Mary, the car looks awesome!

The exhaust is FINALLY pulled, boxed up, and ready to go. I apologize for having taken so long - it's been one thing after another at this end. I'll try to get it shipped shortly. Which reminds me: Would you be able to pick up at your nearby Greyhound station? The box is heavy and on the large side, so UPS is going to cost as much as the thing is worth!

I have not been able to locate my spare carpet kit. DOES ANYONE HAVE A KIT TO CONTRIBUTE? That would help me out, as I just got dealt a rather substantial financial blow by my business partner, so I'm trying my best to get a grip on spending. If no one can take up my slack here, I'll order a set from 914AP. I do want to keep my word

-duc

Duc, you are the man! for Mary

I am still working on getting the shipping for the wheels worked out but I will make it happen even if it means delivering them myself.


Shoe

Dan, my body guy, drives a truck and is your direction sometimes. What is the exact location of the wheels? We also have a fellow that works for my husband that used to live in that direction, and travels back occassionally. I'll put the word out, and we'll see what the next miracle will be! Thanks so much!

Please don't worry about the carpet kit. We appreciate your support so much, and how much stress has been taken off of us on this project by everyone at 914World. Please don't put more stress on yourself!
Re: picking up the box- unfortunately we don't have greyhound in the southern part of the state of Kansas. I am MORE than happy to pay for shipping! I would have paid for shipping if I would have bought the part somewhere!
An economical option might be a trucking company. That is how I got some furniture across country one time. I'll do some checking.....
Thanks so VERY much!

Finally, something I can help with

I would be honored to step up and take care of the carpet set.

what color interior is in the plan, ????? don't remember seeing that info.
let me know the color preference and I'll gat James and Heidi get it on the road.

and Thanks number 6 for allowing me to participate

Gary

That's what I'm talkin about!

I'm not sure we've seen the seats yet....

How nice of you to want to help! The interior is in progress... all black leather, except for black and white houndstooth seat inserts. She'll be beautiful! I need to call my upholstery guy and go take a look. Dan has seen it, and says it looks fabulous! I am so blessed to have found this local guy to do it.
Thanks so VERY much!

Gary, thank you for taking up my slack!
It sure sounds like the car will end up with all-black carpet, so this works out great, as the carpet I originally planned on sending was charcoal - me thinks that wouldn't look good w/ the houndstooth.
Thanks again.

-duc

O K, the consensus is black carpet, looks like, I agree that charchol and houndstooth might be too busy.

I will place the order a little later today.

And I stand and salute you for getting this project going, Rick and Kansas914

Gary

Gary,

That really is very generous - thanks so much.

Any chance you can make the "Overhaulin' Weekend"?

Here is the info: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?s=&...t&p=1243037

Ship it to me Duc and I'll drive it out in January. We've got a Greyhound station downtown. Let me know if that will work and we can discuss the details via PM or email.

Gint,

That is awesome - thanks for helping out AGAIN...

Team work!

Mike, we're shipping this way, via Gint, yes? Mary had previously mentioned me shipping to you in Wichita... I can do either.

Gint, I'm PM-ing you. Thanks.

-duc

-duc,

That would be great and cheaper too I imagine!

Thanks so much!

We're good. Duc will ship it to me. He's got my info now.

Thanks Gint and Duc - you guys rock!

Nice work guys!

Exciting news! Dwayne wants to deliver the engine to me this weekend! Ok, so I don't get to hear it roar for awhile, it is still exciting to have that step done. And the biggest blessing, I got to know another really nice person who happens to love 914s!

Very cool, Mary

Mary, Tell Dwayne I have the rubber band shaped NLA throttle body gasket here in my office. I need to know where to send it.

Thank You Mary. I just got it in the mail

You are very kind


MERRY CHRISTMAS

Got mine. A real keeper
Thanks and Merry Christmas

Mary, I received my ornament and card in the mail yesterday!! thank you very much, it's really neat! I'm looking forward to Kansas in Feb. (never though those words would come out of my mouth )

Hi Wayne,

People who live here don't even say they are looking forward to February in Kansas!

Hi all, I have new blue brake hose, nos plastic cups for rear trunk, and nos fuel injector clips. Something you could use? Please pm an address where to send it if you can use it.

Sent you a pm buddy! Hey, Check the post by Mike Morman just above yours. All the links and address is in his signature space.

Great thanks again Rick. Soon as I get a responce I'll drop the stuff off along with a check for the T-shirt.

so is there a current list of parts still needed? I've been quiet but maybe can contribute.

There is still a list. Check the signature space at the bottom of (Kansas 914) Mike Morman's posts. There is an event sign up link, A progress link and a link to a spread sheet for the parts list.

The last weekend of January Me, Mike Ginter, Mike Morman and anyone else that has the time will be heading up a recon mission to set the stage for the February Build Off. When were finished we hope to have a complete list of the final parts needed for a seamless assembly.

Stay tuned for good things coming to the world.

OK, Somehow I have totally missed this thread. Go figure. Anyway if you still need the 1.7 injectors, I have these. They are rebuilt and only have about 300 miles on them. Just before I did the total drive line rebuild and went to carbs I bought these, installed them and ran them for a short time. They've been sitting on the shelf for a little over a year but I'm guessing they are fine. When I installed them they made a big difference in how it ran. The seals were new when I installed them, unfortunately I lost one of the tip seals when I removed them. Anyway, if they can be of help to the cause you're welcome to them.

I doesn't matter that you have missed the thread - you have read it now and are taking action - that's what counts.

WOW! Those are beauties! I know the engine was rebuilt (P&C and gaskets) but I don't think anything was done to the injectors and it hasn't been test run yet - I have to think those are sorely needed!

I will check with the engine builder - thanks a million and Happy New Year!

Do you guys need the clamps, cups and brake hose? Be happy to ship that to you as well.

I know the cups and brake hoses will be appreciated. I will have to check with the engine guys about the injector clips.

I also know that your threshold rivets are being used on the project - thanks to some that Rick 918-S had and donated!

You can ship to me (t-shirt check too, please state size needed) and Rick and I will take it to the project later this month:

Andover, KS 67002

Sounds good Mike, I'll ship it all out next week for you.

Very Cool! Were getting closer to the recon mission the end of the month! Thanks everyone you all Rock

Buttercup's interior is almost completely done! Fernando Cruz did a FABULOUS job. Houndstooth could be a real pain, as any imperfections in tension would be very noticeable. I'll attach photos. And the new black carpet kit to go with the black leather-----She is going to be one sharp 914!
