I drove Skline's car home, the big 1300 mile trip in a 914-4 2.0 FI........And that was enough for me. I pushed the car into the garage and sold the engine, FI, Tires, wheels and a few other 4cyl related items. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Here is a couple of shots of the progress of Scott's old car. There has been a lot done to it you will not see. I just snapped some shots last night to give a quick update on this project. So please excuse the mess around the car. I have also been working on A LOT of customer cars lately.

QUOTE (messix @ Jul 27 2005, 10:29 PM)
what front valence is that ?

looks nice. stealthy with out the flares.

Fiberglass repo of the special addition 914 air spoiler. F/R fiberglass bumpers as well. I know this is a 74', but I can litterally push the car around with one hand. I am very curious to wiegh the little guy.

My goal, drive it this weekend, put some miles on it. The only things left I have to do is hook up the throttle (needs new cable, old one broke - my fault) and replace one more oil tube. One was leaking really bad, so I replaced it, another one is also leaking, so gotta replace that one too. While I had the engine out, it got new seals pretty much anywhere I could replace them, rear main, oil cooler, ect.

I might actually send this down to CAMP (or sell it if he doesn't want it) with the interior not done. All the pieces will be there, just not installed. The rest of the car would be a done car.

Interior Pieces would include:
Recovered upper and lower dashes by Miiiiiiister Evil
New carpet - Nice grey loop pile
Door panels, complete in decent shape, early better 2 piece style
VERY nice re-covered seats in a grey cloth. They go great with the paint.
Backpad is in great shape.
Factory center console installed with correct heater lever and hinged center seat.
New gauge face for the 3 gauges, the thing that holds them place.

So it would need:
All those above pieces installed
New door window squeegies - $15 a pair
Rear window re-sealed - Easy, especially with all the int not together.
Rear window outside seal - one above the engine lid $40 I think?
911 tach - Unless I get one before hand. I haven't been looking.

If Craig wants it, I am sure either he will work out having me do the above for him or he might just do it himself.

Either way, the car has to go. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) I am going to take and pay off the last of the bad house deal and give the rest to my parents. Aren't I just a saint? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) My Dad was diagnossed with Terminal Cancer, crap, I can't even remember how to spell it: Gastro Carcinoma? Spelling? Anyway, his treatment is costing my parents bucko bucks. So my brothers and I have been helping out were we can. Doc says he has months, we are hoping to stretch old dad for a few years. He has some grand kids we all want him to be around for as long as we can. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

So, you can see why I started busting my ass on this after letting it sit for a month. I have a goal. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Two goals actually! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
