I might be just too slow to get it done (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) , but I'm trying to get the 73 drivable for the FFC. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif)
I've got a lot of work left to do, but if I can make good steady progress I've got a shot at driving it at the event. I don't think there is much of a chance of getting it 100% complete, so my goal is drivable. I haven't posted any updates in a while so I going to post some pics of stuff I have done. And then I'll try to post frequent progress updates. 914 & 2.0 badges and license plate holder were powder coated a few weeks back. I installed them a couple of weekends back. Attached image(s)

Started retrofitting my engine to a 914 set up.
I bought an engine a little more than a year ago. It's a 2056 that was originally set up for a Manx kit car. The original owner gave up on the project and sold the components. The engine was built by Jake in 01. It has zero miles on it since. I am hoping to put a few thousand on it this year (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) before winter arrives. Unfortunately, I had to remove the DTM (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) . Not the right DTM set-up for a 914. After getting a little familiar with the DTM product, I am very impressed with the quality of the DTM, the engineering effort that is obvious in its design and construction, and the meticulous attention to detail on the installation! Here's the engine as I purchased it. Attached image(s)
