Ok, it's starting, almost all the pieces are in place.

I worked Spring and Summer getting the car all in primer and finishing up the custom valances.

I actually thought this time last year I was suppose to be done.

Here are some photos of the car last week getting towed to the bodyshop, and pictures of how it looked this morning.

Next week I will start to assemble my two and a half years of acumulated stuff back
onto the car and fit the engine.

I will document it with pictures as I go along.

The Completed Car Photos for those who want to skip all 25 pages:

The car is going to be a beauty and a very special 3.1 twin plug turbo powered one at that.

Here are the past links showing the progression and R&D it's taken over the years to get the car to this point.

Wow that looks great! Having a car that looks that nice will help when sifting through the parts.

Nice color!

Awsome...

Can I stop over next week and see it?

I will be impossible for me at this point to put a dirty or old used part that hasn't been reconditioned back on it.

Here is what is getting put back in.

Wow Dave! That things looks great in Sig Orange! Can't wait to see it with my own eyes!!!

Looking sweet!

glad to have helped a little...

You are officially "Hooked" and off the deep end now. Glad to see it

Be sure to use a sturdy air filter as the intake is likely to suck in small children and pets!

I really dig the rear spoiler, looks like LOTS of work went into smoothing it and the flairs, this is going to be one outrageous car. You and 'falcon need to get together and have a 6-cly turbo off

That car is looking fantastic!

Your color choice is perfect!!!

Also, just noticed your front valance COOL

lookin Great so far......can't wait to see further assembly!!

There is something special about a freshly painted 914 shell

Chappy


Beautiful paint.

When I opened up the post I was expecting to see a black car?? I didn't know you changed your mind. All bright colors are great on 914's. Keep those pictures coming.

Tom

I have to catch up on some work today, I re-fabricated my muffler hanger to accommodate a larger wastegate, I now need to do a little welding on it to re-strengthen it.

I sandblast etched into the aluminum intake pipe the Porsche script.

Here is the engine layout. I have made a few changes since this picture, but it gives you an idea.

view of tail pipe. Now back to work...

My friggen good lord man! That is amazing! I am going to watch this thread!

Nice, so far. However, that air filter doesn't look nearly big enough (sq/in of filter material). The Cap'n

Unbelievable!!!!

This is going to be an awesome car!

It's got to be a little scary when you itemize your parts list, just don't attach any $$$ next to it.

You are doing a beautiful job.

Greenie

Cap'n Krusty, the Pelican turbo guys came up with the air filter idea when the
Fabspeeds were selling for around 300.00 RarlyL8 swears by them.

These only cost 6 bucks to replace and they work on big 4 barrels, but I will keep
your suggestion in the back of my mind and check it out.

Dave at the bodyshop doing the buffing.

Jesus H

Simply wonderful.


Perfect color also.


Ron

Wheres Xzibit? Because that's PIMP

Chappy, as always, you are an inspiration!

'Chappy if you've got a little extra room...let me send you one of these filters.
On a new 2007 BMW 335i twin turbo, we made +13 RWHP and +8 RWTQ with this filter (over oe paper element) , and excellent throttle response. I had -0- grille clearence on my biturbo 6 , so I hand built a custom cone filter (real short) and instantly started building boost @ 500 rpm earlier
I've been busy building new prototypes at work for new customers , and tuning junior's 2.0 for track events...but stumbled on your progress thread
I do put about 3 hours a night in on my GTK upgrade (black six) , so when it's done I'll post up the results. Keep up the trick work.
Pic is MSDS filter sys for the '07 335i/ biturbo
peace
Marty

Marty, when I get that engine in this week I will see what kind of room I have for it.

I finally got the car back home, I am busy pulling the harness back through and installing the defroster vent thingy, Pictures of the fun stuff later tonight.

guess who saw it today...

ME!

it's freaking beautiful, and gonna be one cool-a$$ hotrod.

Progress report.

Because I have had to pull some late nighters to get work done on the car I haven't been able to post as I go along I am always to tired and had to many frosty's . This has been progressing way slower than I expected. How is it that I have parted out 4 914's over the past few years, never thrown away a nut or bolt but am constantly scrambling to find a clean one.
As you can see nothing is going to be put back on the car unless it is in like new condition. I have got the front trunk pulled together now and will work my way to the back of the car. I should go faster now as most of the stuff going back in is cleaned up or new, and ready to go in. The interior progress will post next featuring my reupholstered leather interior and kick ass sound system.

The rest for now.....

OMHMFG... that is incredible

Gas filler neck...........

Red, ya - That's the ticket

You were right

Looks great- good work takes time, great work takes more. I am hopeful of having the 914 turbo up and running this weekend. Finally. Hey, what are the flex tubes along the sides of the wheel arches in the front trunk for? And, have you called "Excellence" magazine to schedule your photo shoot yet? Maybe we should gang up on them for a feature article, "Turbos of the mid west!"

Keep up the good, no, great work!

Brake cooling. Just hung the doors and new handles, it's starting to look like a car again.

holy schmokes!!!
keep the pics comin!!!

My camera wont down load now for some reason.....

since you asked about the brake cooling ottox914, here's chappy showing off his custom gt valance. those brakes might get a little air...

Chappy,

You have taken the building of 914's to the highest level. Workmanship & the level of beauty is beyond words.

Your car is beautiful & I love the color with black accents.

Tom

"Wow" thanks for the compliment Blizzy.
Doors are on....I may put the engine in tonight or finish the interior...????

The doors still need a final buffing before the windows and seals go on so I am inclined not to work on the interior but still have plenty of other things to do...

Chappy,

Did you put a Brad Mayeur outside long kit on? I like the side marker lights as well. I was considering doing the same thing with mine. That car and your work on it is inspiring. It gives me something to aspire to with mine.

I just picked up the hoods and engine lid, so more parts continue to go on.

I did the Brad Mayeur outers and the Engman inners...

Viagra for your longs!

Shots of the front hood....

Where did you source the gas filler door?

Beautiful!

Thanks

Eddie

And does it come wiht a lock?
