OU8AVW's Build Thread, On the road again..... Options

[OU8AVW]

I've been lurking here for four years, I signed up the day after I bought my 914. It's a 1971 car and I bought it because the doors clinked shut like a Porsche is supposed to. I have learned allot from this forum and I'll say it again, this is the best auto forum on the intraweb!

Work situations, other car projects, a sailboat and three kids that play Lacrosse, swim, ect I have not really worked on the car at all until recently. I have been prolifically collecting parts, knowledge, and building a network of trusted friends and vendors.

As it stands:
-I have 75% of the sweet parts I need
-Scotty B and I made a good deal to have him paint my car
-I have a running motor with 40 Webers, another fully machined motor with rebuilt heads and six new injectors waiting to be assembled and a sideshift trans.
-My good friend Eric of Willswerks in VA and I trade labor. He's a transmission guru like Dr. Evil. He also has a huge stash of NOS part's he hooks me up with
-I have a full interior with new leather seats, new carpet and new door panels
-A set of sway bars for both ends
-A nice set of 2.0 Fuchs

I need-
-Brakes
-A little pan repair
-A dash
-a few more bits i can't remember now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
-A freakin' garage!

Here's what she looks like now-




She's supposed to be white and I think I'll go back to the original color. Here's my inspiration:

I bought a set of Pistons and cylinders here for $75. I expected to keep them as an extra set to play with. I opened the box and they are a set of unused KB 96mm pistons! stoked! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
That was about the last thing i needed before engine assembly can begin....

So engine spec will go a little like this:
2056 with 2.0 case Fully balanced
KB pistons and AA cylinders
Rebuilt heads with new SS valves and new guides
Raby 9550 cam kit
Chromoly push rods and NOS tubes
D-Jet with NOS injectors and NOS air temp sensor (so far)
Triad twin exit exhaust
Powder coated tin

Car specs should be something like this:
Rebuilt side-shift trans
Fully polished 2.0 fuchs
Full PMB restored brake set-up
Tangerine fuel hose and pump relocation set-up
90% new rubber, OEM and 914 rubber
Scotty B body work and paint
Leather stock seats
New door panels and carpet kit from 914 Appearance
Under dash gauges (in the market for the gauges)
LE front valance
Chrome bumpers
et al.....
