har har har

all black.

orange/black bumpers

a narrow body version of this, and with cibie oscar 7" rally lights down in the bumper

An exciting time for you I bet !

I'm sure you are very popular with the neighbors. It's probably a good thing you did it an hour!

You are really on the way to a very nice car.

I love the green ( still time to reconsider)

zambezi was a great color. wish the PO didnt do a black respray.


neighbors love me indeed. they even come over and help sometimes

Good job Where you going for paint / bodywork? Did you get a good deal?
Would love to do the same, but ...


How long do you figure you'll be out of a car? If you feel the need to wrench, you can come over.

AA,

Great job!

Hope you cleaned up your car's "blood" left in the gutter after your surgery!

When do you get the finished product back?

i did....after that pic. kitty litter and degreaser

This weekend I'm building a Santa House for a x-mas party No source on the trailer - sorry. I got mine from Uhaul $50a per day no mileage. Do you have a tow vehicle? If it's not too far, I've got an Explorer with receiver.

steal my dad's nissan titan.

gotta make some calls on the trailer still.

one more thing....

After the paint job you can focus the camera.

You were a little late to get the trailer I use, someone else already called me the beginning of the week and asked if he could use it for a few days this next week. Otherwise you could have used it. Its the one I hauled mine on for the WCC and the one we cut up a few cars on. Good work on the car Aaron, looks like you will finally get it the way you want it.

No No No No...... Please do not do any of that in or around your driveway, ask me how I know

The car wash off of sixth (by the new Save-on/Wallgreen) doesn't have a security gaurd (or so I have been told).

ironically thats where i was headed. roll the car off the trailer

used to do mindnight carwashes after taking my dad's truck up skyline

You can do it in your driveway.

But FIRST, apply a thin layer of Tide laundry detergent to the concrete. Scrub a bit with a broom.

That'll stop any oil from further seeping. Also good for oil spills (mr. Exxon Valdez).

How high are you going on the CR? Will you cam allow 9.0/1 or higher?

This is gonna be one sweet ide when you'e finished. I think you're taking the coect appoach by just diveing in ane getting it done in one massive shot ather than dagging it out ove months and months.

I bought a furniture dolly fom Habor Freight to haul the engine around on. that was the best $16 I ever spent! ( although I like the sled idea. Very pimative actually. I bet it sounded nice too!

some choad is borrowing my dolly.

pallet is fine.


gonna work on the motor in the next month. juggle it around school, and nail it on winterbreak.

right now its about 8:1. i have no idea what the cam allows. its a big cam.....we will see. you are welcome to come down and join the madness jeff

dropped 2 sets of 1.7 rockers off with twystd1 to be machined for 911 adjusters.

then valvetrain geometry....

You should have said somthing while you were here, I have a spare dolly sitting here in the garage you could have taken it with you.

its all good friend. thanks again for the trailer

I like the black! I look forward to seeing it..hmm, maybe on winter break. I have a trip planned to go see grandparents, mom in-law and stuff. I might be able to salvage a couple of hours and do some 914 stuff. I will let you know as time gets closer.

Aaron
Nice work. I have a lift table I used to install my 6 and it worked great. I also have 2 moving dollys. Let me know. I am working in Brea all week. If you need it I can put it in my car.
Mark

thanks guys....

Way to go!!!

Your about 2 months ahead of me!

Like your color scheme...

Mine will be reverse.. (phoenix body, black trim/acc)

what a day. HUGE THANKS to Bill Grimstead (GRIMSTEAD) for stepping up and coming over. he is the TAR MASTER along with an excellent helper. Honored to call bill my friend.

So we (BILL) got all the tar paper off the floorboards with Bills heat gun and wicked scraper.
took out doorhandles, all cab seals, rear window etc. bill trocks the house!!!

bill then had to go...

my buddy matt (BMW matt) came up and helped me mask off the front trunk. its ready to rock!

then we went to the coin-op car wash and degreased the engine bay. they hate us there!

Bill the terminator!

the result....(gonna clan it up with brake cleaner)


tried stripping a decklid...


ready to rock!!


where do all the parts go?????
into the MOBIL PARTS STORAGE

If you had problems with the stripper, it's because you're supposed to put it on going in only one direction, and not to go over it once it's on the panel. I have no idea why, but that's what the directions say, and it works better their way.

decided it was too much work. kept the original lid thats on the car. straight and fits great..... just cracked paint

Looking very nice! that interior stripping job is a pain, but its worth it.

Can't wait to see the results of the body work and paint. I'm sure it will come out awesome.
