I know this is worthless without pics, but I had to go to Chicago all week and this happened late Sunday afternoon.

on 05.07.2012, after a month of disassembly the chassis left to have mounts fabricated so it could be put on a rotisserie. Last Sunday, 11.17.2013 the painted chassis finally touched the ground again.

I thought it was the lowers that were leaking. Mine do dry.gif
I guess it's pretty normal ... they even make plates that keep leaking lowers from dripping onto the exhaust headers.
'73-914kid
I luckily have turbo lowers... No leaks from there yet... The uppers were leaking horribly..

Oh, and I've been driving around in the rain all day/morning..the 6 makes the rain quite enjoyable... biggrin.gif

Me too. Right after I upgraded my 930 CV's. I picked up some 300M cages. Stronger than chrome moly. Thicker than stock. Barely fit in the CV.

Got the engine back, heat exchangers on, clutch and throttle, carbs.

Electrical was going well, until I ran into funky old wiring connection finally breaking. Sigh.

Spun the engine without plugs to see if it builds OP, but it did not. Gotta check wiring on that.

My eBay (used from Stefan) LeMans arrived, which meant I had to clean & paint the bracket, deal with some rusted tilt adjusters and a stripped slider bolt.

But now I can sit in the car and make vroom noises without my ass hurting, which is a huge improvement over the König...

Drove the 2.0 to ThePaintedMan's Place and then to the Paint Shop to get an Estimate

Came home, ripped out the Insulation Pad in the Engine Bay to get ready to weld the Engine Lid Hinge Support. Took the BackPad out to do some Customizing. Put Bolts in to replace the Wood Screws that held the Oil Catch Tank & CompuTune. Put on a Front Euro Plate

The Spyder - Finally got the Front Suspension on piratenanner.gif, Drank Beer beer3.gif

The White Race Car - Rolled it out of the Garage & then back in when I was done working. Drank Beer beer3.gif

Finally my clutch tube was welded and thank you so much to Sir Ed Arango who went to my place bringing his own mig welder with gas tank. He did a very good job fixing my tube.

Then in the afternoon he towed the 72 tub from my house to his house in Huntington Beach.

I must have had 1 Beer too many as I forgot to put the Underbody SwayBar on chair.gif , so, today I had to thake the Passenger side front suspension back off, put the SwayBar on, put the PS suspension back on.

For the 1st time in a couple of months, the Spyder is off of Jack Stands piratenanner.gif

I always told myself that I wouldn't just throw fuchs on becasue everyone else does, but I've got to say, I like the look of the black center 16's on the car.. and they were cheap with good tires.. Hard to beat that.

I think so too David, but the rear tires are bald on the minilites... These are"rain" tires...only because there's actually some tread on the rear tires... biggrin.gif

I'm going to have the minilites beadblasted then clear powdercoated.. Looking for a more raw aluminum look.
