Sorry build fans.

Been busy getting employed again.

P.S. Big thanks to that other Gamecock - Mr. Bill.

...although he's spending waaay too much time on dem little Brit boards lately

Ruby - I can't remember the paint code, but it's a 2013 Toyo color. Scotty has some good color in stock as well if I ever get back to him on next steps.

Kinda busy learning the new job and hiring field engineers who like working 175+ days on the road per year -

Andy, ban me if that shameless plug isn't allowed. Honestly I can't remember if recruiting other members is allowed

Later Taters from Mile High Country for a few more months...

P.S. who the hell lives near Centennial and wants to blow my hair back in their winterized Teener while I'm out here - The Staybridge is driving me MORE nuts

It lives!

...and, I'm still better looking, you Dweeb

Geez, frikkin "Brake Gnomes" crossing my garage floor.

Worse than a bunch of crack hooked Oompah Loompahs

Best I recall it is about 7/8".
Sorry it took so long to reply, I took my time because I new Dave would need a bump.

I've got something I want to show you Dave. PM sent.

Dave...what's the latest?

He's waiting on me to get caught up

You nuts

I'm growing a beard Bill, how's your little British stable?

Pictures for us of your new barn maybe

Got some time in on Dave car. Got some primer on the flares and started the body work. Started removing the engine shelf and just like every other 914, there was something funky going on in the hell hole

I love all of these build threads! Good to see how people solve problems.

Bond fix everything (?).

No, it wasn't that easy.

Scott said it looked similar to some extraterrestrial tar colored blob.

He doesn't smile when he works on Mr. Miagi anymore

Good News though!

He's posting new images of the carnage this weekend

Scott will get it fixed!

all but one flare in high build primer now. I wasn't happy with the fit up on it and reworked it so it's a day behind the rest. Should have it done monday. then the hell hole fix is up

On post #53,will the pipes you've welded in to reinforce the suspension ears be well clear of the engine? I've got some Tangerine Racing Heim Rods to do the same job and was wondering if there might be a conflict...

they should, they are Tangerines kit too, just not the heim steup.

That looks like it'd be easy to make.

Great work on the flares. They look awesome.

All body panels have now been blocked down to remove the lacquer based primer that was on it, and coated with epoxy then a couple coats of high build primer followed by a guide coat. Next step will be to finish out the engine bay, and start fabbing and running the coolant system

Stellar frigen work Scotty.

As Slim Pickens would say...

WAHOO!

Oh yeah your boxes o' parts showed up wednesday

What ever happened with this Suby conversion?

#1 - Unemployment...

#2 - Still waiting for Ian to ship me or Scotty my previously "paid for" high-end axles and other parts...

Well Rat Shit! That sucks. Hopefully there is a solution on the horizon. It's odd that Ian wouldn't refund if he couldn't ship. He makes good product but has never been able to keep up with demand. In fact, that is what prompted me to build my own stuff. Here's to your future completion and looking forward to seeing your build back up here soon.

Parts arrived in 2 shipments from Ian 1 week ago.

Received:

From Ian - 2 custom half-shafts and the additional support for the custom Suby cradle I received 2 or more years ago (4 and 6 cylinder support).

Drop shipped from Ian's Suby connection - stub outs that support the earlier Suby 5-speed tranny (2005 and earlier?) and some c-clips, etc...

NOW - Scott has been waiting for a while on these, so I need to ship them all back out to Kahiko Customs this week some time...

yeehaw.

Back in the Saddle.

Isn't today your birthday?

I'm Selling the Car & Bits...

sorry to hear that, have you listed it in the classifieds yet?

Nope.

I can't even finish the image sets & I already have folks interested.

I should have a REAL posting by late tonight.

Pelican & TheSamba will have to be a far 2nd behind you guys.

FYI => Dave D. - Please don't share on Pelican until I actually fill out the Classified Post:-))

What's up with the Grand wagoneer?

built by JEEP...owned by my dad
