mittelmotor, Looks like a nice setup. Where did you get the fill bottle and overflow bottle? I need something just like that for my V6.

Enjoy!

Thanks! Got the overflow bottle through JEGS:

The FLAPS around here all seem to carry this generic square bottle with a funky bracket. I like how clean this one is, and you can't beat the price!

Filler is through Renegade Hybrids. I got it as part of the kit, but I'm sure they'd sell one separately.

Good luck with the V-6.

Please can anybody input the URL for buy this bottle ??????

I need and would this for my conversion !!!

thank you guys !!!

today i came across a deal i could not refuse.my wife is gonna friggin trip!

Drove the Foothills Parkway, the Dragon, some unnamed roads twisting and turning til I got to the Cherohala Skyway where I set up at mile #2 to take pictures for US129photos.com Traffic was very light today. Started raining around 2:30 so headed back home. Just over 100 miles each way. Talk about a tiring trip

Taking it home in pieces seems like your best option! Out of sight, out of mind! Nice Score!

I picked up the gas tank for Betsy after having it boiled and cleaned to remove the gunk of the 20 yr old gas that was in it. Next order of business is to prep it and paint it.

Tony at Translogcalled me to come up and check on the Engine rebuild for my '74 1.8L. It's in the reassembly stage with new Camshaft(for carbs), Rings, Heads, Cam/Rod/Main Bearings, Bushings Machine worked Crankshaft & magnaflux, polished mains, rods & Cylinders honed to original spec, R & R pin bushings Coatings and clearence measurements, seals......so, bottoms done, case is together, top end goes on this week, engine to be back in car and broke in before the end of the month for pickup to being her home.

Also all new Transmission Shift Linkage/bushings and Tony found that the tanny was missing the Pilot Bushing causing the clutch disc to rub on the bottom of the case!!!!! Ticking time bomb. So new Clutch Release Bushing and Disc.

Once I finacial recover from this I'll start on replacement Gas Lines and rear Springs.
Down the road I'll convert from single carb to Dual Carbs. It's a hobbie, not a daily driver so I can take my time getting it perfect.

Also, will think about getting the heating system working again, Everything appears to be there except for the air hose to the exhaust heat deflectors, and electrically the fans are not functioning. I'll really don't need heat, I garage the car in the winter.

Finally drove my car yesterday. I've been having issues since WCR 2011, and after a head rebuild, it lives!!!!

Not the right bottle Mark.

Put the engine and tranny in:

Took Christine's battery back out of Betsy and reinstalled it in Christine. About to take Christine out driving once I get cleaned up.

Installed a new gas pedal courtesy of D-zug Products, and finally got around to making new door panels. Nice and simple RSR style plan door panels. All I need now is the trim clips to hold the perimeter to the door. I was planning on just getting miata trim clips with a push pin to allow it them to be removed easily. I'm very pleased with how they turned out, and for $30 worth of marine grade vinyl, particle board, and headliner foam its almost impossible to beat IMO.

is right... I posted the link right after you asked. Check the upper right corner for the post number. Now go to post 1566.

Brought my GT clone home from the farm

OOPS

Don't be too hard on the guy ... I even got a little cornfused on the two different bottles. I searched for the bottle # that middlemotor posted (see post 1603), which would do the trick, no?

Found one with part # P 901 628 720 22 listed for $16.34 on pcars.com, but they don't show a pic. CLICK HERE

Can this ridiculously low-low price be for real?

Ethan, what kind of particle board did you use? (Where'd ya git it?), and how thick is it?

My cardboard is shot and I have some 1/8" luaun? luan? (sp) plywood I thought about using

I replaced my the pedal cluster with my spare rebuilt . Installed new brake switch and drove it hard .

The particle board is 5/32 inch thick, and was from home depot Mark

Forget that, heres the one you want from summit racing- 6.95$ (Mittlemotors bottle)
Dorman overflow bottle

Installed my headers
Flushed the coolant passages with water
Installed the water pump, coil and bracket.
Ordered radiator, fans, mufflers, and a crapload $$$ of parts.

That's the one I posted the first time. With the cap, that's a good price.

