Hurry up Rob the gallery can't wait much longer. Pics , Photo's

Tom

So, the suspense is killing you guys huh? How do you think I feel!

Well, she's home... Kinda cute isn't she?

Big thanks to McMark and Original Customs. I'm told I would have had to pay for an additional 8 hours of labor in most cases. He welds G O O O D!

How about a couple more?

One more before I take her off the trailer and begin putting her back together...

Looks great ..other than your front fenders are on backwards, No worries Brumos did too.

Mark!!!!

Looks like the angle to me.

I know...

Hey Rob, paint job looks good, sorry to hear about your mother in-law and will miss your smiling face at WCR.John

Thanks John...

Looks awesome Rob! Very nice. Take your time putting it back together.

Silver is a great color on these cars. Looks exceptional and looking forward to seeing the re-assembly.

For Jeff...

Oh Damn!!! Mark!

Finally a picture of your car without a trash can in the background.


BTW, Looks great!

It's garbage day Mike... Nicho put it out by the curb!

Here, let me fix that upside down pic...

H E Y ! ! !

Made big progress putting her back together today. Rear bumper and valence on, outside mirrors on, rubber scraper for side windows on, triangle windows on, front and back lights on.

All that's left is wiring for the tails and front turns... Why couldn't Porsche use plugs like everyone else??? My FSM wiring diagram is almost unreadable too!

Bowlsby has a great tail light wiring diagram on his site.

Thanks Mike!

Just remembered, I have to redo the vinyl and put the trim back on...

Well, except for the sail fin vinyl which is on order from 914Rubber.Com, she is all put back together. Maybe I'm biased but I think she looks pretty darn good...

So just so I can start a new tradition, I took a bunch of upside down pictures of her!

Mark!

Then, just to make Jake proud, I took her for a drive around the block...

And broke a CV Joint...

What size and make of wheels are those?
And
What is the other sbox in the garage?

The rears are 16X8.5, the fronts are 16X7. They are RSR finish custom made by Weidman Wheels.

Not sure what an sbox is, but there is a 240Z? If you are referring to the engine on the floor, it is a 280ZX turbo block that I'm building into a normally aspirated 2.8 triple ITB Megasquirt motor for the Z...

Where's the carnage shot?

Oh, and we should look at motorcycle throttle bodies for the Z. Just got some for a 911 motor and I'm pretty impressed.

Nothing showing. Just noise.

I think I'm just going to trailer it down to you with a list of things I need done while I'm in the Philippines...

Motorcycle TB?

Check this thread for pics.

So, true ITB's for the Z? (intrigued)

Will they bolt up to the manifolds I have though?

These boots are pretty common and from what I've seen, they bolt right on Weber manifolds...

So, I have to assume that appropriate sized injectors that will work with Megasquirt will fit then...

For those who are lost right now, Mark and I have hijacked my own thread to talk about this car:

The injectors are pretty universal, so various flow rates are available.

I think you need a 2.8 Z engine build thread...

Ok, it's all nice and stuff, but you *really* need to get some spacers for those front wheels.

Makes me cringe every time i see a car with flares and stock track width in the front.

You got what, 5" of room to go outward?

Rob i assume the Z has a weber manifold now?
If so then rb26 throttles will bolt straight on and you can just add injector bungs where you want. Cheap too
Love the new paint, COTM?
Edwin

I know Andy... I'm bringing the car to Original Customs (whether Mark has time or not) with a list of things to do while I am in the Philippines. I'll put that on the list.

It does have Weber Manifolds now. I will have to look into RB26 TB's...

Not sure it's ready for COTM but I am pretty picky...

So back to the subject of the thread...

Got a care package from 914Rubber.Com today. In it was the sail fin vinyl I ordered but I got a few other little tidbits since I was going to make Mark's warehouse fairy load a box. Although my rear trunk seals were very good factory seals albeit nearly 40 years old, I decided to give Mark's seals a try. After pressing them in place and trimming the excess with an aviation shear, this is the result.

The trunk sounds like it is sealed better if that makes sense. A more positive thunk???

So, the moral of the story is friends don't let friends drive around with loose seals! Call Mark!!

I should have said I have a set of those throttle bodies if you want pics or measurements.
I used them on my 1.8 type 4 but at 45mm they were a touch too big.
Hope this helps

Good morning Edwin... How does tomorrow look? International Date Line time traveler!

Those throttle bodies are not very plentiful here, I'll take them off your hands if you can part with them reasonably...

Damn that car looks good.

Thanks Woody! Say hi to my Mom for me!

So before leaving for the Philippines, I dropped off the car for a little Original Customs 'love.' As you may recall from a previous episode, I got her home from paint, put her back together, backed out of the driveway, snapped something off...

Maybe Mark will put up some carnage shots. Killed the driver side inner CV. I knew that was coming. Glad it was the CV and not the tranny.

I'm also having him install a few more 'GT' elements. Anyone want to see the GT Headlight kit be installed? How about a period correct battery shut off installed with a relay?

Pow!

Cage go boom...

What size CV was that? 914 or 911?

Thanks
