Didn't get to work on the 914 as much as I hoped over my vacation, but still made some good progress over the last couple of days...
Frame rails in the engine comp. are stripped naked They still need some minor detailing here and there and the "hell holes" still need to be cleaned, but most of the hard work is done Tonight I welded the rear shock towers to the frame rails Quite a gap to fill... Attached image(s)

QUOTE(URY914 @ Nov 21 2004, 07:51 PM) Very clean and nice, Joe. Good job. I've always wondered if the strut from the ear foward is enough? I'm thinking of running a bar to my rear tranny mount. It will run just over the axles. Whata ya all think? Over kill? Paul No, I don't think it's overkill. The tube you see from the ear to the firewall is not really backed-up sufficiently in my car. I did it because a local racer advised me to do so, but as I was putting it in, I did realize that, although it serves some purpose, it's less than perfect in its application. |
