I could have put in a flipped H for you today. I only opened mine for inspection and swapped the tail cone. That little girl could have helped you too.

Tomorrow is judging.

Most likely no. There are so many NICE NICE NICE show cars out there.. If they like the odd and different... I have a good chance..

Im guessing I have a 1% chance at an award.

Very sweet. Congrats Andyrew, you have rocked it yet again.

Take this with a grain of salt: The rockers.... dude, what you going to do wit the rockers? It seems like the flow is interrupted by the fender. Body color? Blacken bottom edge of fender to continue the stripe that's in front and behind that spot?
Not picking on it - amazing as is, just thinking out loud.

Installed a WINK mirror today! Under $20 shipped to me from ebay. Really happy with it!

Now I just need to get some black vynal to put on the window to replace my visors.

Im really happy I didnt put the stock mirror back in, this one looks great!!

I have a couple of other neat little additions that i'll be putting in soon so stay tuned (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

OH MAN! I had a Wink mirror in my first 914 (33 years ago). It was awesome and I wondered what ever happened to them.

I got that and my 'Porsche' bolder tint and front air dam from Anything Limited which used to be in West L.A. Those were the days....

I'm on my 3rd wink mirror. Do yourself a favor. Mount some aluminum L channel to the front bottom of the mirror. If you leave the car parked in the sun, the mirror will soften and sag in the middle. Took about 6 months but has 3/4 sag in it. I screwed L channel on my new one. 12 months and no sag.

Oh, and bend the L channel to hold the right (passenger) side adjustment screw. This will stop it from breaking the embossed bolt off.

Good advice Mike! I'll get to that sometime, as of right now the car is never parked in the sun (I park it in a warehouse at work).

Sigh...


$200 later, I just ordered a new one.. American tire couldnt fix it, they did offer to prorate it for me for a new tire, but they couldnt get the same tire and I know the Sumitomo tires run very tall... I have a phone call into City of Modesto to see if they will do anything for me.

There is hope!

Had a couple of cooling related issues. First off the autozone chrome water inlet on the intake manifold has been corroding away on the inside and finally corroded so far that it created a leak. Pretty bad.. So I drained and flushed the system and installed a factory cast piece that looks like it wont ever have that problem. Took a couple of tries to get all the air out of the system but I did it.

Another issue I had was I had a pusher and a puller 12 or 14" fans (cant remember) and the pusher's connections broke and caused for fraying of wires and a contained electrical fire. I removed the pusher and have been running just a puller, however I wired it backwards on accident and I also decided that one fan just isnt enough. So while dad was picking up some bolts at pick and pull for my honda he picked up a Lincoln Mark VIII radiator fan. 18" of fan glory that fits the radiator PERFECT. MY OH MY does this thing suck air. Absolutely dwarfs the old fan and supposedly pulls 4k CFM. I have it running on just the LOW setting and will setup a separate switch for the HIGH setting (its a 2 stage fan). The only thing I think I have left to do for the radiator is setup a duct to force the air out the wheel wells as I think there is some turbulence currently and I dont think its as efficient as it could be.

What size inlet hole did you cut? Mine seems much smaller than modern renegade conversions, and I wonder if this is causing my 200 degree freeway temps.
