My rusty 73 1.7 build thread, sayin hello world Options

[metalmorphosis]

Hello 914 world! Ive been lazily lurking here for way too long and finally decided
to change that tonight. So heres my 1st contribution to all this 914 awesomeness.
This is my 914 back in 2010 when I started the rust repair. I'm almost done with
rust repair now and I have lots of pics but I have to resize and post latter. It seems like these pics are gonna work even though they are big so I guess we'll see what happens.

I got the wheels for super cheap from a guy I used to work with. They are 17 x 7 honda prelude wheels and when I first dry fitted them I could tell they would fit, although just barely. The front was the easy part, I just redrilled the rotors and pressed in studs(I'm a machinest and welder by the way). The back was a major pain since getting the hub off is such a hassle. So I machined a drill jig that bolted to the og bolt pattern and had the new pattern where it needed to be w drill bushings. Then I spent lots of time w a hand drill drillin holes in the hub, then I tapped the holes and used screw in studs. It was a major pain in the a@# like I said, but I was very determined to get them on. I was also concerned about runout and vibration but they run true.
