Painted some of the trim. Not going to move very fast untill the paint is dry and polished. Then all the trim actually goes on and the new seals and such go back on.

10 days feels like a long time with no updates.
I have been pretty busy, but I had some time today to work.. UNFORTUNATELY I had some issues... Long story short, ECU on the fuel injection setup went out. After swapping ecu's to my dads (We run the same Holley throttle body fuel injection setup....) and trying to retune the car, We were almost finished when something we dont know happened and the car wouldnt stay running. At this point I gave up and decided to throw the old Holley 600 carb back on the car. To autozone to grab a new fuel pump, about 45 minutes dicking around with swapping the fuel pump and we got the car running. Luckily I had the car dyno tuned on this carb (5 years ago...), and the guy worked his magic to make it run awesome, so when we fired it up it ran like a top. Its a little rich, but its pretty smooth. I spent some downtime (waiting for dad to make some shopping runs) wet sanding some area's of the car. I have a bunch of dirt and runs in the paint and I tested out sanding out some of them. The runs are a PITA, dirt and such are a piece of cake... I went to 1500 on the drivers rear quarter and it really looks good. I need to get some 3A rubbing compound and see how it really looks. But throughout this week and next i'll be working on the front and rear bumpers, and getting the rest of the little things painted and seals installed. Again I dont know how much time I really am going to have, but I am going to do my best to get those items painted in less than 2 weeks. |

Hey Andrew,
Thanks for the advise and help you gave me during my build. I dont have any words of wisdom to share cuz of all the things I have done in my garage, body work is the worst. Anytime there is a task with the word "work" in it, it can be painful. Seriously, I love the color. I read all 12 pages of your build and your cooling system thread. I can tell you truly love 914's. If you are ever down in Southern California, look me up. Would love to see that ride in person. Regards, |

Way to go Andrew (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) . Looking great & even better to see it on the road. Always a good feeling driving your teener. Especially after so much work going into that paint. Keep it up man (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Randal,
No WCC for me. Spoiler is the 6" Sheridan model IIRC. |

So spent a total of 17(give or take) hours this weekend between me and my dad cutting and buffing the paint. Its been raining all weekend as well so i couldnt get it in the sun for pictures. I'll upload the pictures tomorrow.
On the runs I started with 600 grit, then 1k then 1500. On the rest of the car it was 1k then 1500. On dirt specs I scraped them flat with a curved razor (details in pictures) then 1k and 1500. Most of the flaws were removed from the paint this way. The fenders look FANTASTIC. This car really shines now. I cant wait to show you guys some in the sun pictures of this thing. (Dad took some, maybe he'll post some). I am VERY happy. But there is still some buffing to do. I have to buff the hood 2 more times, as the 1500 scratches are still there in some spots. Tomorrow i'll paint the headlight covers (as i'll be able to roll the car out of the garage finally since the rain is going to die down..) and get them on the car on Tuesday. Weather stripping also starts to go on tomorrow. |
