Build Off Notes

Bumper Section:

Mary to clean and paint fog light grilles

Mary to source the clips and screws for the fog light grilles

Parts needed:

Front and Rear Bumper Tops.
The ones at the shop are really not usable. The fasteners are rusted and snapped off.

Bumper Impact Guards:

Quantity 4 The ones at the garage have broken studs. February 4th update Two coming from (Kirmizi) Mike

New Qnty Bumper Guards needed Two



Dog Bones:

Need Two
Need attaching bolts. (hardware store item)


Front Lamp and Front Section:

Headlights:
Trim ring screws Qty: 6
Mary to locate these at an autobody supply store.
If not available sheet metal screw can be substituted at the last minute from the hardware store.

Mary to clean and paint the retractors and headlamp buckets grey. The hinges bolts and back up plates are with the headlamp units.

Need headlamp eyebrow rubber stay. We have 5 we need 6

Running Lights:

The lamps need to be cleaned. New bulbs should be sourced. FLAPS (Friendly local auto parts store)

Need one Amber Lens

Side Lights:

Minimum the gaskets are in very poor condition and need to be replaced. Unknown if these are available but good used should be.

Wiring looked good.
Horn:

Tested good

Cowl Blower:

Motor tested good


Need grommet for the driver side hose where it passes through the cowl.
Both sizes of cardboard hose. Mike G to source the part numbers.

Wiper Transmission:

Motor tested good, transmission not seized ready to install.

We need one black plastic weather cover for the jamb nut.

Washer squirters and hose intact

Seals:

Hood seal

Gas tank bulkhead seal

Gas Tank:

Mary to get the tank powder coated or painted along with the filler neck and expansion tank.

The filler neck gasket was with the filler neck as well as the bolts. The gasket looked to be cleanable and usable if a new one is not readily available. Also the float assembly is at the shop but was not tested.

Parts:

Need a Filter Sock February 4th from (Kirmizi) Mike

We need the clear plastic overflow tube

The cloth wrapped hose that goes from the expansion tank to the filler neck.

Sealant for the filler neck gasket float gasket and bolts. (question for Ed)

1/4 “ rubber in place of felt gas tank pads.

Fuel Line:

Fuel injection acceptable rubber fuel line. Can be sourced locally at the FLAPS.

Note: I’m concerned about the current hard lines installed in the tunnel. There are large compression nuts that require a flared fitting to be connected. These may cause clearance problems and possibly be hard to seal resulting in a fuel leak. I would suggest getting a line kit
from Chris Foley or someone that has a track record and has sourced the correct size and length lines with the correct bends to clear the engine as they exit the lower bulkhead.

Need the cloth wrapped hose that connected the charcoal canister to the engine. Several sections that connect the hard plastic vent hose sections.

Fuel Pump:

Tested good

Note: The pump was relocated to the front spare tire well at some point. It will need to either be moved to the back of the car or under the gas tank. I believe there was a mounting bracket but the isolators were broken as usual. Depending on what decision is made about where the pump will be located there will need to be wiring and fuel lines run. The is wire in Luke’s shop and a FLATS close by for hose and fuel injection clamps.


Brakes & Front Suspension

Need the brake reservoir.

Need to bleed the brakes. There are new lines in place.

Need Brake fluid.

Need Turbo Tie rod set. Need tools to change the tie rods.

Need dust boots for the struts. (missing)

Need to check all fasteners and set alignment with a tape measure.

Dash and Controls Section:

Need the heater control. The one in the car is bent and rusted.

There is a new fuse panel that needs to be swapped in.

The dash top and the upper and lower pad have been recovered. There is a filler strip that goes at the base of the windshield.

The one issue that may hamper the installation of the dash are the fasteners. I would suggest having people bring their bucket of bolts from a 914 car teardown if their driving. We need some missing fasteners.

Dr. Evil has the steering column.

The steering wheel is at the shop.

The gauges are at the shop.

Someone is sending a peddle set.

There is a throttle and Speedo cable at the garage. Is there a clutch cable?

Tunnel Floor

Need the piece of sheet metal for the shift rod firewall bushing. The new lower firewall did not have the shift rod bushing piece installed. This is normally welded in before the firewall is closed in. This will need to be fit and riveted in.

There may have to be a modification made to the length of tube sticking out of the fire will for the clutch cable. Also there will need to be some urethane calk used around the exiting tubes to seal the firewall.

