Haha thanks. I get back Monday, so I'll probably be on it again Tuesday

What is your brake set up? Boxster?

Yessir. Standard boxer

OK, I have been slacking on updates. But work has been happening for sure.I got the battery cables all secured and terminated at the battery. Brake lines are made. Rear brakes and hubs are now installed (PITA).

The FML914 did strike again, however...the 911CVs I got were supposed to have everything needed to build my custom axles...well, they were missing the top plates that the boots secure to...guess what? they are NLA and nobody has a set.. So I had to buy a complete set of axles. Hooray..I have some nice, clean 108mm CVs if someone needs them...

The MSD is all installed, new wires are made and installed, distributor is indexed, she is ready to fire. Headers are out to get lengthened. I also got the cowl and washer holes filled.

Got the drivers side floor rust repaired and new seat pedestals and hinges welded in. Doing the passenger side pedestals today as well as the under-car seat rail reinforcements.

Modified the cluster to make the speedhut gauges work. Need to send it off for powdercoat along with some other small stuff this week.

Phew..more to come as things go together this week.

There's a busy guy .....

Great work....Yes the rear swing arm bearing/brake assembly is a big PITA.

I would like to hear about what adapter kit you used for the 4 wheel boxster brake set-up.

Rich Johnson (a914guy) sells a package. I opted to go that way rather than reinventing the wheel. He does a killer job. Everything came perfect and powdercoated. Great tech support too.

those brakes.....

Well since you got that 914 all fuch'd up..go the extra mile..MonoWiper..

where on he internet do you get that kit?

I have done two...modified stock wiper assembly..arm is two cut and welded..all 914
If I did another , I would use a marine wiper motor adjustable sweep and no work..
Its Fun having it straight up for speed...

What do you plan to do for an ebrake?

Nice

Porsche 914 with 215 buick and MSD Atomic fuel inj: https://youtu.be/JaSQza537a8

It's alive! Fired on the first keystroke. Set the timing then unlocked and let the MSD Atomic take over. I used some magna flow mufflers I had sitting here. Sounds mean

Congrats Erik. Great job. That thing is really shaping up. Magnaflows are awesome. I plan to use one big one on my EG33 phase 2 setup width wise 2 in 2 out.

Way to go

Time to add a video with sound

Has sound for me?

Dang....that sounds sweet!

Great job!

Chris, I was originally going to go transverse also but with my trans there's really not enough room out back to do it. Do you have enough room back there because I'd really like to see it- I think it's the cool setup! My overall system is gonna be pretty wild when it's done tho. Now I just gotta get back on my feet... and I'm working on it!

I haven't started that project yet, still working on Phase 1. I do know of a nice setup I'd like to do mine similar to (smaller pipes for me).

You have to remove the heat shield at the back of the car if yours is still in place, and then it's a tight fit turned sideways. I've also seen some where the muffler hangs down just a bit below the valance but painted black it would be almost invisible.

Sounds great bud! Get to drive it yet?

Minor issue with the rear hubs. Should be on the ground again sometime next week. Need to assemble the dash, wire gauges and prep for the wrap. It gets wrapped on the 22nd.

Got my decklid from QRS. Fits pretty well out of the box

And Tony finished my double stitched dash pad

Dash looks great!

Upside down but cool..damn posting from the phone!

Engine sounds great. Dash looks good too. You are making terrific progress.

What you have accomplished in a few weeks is seriously impressive. I can't wait to see it rolling again.

Did this among other stuff today. Previous repair, prob 20 years ago, had the car folded the wrong way. I thought I could live with it but that 5/8" gap at the top of the drivers door was killing me. So we cut the car in half..it's awesome now!

Eric is getting jiggy with the

Would the Shelby "Mini Europa" rims fit stock 914 hubs and where on earth would one find some if they did?

They were on the car with the 4 bolt setup.

You're my "Great American of the week" sir!

The progress on this car is amazing....I think I will be visiting you again in the near future for a ride!

Anytime!

Got a lot done so far this week. My body guy, Brian is coming over tomorrow to smooth everything out. I made a new dash top piece on the same material as the dash top and bottom and installed that with new foam. Found what appears to be an original signature on the dash.
Had to make extensions for the front fenders as they were too short..

So nice!

Mud work and other exciting stuff going down today!

Man, things are happening quickly! Brian was by on Friday and we basically trimmed all the fiberglass panels and gapped the car, molded the bottoms of the extended fenders to fit the rockers, bodyworked the whole car and knocked it down to 220 grit. I'm doing some small cleanup work and then 320 so its nice and smooth for the wrap.

Got the gauges installed and verified they work. They look awesome in the car! This week I have Bret helping again, so we can get the dash buttoned up and the bottom pad on. Well do the carpet and thresholds, figure out a mounting solution for the rockers and fenders and get the rear hubs and brakes installed (assuming I get the darned hubs) It gets wrapped next tuesday and we should be test driving by wednesday!

Down and dirty

Got a bunch done this week. Unfortunately fedex decided that my hubs needed to get delayed so it still isn't driving. But we got the led headlights and led fogs installed and working. Lowered the front. Got all the trim pieces painted flat black. Painted the thresholds with black bedliner. Replaced the hazard switch. Fixed the wiring for the headlights and fogs. Etc. I'm heading out for the weekend so Tuesday well be installing hubs and bleeding brakes while the car is getting wrapped.

OOOOOOOOOOOh that lighting ...like that white shift knob too.

Your progress makes us look bad!!

Thanks guys. The light seems pretty impressive I can't wait to see it at night. The white knob is probably temporary but it does have the Ford Toploader pattern on it which matches this modified trans

It's like fast forward!

I am talking with Stepan at gts seats. Debating on the Lemans or the Watkins Glen seats. He sent me a bitchin pic of a matching plaid and a copper colored houndstooth for the seat centers. Any opinions on one seat or the other?

I am leaning toward the lower left plaid or that copper houndstooth. Thoughts? The seats are close to these ST seats but they have an integrated headrest

All way too cool for school.... ......... reminds me of 928 "Pasha"
