One more window framed and installed in the '914' trailer, one more to go. Jeremy has been a huge help with this project (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif)

Well, actually, we need to pull two back out, adjust level and plumb, and seal with silicon caulking. This is the proposed kitchenette area.

I could be wrong, but those rear springs seem a little small for a V-8. It looks amazing though. Its gonna be a fun one!

They are actually. Those are 100lbs. I have a set of 200lb springs on the way.

Haha, where did you learn to count? (well, I guess the picture is cropped). They're 911 hubs, actually.

After looking at the pix again (more closely), I edited my post ... guess I wasn't quick enough to escape the wrath (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif)

V8 thats a big boy engine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Today I took off my old 4 bolt rear hubs and redrilled and cleaned up my drums for the 5 bolt hubs. The old bearings seem good so Im gonna run them and find out . Also made a little tow hole backet to bolt on with the strut.

Yeah, this little tranny has a demanding life ahead of her... uh, him... shim? Until I can afford a more robust replacement, I'll try to be smooth and gentle (and maybe say a little prayer at every stoplight).

How do you remove the hubs without damaging the bearings, shop press?

Thanks, it's from a 2001 Corvette convertible (30k miles). I had Racer Chris fab a custom shift rod to clear the longer exhaust manifolds and batwing oil pan.

Just spend the better part of the afternoon "trying" to replace my Rear Sway Bar Drop Link Bushings! Finally got them replaced on the drop links! Damn that was a bitch! Boiled water too! Got one end of link on the sway bar bar with no problem. However, the end that connects to the shock and arm: No way! I even got a "big ass channel locks" from Home Depot and it was not big enough! I will take it to my mechanic next week and he will put it on in five minutes!

Drill little holes in them to allow any air to escape, heat them in water, grease and a C-clamp. Should do it.

Beautiful "new" 914 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) She's a twin to my first 914 nearly 30 years ago.

I finally got around to re-installing my exhaust system. Had to replace a cracked heat exchanger. Hoping the exhaust will be leak free now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Drove "Shotgun" to work. My wife named her that because of the gun powder grey paint and the fact that the only room for a passenger is in the shotgun position! Had the early shift today. Pic was at 6:30am