Urethane calk can be purchased locally at the FLAPS.

Need the cable for the heater lever connected to the flapper door heater boxes.

Note: You may need to find a way to secure the heater lever cable tubes inside the tunnel. They are loose inside the tunnel.

Cone screws for the shifter.

Wiring looks to be strung correctly.

Note: The fuel lines are an issue as stated above.

Need the Pedal board (missing)

Need Dynamat for the floor and firewall.

The clutch tube may need to be repaired prior to installing the engine.

Need the heater cable

Windshield –Cockpit Weather Stripping

Need 5/6 setting tape and setting blocks.
There is windshield clips for the trim in place on the frame already.

The windshield trim is at the shop but will need to be carefully straightened.

There is a lower targa seal (top of the windshield frame under the three piece seal.) that is ripped in half.

The right “A” pillar trim that holds the rubber is missing.

I think door rubber is useable if it’s cleaned up. There are flecks of rust stuck to the rubber but they could be removed and cleaned off.

The body rubber in the door openings needs to be replaced.
I didn’t check the vertical glass seal on the targa bar.

Need one latch pillar vent. (round grille)

Doors

Need the left outer door handle.

Outer window belt line trim:

Mary to locate screws. Qty 6

I gave her a sample.

Need Right and Left side felt strips

Need the outer rubber wiper

Need the inner felt at the belt line.

The vent window rubber is in poor shape. These may be ok to install as is but this isn’t a part that is easy to change later. I would suggest replacing this part while the doors apart.

Mark is now reproducing these.

Need door jamb striker plate screws. Missing two.

Targa Bar

Targa bar rear trim is dented and painted black.

Need at least the vertical pieces with the trim screw. The lower securing clip is on the damaged trim in case the used replacement pieces don’t have the clip.

Need the setting tape and rubber blocks for the back glass.

Anyone see the rubber seal that locks into the base of the rear window and seals the engine lid?

The interior pads were recovered.

Engine and Transaxle

Need a vacuum line kit

Need to change the alternator. There is a better one in the garage.

Need exhaust nuts, copper flange gaskets and muffler gaskets

Need the flapper boxes for the heat exchangers

There is a good “T” bearing in the garage.

Need oil and transaxle lube.

Need axle flange gaskets.

There is a starter in the garage.

There is a new alternator wiring harness in the garage

Mary sent the ECU and harness to Jeff B to be tested.

Cheese head screws

There is a rust hole in the engine tin.
Need the left front corner piece of tin

Cool! We didn't test the starter. (tested everything else...) It looked fairly clean.

We need heater flapper boxes. The ones in the engine compartment.

All the cowl stuff is good with the exception of the rubber grommet on the far driver side where the cardboard heat tube passes through. It's missing.

There are Morph speaker grilles and speakers with the car.

[hot_shoe914]

I have dog bones and probably the heater stuff. Will need to go to my storage and see what kind of shape. I also have tits. I will check list and make a parts run this weekend.

I will be happy to donate a full set of stainless replacement lines for this project. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Again I am overwhelmed at the generosity of this group - 914World is the best.

[rick 918-S]

Very cool! Hey Paul (lotus_65) did a google doc Spread sheet for us. Thanks Paul!


Anyone can access it and up date it. Contrary to popular belief I do have a job and need to work. This is a great way for everyone to make and track their own efforts to make this happen.

Here's my thought. I will post the link. If you have a contribution go ahead and post it here AND on the spread sheet. There are columns for tracking the part you are sending, your name, your screen name, the date you shipped the part and the method used to ship.

This will allow everyone to get on board. We have had some great effort already since the recon mission. I think after a week we will need to close down the spread sheet and send Mary a final parts order list. We need to allow plenty of time for shipping.

Thanks everyone for making a difference! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Notice Rick's Fire Extinguisher (water bottle)... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

It was a fun moment ("Fire in the hole - or tunnel as it were).

[A&PGirl]

You can get the cone screws at Ace Hardware. Mikey914 makes the lower targa seal #914-563-319-10 for $34 and is making the vent window seals.

[Dr Evil]

Cone screws with the nylock in them? That is cool. I probably have a new set as well.

hwgunner (Jonathan) at GPR has offered us any new parts we need at cost and any used parts for free (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)
