Home from the paint shop.
Shiny re-plated parts.
Wiring harness going in.
Suspension.
Brakes.
Lights.
Bumpers.
Interior done.
Engine build start (second version).
And here we are.
Bob, I gotta tell you it has been a great time following your build. I appreciate all the sharing that you have done along the way. It looks like you will be driving that beautiful piece of car art fairly soon. 
Yeah, this car is "kind of" nice.
Bob, the interior looks like a Limo.
I'm ready for a ride when you're finished. Ha
Beauty....man.

Thanks, guys.
Doug, you are guaranteed a ride--just bring the family to Colorado!

While at my son's house, I asked him to try his 3D printer on something.
First attempt.
What are (will be) the limits for 3D printing, kinda scary. Great restoration
Man, you must be a giant.

They can already do things printed that could not be done before.
Printed pistons
2nd (or maybe 3rd) attempt, with sanding to remove the bottom layer.
Getting ready to install the rest of the engine gear. Here is the blower housing, with the raw magnesium looking pretty good after blasting.
Two-part matte spray.
The magnesium got a little darker after painting.
I was hoping to get a lot done on my 914 today, but got deflected when my mountain bike lost the rear brake. That lead to my least favorite bike job: bleeding brakes. The system and method makes bleeding 914 brakes look easy.
After that, I was almost out of time, but did put the blower flap thing together.
Test fit.

I miss my Specialized
Working on my mini badges.
Primer for plastic. The 3D printed media claims to be like ABS.
And then satin black (still wet here).
Blower fan, moderately clean. But should come apart, right?
Got to use my triple-square bits again.
Now ready for better cleaning.
Last box of powder-coated parts, with all the engine sheet metal.
Right side duct, and new rubber gasket for the oil cooler top.
In place.
Time for the new dipstick tube (font).
