in order of importance...more or less:

remove Mallory distributor and install stock 1.7 dizzy with FI trigger points

clean and test all connections to the engine wiring harness

remove the relay board and inspect/repair/clean as needed

install modified MPS that is tweaked for current 1.8 motor

install brand new batter cables

find or make a new batter hold down clamp

bleed calipers

make the VW Bug tow bar pictured below work on my 914

remove rear shocks/springs, modify the perch to lower the car at least 3/4" or more in the rear since is riding too darn high

depending on how time goes: install front and rear needle bearings

make the RX-7 caliper adapters and mount the billet hubs with big brakes

I'm sure I'll find more items that have to be taken care of so car is road worthy so that'll mean bumping certain to do items off the list......

If you're going the bug-bar route you're free to use my adapter that bolts on in place of the front bumper.

In the past people have attached tow bars to the torsion bar covers but Brad says he's seen that method fail.

Oh, and if you need the bug-bar I have one of those as well. It says "Graciously donated my Mr. Mike Zois" on it.

so your adapter bolts to this style bar so all I'd have to do is bolt your adapter to the car and bolt this to your adapter???

if so, when can I pick it up.....I'm at work right now, I'll be for a few more hours tonight, but I don't think I want to drive down to SJ this evening.....maybe we can meet up on Friday.....

I bought the tow bar tonight, I'll have to read the reciept to see if I can return it....even store credit would work (bugformance)
