Are you gonna fill in the rear area around the tail pipe outlet with expanded metal/mesh material?

maybe you could cut up an old engine lid grille (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

We were thinking of using the engine grille mesh to fill that area to keep the look consistent.

Yeah, consistency or continuity were the words I was looking for.

Very nice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Wow....I just found this thread...too cool.

I'll have to come over and check this car out, I need to go visit Bob (blackmoon here) to get my Haynes manual from him once I start working on my car again, he lives off of Alhambra (I know, the longest street in Martenez)

Think you'll have the car ready for the weekly car shows this summer in Downtown? We go there and then eat at La Tapatia!

Neat. I'm not sure how I've never seen this thread before either. Looks fun.

What is the current state of the build?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) How did I miss this build. Bad ass! Too caught up in my own (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) ? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
Mike, we might also need a new forum dedicated to build threads to handle The Pandora's Box which Steve unwittingly opened. Cluster comes to mind. Now what was the 2nd word? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Nothing good to report. We had a input shaft leak on the trans so we had to take it out and fix it and the really no bueno news is that we had to tear off the ecu and harness and go a different route. The car just could not be tuned properly. We have already started to build the new harness but time to play with projects is hard to come by so i bought myself a pacifier

I don't recall ever seeing this build either - very impressive indeed. Its hard to see these things through - without becoming distracted - I know first hand. Nice new Porsche you have there... that might just be the "death-nail" of the teener build... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Thanks, i am very happy with the new toy. Definitely not the death nail for the teener, as it is still my favorite car of all time. I drove a friends spec boxster the other day and it made me miss the 914. My friend who is building the car is going to be getting back into cars full time so there is hope that it will be completed in this life time.