I'd think any similar bottle would work for a spit bottle. I used an old vitamin bottle

Took my Nephew out to learn how to drive a standard. He is a senior in HS and been driving for a few months but always a slush box. Practiced for a while in the parking lot then out on the road to learn up/down shifting. He didn't do badly at all.

Installed my new air horn .

did you use a relay, cause that sounds like some serious draw on the stock wiring?

It comes with a relay and I used it. I used the ground wire from the steering . I also removed the original horn relay .

Nice Job!

sprayed primer in the front trunk, and the back side of the rear trunk lid and engine lid

Man, those look like they would push the car backwards

I didn't get those . Got the small ones at pep boys .

I was jus messin with ya.

But I think i could fit some horns in the wheel wells

They are mounted Behind the fog lights grills ( stock horns location.

Mine are mounted in the front trunk with the flutes up against the bumper shock holes (back-dated '75). The sound finds it's way out through the horn grills pretty good.

Much better than that old 'meep-meep' sound, eh Paul?

Oh yeah , and I need them driving in NYC .

Went to Penn 10-30W for the winter. Installed a standard rotor and got rid of the rev-limiting POS.

I believe he's trying to do a fairly accurate GT replica. Hell, a coffee can would "work". Just depends on what you're after...

E.

I just got back from taking my daughter to her first day of Junior High.

She just loves the car and we have been talking for 4 years about when I could driver her to school in it...so it was bitter sweet. I finally have a driving car, but I'm watching my daughter grow up too fast.

Overall she was so nervous to even be able to focus on anything else....but she was happy the SIX was her ride this AM.

Over the Hills and through the Woods...

My new screen background!

I talked about mine today.

Where was this picture taken? Doesn't look like Escambia County.

Olin

Haha... Its just he camera angle... No, this picture was taken on 64 heading from Hayesville NC to Franklin NC, through the Nantahala National Forest on the way to the autocross event at Peachstate PCA Rennfest 2012. It was around 7:30 in the morning and very misty and foggy with a sea of clouds as you looked off the overlooks into the valley and the sun was setting the mountain tops on fire as it came up. There where even a couple of rainbows. I think I might have ran over a Care Bear... But seriously one of the most beautiful drives I have ever been on.

I stopped in to the shop for a couple of hours this AM. Patted my '75 on the head

Washed, vacuumed and waxed The Grey Ghost, then covered it so it wouldn't get dirty (yesterday).

Trying to decide on tools and spare parts to carry for the journey to Beaver.

Drove it to work before dawn in a thunderstorm.

This took place in the last two days. Sorry for slacking.

1) Had a great guy named Lonnie cut the rectangular opening in the bumper (radiator inlet) and cut/extend/weld the shift rod. He asked for $85 for both jobs, but I gave him $100. His work was beautiful! If anyone needs a small (or big) welding job done in SoCal, Lonnie's shop is Action Welding in Anaheim. 714 632-8669. He might not be able to do it right away, but he'll fit you in.

2) Hooked up shift linkage. Took three tries to get the whole thing indexed properly. Shift action is sweet with new bushings & fresh grease.

3) Burped the cooling system for the 10th time. I think I'm almost done.

4) Cut engine cover mesh (went through about seven Dremel cut-off wheels) to fit in bumper opening. Bumperette backing plate makes a nice clamp to hold it in place. Finished the inside edges with clear silicone so the mesh doesn't move around. Almost left the "PORSCHE" letters on the mesh, but decided it would look too cheesy.

5) Drove it around for the first time!! Just a couple laps of the neighborhood. No exhaust system yet, so it sounded like the Pomona Winternationals. Off the muffler shop next week for the final touch. I'm pumped!

Freshened up the garage space by painting all the walls and ceiling built a full length of the garage overhead storage mapping out where I am going to move the car to once I get it out of storage. And ordered a bunch or parts from Rich Johnson and he has started giving me advice!!! Im diggin this forum!! Thanks yall

Installed and rewired the console voltage gauge. Works great.
Found the the spotwelds on the engine cover hinges had let go.
They'll have to be drilled out and rewelded.

Went to DMV and applied for SP plates.
