the 5 lug assems seem to be missing. what's the story?

Cool Mike

It's got to do your heart good to have Ferg oogling your paint. That must be one fine looking job.

Looking back through this thread, there sure are a lot of people who've come and gone. It's kind of sad but, a fine looking red car makes up for it. Get her done

Dave

You can't very well refinish the suspension with it bolted to the tub now can ya...


I had similar thoughts. I considered starting a new thread. But history is what it is...

It's actually Tangerine.

Ginter LOVES THOSE WHEELS!

btw why are't you oogling at the paint?

Can't wait to see it in the flesh, looks purty in the pics.

With shipping and 20% off on an order over $400 at Performance Products, I just spent $910.03 on...

RUBBER!




And I already have inner door seals, targa seal, engine seals, and a front rear trunk seal.

I got confirmation this morning that all of the seals I ordered were in stock and have shipped.

Thanks to Kevin and Danny the front and rear suspension is ready for bead blasting and powder coating. We managed to strip the front and rear control arms of bearings and bushings in 90 minutes yesterday at Kevin's I'll post some pics later after today's 914 mountain run.

Here it is...

Gonna take a while to get this junk cleaned up.

Went for a drive with friends Sunday.

Link to the Colorado Sunday Drive thread.

The new seals came in yesterday. All in great condition and received promptly and professionally. Installed the rear trunk seal yesterday. Looks good...

What NO PICTURES!?

Hi Mike ,
i just picked up a 914-6 roller and will be fun to put together.
this is my fouth 914-6 from ground up so is you need any help .
email me .

good luck

Joe.

Pretty nice weather today so I took the afternoon off. I could use a break.

I believe this is one of the oldest restoration threads on 914world. Might be time to resuscitate it. Lots of memories in this thread. Good times... Has it really been 8 years since I took this thing apart? If I ever get the new garage organized I will finally have some room to start on this project. Something other than collecting parts that is.

last weekend I was thinking about your car
I think we bought tangerine's on the same weekend back when...
definitely time to see this thread again!

brant

Aaagh, my eyes! There is dust on it!

Ferg

Come over and clean it Ferg! It has a couple of chips too...

I dare you to bolt something on it... tonight.

at least get sumthin' done before you visit,heh Cuz?

Double Dare!

Yeah, that won't work. Shar and I went across town for dinner tonight. Picked up some used CD's from Twist & Shout while I was down there.

I did fix the tach on the zambeziteen though. Now I can drive it the rest of the week when it's 60 out and have some idea how fast I'm going (speedo cable is shot).

...was worth a try.

I was wondering what ever happened to this build, so I went looking.

I've got to say Gint.




Send it to me. You can drive it home in six months.

Appreciate that Joe, but the I won't be sending a car off to either coast again any time soon.

Keeping your project in a 18x20 box loaded with every other piece of junk you own while raising three kids can really put a damper on your 914 project progress. Those in a similar situation will no doubt understand. I have room now, but doesn't it figure that now I have a 50+ hour a week job. But without a doubt, it'll get some action this summer for sure.

That's fine. I understand.......but.....

It's been SIX YEARS since it came home from paint.

Porsche built every 914 ever made in the same time frame.

They had more room, more time, more resources, and more money.

Cr@p - you just made me feel reaaaalllly old Joe! I remember clearly when that car came home in the ark! Has it really been that long? Ugh.

Looking forward to seeing the new digs this week Gint

I hate to do it but im bringing back an old thread. I love reading through this build. Any progress?

I'm still collecting parts. We need a part hoarder smiley.

I can totally relate to collecting parts. Just bought a very clean, complete stock rear sway bar this morning with all the hardware.

Pretty please? Just 30 minutes a week?

Holy crap, how did I miss this thread

Bad ass!!!

Make some time for it! Send the kids off to Grandma's for a month along with the wife and work on the car with friends, drink lots of beer, BBQ some ribs and make some progress.

I appreciate the thought. As soon as you start doing my work Geoff I'll start on that program. I was at the office from 7 am to 9 pm yesterday (Saturday).

Was this thread started somewhere back eons ago?? Stone Age?? LOL

I do remember this car and the thread including the great adventure driving through a snow storm. Snow storm, hell, it was a down right blizzard!!!!

I totally enjoyed every event Mike has gone through concerning this car and I just know someday in the future it will be completed. It caused me to start a replica 914-Sixer project which is now on the road, not completed, but running and licensed. I do know how everything seems to take precident over car projects.

Congratulatons on the project thus far and please post to it whenever so we can be informed.

Great Job thus far!

Steve Hurt

I forgot about this thread.

Been too long since an update...


Raises a couple of questions...

Is the welding In of late style seat belt recesses safe? Hate to find out when really necessary and found out that I

Confession. I've got a project that is way less bad, and I'm nowhere near as complete as this one, after 4 years of procrastination, I'm a year away from the body shop...

Good summer of and what? No grind smilies?


Feel like I'm flogging a thought I was going to be ready in 2006...

keep up the progress!

Suspension will be done soon.

I was affraid to ask and now that you are I'll just have to say it.
Holly Shit Mike is working on 2 cars.

Touche'

Resurrected from the depths of the build threads. Just read the whole thing! nice project Mike.

Only a few days shy of it's 10 year anniversary! That has to be close to a record for a documented build thread. I think 2013 should be the year Mike.

what would you say the technical term is for the "dipping and priming".. where did you have it done?

id like to see if theres someone who can do that in my area. (kansas)

OMG WTF!

Going up in value every year. Nice!

he bought a 911

I loved this thread in 2005...and I still love it now. Wish the car was done though...

Just re-read this. Nice car there Mr. Summer build party?

I was thinking about that the other day. If you had a clean tub, and absolutely every part needed, how long do you think it'd take 5-6 914 guys to get the car on the road? Could it be done in a weekend? Day? Afternoon?

That's be a blast though.

It's been done - http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...&hl=tribute

Hi Mike,
I was wondering about your 914-6 project. We all wish we had a 914-6 in our garage. Don't rush the project.
Tom

Just bring it back... we'll finish it for ya!
