Sooo,

I bought some of Erics rebuilt Calipers about a 6 months ago and they have been sittn in the box. Last week I got tired of the metal grinding sound from the front right wheel.

I decided to have Tony from Translog GT help me out, he said no problem....

and then....



Front rotors and rear rotors are shot, got new ones from Eric. Front ones obviously need berrings. new rubber lines all the way around. Leaky master

cracked resivour


I Love spending money on these cars


At least I will live longer




p.s. Eric @ PMB PERFORMANCE !!! ROCKS !!!!

You have Gigantic brakes????



Have fun and double check EVERYTHING. if it doesn't seem right or you are not sure ASK!

Dont you need new suspension bushings, ball joints and tie rods...while you are there?

And probably a new sway bar, which means you have to remove the fuel tank....

While you're at it, might as well replace the fuel lines and fuel pump too....


And since your're there, might as well check the front area for rust.... oh, there's rust? Time for a complete restoration. lol

Yup
Great time to paint, since the tank is out

Does it ever end

He should rebuild the engine as long as he has it up on jackstands...

yep, and replace the rear console since the engines out. dont forget new motor mounts and trans mounts before the install. may aswell put in new shifter bushings whil your at it

Since he's gonna do all that good time to do that six conversion. Sell your engine and and get that six and the rest of the conversion parts ....

You all laugh, but I bought a "Race ready" 914 for $3000.
( no really it had been racing just before I put it on the stands).

Now I have done almost everything mentioned above to it to get it "race ready again".

Just quit looking at stuff you could do and PUT IT BACK TOGETHER BEFORE YOU FORGET HOW!!!!

If I take just one more part off, it will be a bucket and need soda blasting and full body resto......

Stu

Now, buy a second (or third) teener to drive while you the car is on the rotisserie so you don't get too frustrated and throw in the towel.

DWD strikes again.......

You better paint it too.

Joe:

You are in for a real treat swapping out that master cylinder...ask me how I know. To top it off, I may have to do it again as I caught the plastic reservoir lines with a wire wheel last week and put holes in them.

Good luck with everything.
