I bought this as a stripped down rolling chassis. The sller put wheels on it to get it on the trailer. That was 4 long years ago. I also had a son at the same time so working on the car has been a second priority. Now the engine is in and the brakes are on, I should be able to get some work done more quickly. I plan on firing this up within the next couple of weeks and taking on a drve by the end of July. I got the 3m adhesive today to get the fenders bonded on and then the fun stuff begins. Hope to get it completed in time for next years West Coast Ramble. Thanks to the support and motivation of the 914World. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Another view. I love the look of the 17" wheels.

I couldn't find all the parts in the right color. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) It wasn't too long ago that Conedodger set me up with the blue hood. The original color is on the longs. I am not sure what it will end up as, but my 4 year old(in the avatar) wants to paint it yellow.

Just for the record, 17" wheels do fit with the AA wheel adapters. They are 17x7.5 up front and 17x9 in the rear with 205/40 and 225/45 tires. There is only about 7mm of clearance on the inside of both. First drive will tell for sure if they work.

I am leaning toward a color I saw on a scion. It is a blueish gray color. It is kinda a pastel color. If I see another one I,ll post a pic to see what ya'll think.

Yes I will be taking pictures of the flares as they go on. I will be using the 3M 8115 panel bond adhesive and filling the gaps with body filler with the fiberglass strand in it. Then I will put on a smooth coat of regular filler to finish. I havent done any body work since 79 so this should be fun.

I was looking at an old set of axles I have and I noticed the papergasket in the cv joint to hub. Where do you get these? Also, the throttle cable I got on ebay 3years ago separated in the middle at the steel peice that attaches to the firewall tube. Is there a fix or do I buy a new one? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) I thought about using shrink tubing to hold it in place, but if the throttle sticks I am in trouble.

Careful. Yellow is a very slow color for 914's (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Looks like it's a hot car though. Signal Orange or Tangerine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) |

Dang it's amazing how many different 17 wheels sizes there are for boxters. My boxter wheels were sold to me by a dealer as winter wheels. They are 7x17 et 55 with 205-50-17 and 8.5x17 et50 with 255-40-17. what thickness spacers did you use? what width are the flares?
