congrats .

How come when I lived in Tampa I couldn't find any 914's??? And I looked!!

I think therapy should be considered!!
don't know how you pull it off!!

but my wish list for
would be a couple of teeners (big bore sixes)
and well maybe a couple of early 911s
so if you find a therapist, call me
cause i need help too

oh yeah i need a split window panel
and to finish my 59 single cab..too

Cause they were all at my house

The Carr® is on the way. The driver told me it would be here 1st thing tomorrow morning, then between 12-2pm, so I expect it around Dinner Time ( or Happy Hour )

T.C.

Beat me to it!

I'm an equal opportunity buyer - I've gotten cars from New Jersey, New York , Washington, California, Alabama, Georgia, Sweden, Germany, Etc

And... options on many more.

It's here - a day late ( no 9-14 ), Thanks a lot to Wayne 1234 for a great deal. Wayne put a lot of work into this car ( see his " my solid car ain't so solid" thread)

I will be turning this car into a track car - I was turned on to it because it is now so solid. Might be a tad heavy, but I'm confident in my driving abilities.

I will be calling this " RumbleBee" because of it's Yellow/Black theme plus anyone that knows me, nows I put Mega-Phones on my car for a mid-70's ROAR

Coming on the trailer this morning

This motor does not drop a leak, runs great- It is in the classifieds, someone is going to get a great Deal

It Does - Wayne converted the fog-lights to Parking Light/ Turn-Signal - Very Cool

Very cool. What motor are you going to put in it? What else is on the upgrade list?

I've done Interior work in the past, So I tore into it today. Took the seats out (Fairly Good Condition - Will do Houndstooth Inserts as I have a bunch of Material), Put 2 Layers of RamMat, 1 layer of 1/4 inch foam, a layer of Dark Black Perlon. I then reattached the center section of the back-pad with Velcro. For some reason the center section sitting in the Sun created it's own Ghost-Flames - Weird

Some hints of the "RumbleBee ®" future

The Beck Body Kit that I'm getting back. There are only 3 Kits that I know that were ever Made. Two of which went to the Beck kids Randy & Dave. - I owned the Light Blue car a few years ago, sold it to lack of room and am getting the BodyKit from Grasshopper in a couple of weeks

Also had some Great Comedy today. Steve (smg914 - King of the 471s) stopped by with the GT3RS. He Stalled & Killed it out front. The 914 fired up every time - Thank you very much.

Steve, your Welcome for me helping get that POS on it's way

I have a NOS kit.

That makes 4. It will be in Demand after this build. Tough to ship - being only two piece - very easy to install though.

My - To Do List for the day

Repair shifter - it has an old school short shift that the epoxy broke loose - Check

Mount Black Bumpers w/ best bumper tops I had, also RennenMetal front aux Fog mounts - Check

This actually took me longer than expected - there was only one dog-bone used on the previous bumpers and it took me an hour to locate my bag o 20 dog-bones & bolts

Go to DMV, Title & Register the car - Had to go twice, the real cute girl already cutomers, so I had to do with the Pikers

Assorted other stuff.

Mounted 1 Mirror
Mounted the P/S Seat Belt on the D/S temp as the D/S Belt mech spring was shot
Mounted the Rear Center reflector - I hate these things, but I didn't want to weld up the holes. I drimel'd a hole in the relector & remounted a lock mechanism, getting rid of the electro-buzzer

Got to go pick up the 2.8 Twin-Plug RSR motor tomorrow

That body kit looks much better on the slope nose.

Dreaming of a Day real soon

I may drop the 2.0 4 Cylinder tomorrow. I have VW guys all over me, but nobody from the World

I agree and that is why it is the Perfect Storm for me to unite my Old Beck kit with this Slope-Nose

Now that definitely looks like a X1/9

Oh, great buy! I wanted to purchase that car but I bought two cars this year already.. I know you buy cars every chance you get but you seem to resell them. When I get stuff it never seems to leave. Do you have a set of those wheels that are on the Beck car?

I kept the Gotti's, Sold them with my 74 Carrera, bought them back & sold them again - the 10"s wouldn't fit anything I had. I have 2 sets of 9"s with Tires - BBS & Fuchs

On the Beck - the tire was petrified, no valve stem and the sidewalls were like a rock

She stayed in the (somewhat) Air-Conditioned Garage today

Got everything disconnected for the 4-cylinder engine drop ( probably Sunday or Monday as I'm off to Sebring tomorrow)

Also went to the Engine Builders to drop off Air Shroud, Ignition, & Oil-bypass pieces. The New Swiss Valves arrived while I was there. Should be done by the end of the weekend

TC what chain housings are you going to use ?

Well, when I started to make a Leather Dash for the GT, I had an extra cracked dash laying around so I made two.

This car has a dash-cap that I hope is not to much of a bitch to get off - I'm sure somebody can use it.
