He told me this the most snow they've had there since 1967 ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)




And we are supposed to see 65 this weekend. That’s very warm here for February. Global warming = climate change = fuched up weather.

I apologize in advance for posting this here but I am unable to start a new thread for this since I am a new member. Moderators, feel free to instruct me what to do.

I have a project 914 in my shop that someone invested heavily in but the previous shop never finished before going out of business. I have around at least $30k in receipts for parts not to mention the car itself and spares.

I spent several days going through it to see what I have and what it would take to get it going, but we are considering selling it as a whole. The engine starts and runs, but no cooling lines are hooked up, hydraulics (brakes/clutch) or throttle cable.

From what I can see so far it has:

1. Custom subframe with “built” subaru engine (~220hp)
2. Custom Subaru (?) transmission converted to 2wd
3. 911S brake calipers ($$$)
4. AIM dash with tons of sensors
5. Full ~$10k+ elephant racing suspension/coil overs, camber plates, links etc.
6. Two brand new sets of “Fuchs” style wheels with sticky tires
7. Spare Subaru engine
8. New racing seat, harnesses, coolsuit, electronic fire suppression etc.

I’m just poking around here to see if anyone would be interested in this complete project.

Did bronze shifter bushing install. NOT plug and play. Had to buff the bushings on wire wheel to fit. Then found the angle of the cut on the bushings was a little off and not letting them go down. Got out the file and worked on that. Upgraded to late 911 coupler because it is a little beefer. Got everything fitted and lubed with antisieze.

Betty and I went to a local Autocross yesterday....

And I got beat by her by a little over 2 seconds. For some reason, over 33 years of AX racing with her, I always end up 2 seconds behind her.

A little early this year... had it out for the 1st drive of the year. Took it to a paint shop to have some damage repaired. Hit a big raccoon on the way to the autocross last year. Still snow around but at least the roads were dry!
