These rotors have been sitting on my shelf since WCR 2009. I was afraid to tackle the job by myself, but it was time for new brakes. Ian Karr's video gave me the confidence to tackle the job.

New rotors, with pads and rebuilt calipers from PMB Performance. Too bad it all gets hidden under the wheel tomorrow!

For the windshield trim you may have to remove the glass and start over. Clean out the track and install new clips and then the windshield. Then the trim. Additionally, I do not see the front mounting screw and spacer for the rocker install. But the rockers do look nice. :beer2
The rockers were fiberglass. Were the factory rockers fiberglass or is this an aftermarket part? Do you know of any pictures available on the web of the correct installation of the rocker in terms of the parts (you mention the mounting screws and spacer) used? I see that AutoAtlanta has a kit but I'm not sure where everything goes.
Factory rocker were steel.

I lost a passenger side fiberglass rocker on the 'BB' in a heavy rain downpour several years ago - it created a giant puddle on a freeway, and I hit it at a high rate of speed and 'POOF' ... it got torn off (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I still have one driver side fiberglass rocker up in the rafters, would like to source a passenger side replacement (or a complete pair) to put on our remaining 914 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

I have a set of fiberglass ones on Elwood. I would trade them for a nice set of steel rockers.

More funky brackets and cable ties. Not a fan of the brackets, will remake them once car is road worthy.

I added a few snapshots of Fusion 360, the CAD program I used for these parts. While not 100% needed, I imported in a picture of a 914 transmission and used that as a guide. With the software you can make the picture pretty darn close to 1:1 scale.

With the help of a good friend we got the engine back in the '73. Most stuff done on the top. Have to button up the linkage, exhaust on the bottom and will be ready for a shakedown... not so bad as it is finally starting to cool off a LITTLE here in the valley of the sun.Attached Image

nice looking survivor, whats the color? I have been enjoying watching your updates on the different projects on instagram too. i am not surprised that he turned that down because as a survivor even with a repaint its worth more than $50k, that year and model rare color, more like $75k, I've been offered close to that for mine and its not going anywere anytime soon either!!! those guys up in the NW are lucky to have you Cary!!!

Keep up the good work!.

Thank You .................. The addition of Ben Martin is taking us to the next level.
I get to focus on bringing chassis back to life.
Ben puts them back together as good as new or better.


The $50k was just a shot in the dark. He has ZERO interest in selling it.
Hope to get pictures of the 90 year old gentlemen he bought it from when he sees it in its original state.

The exterior had been 80'd. Guards Red.

Hello @SKL1

Can you share how you finish your firewall? Is it a textured bedlner then the red paint on top of it? is it also help like a deadener to lessen engine noise to the cockpit?

And with the breather box, is it tangerine or what company you got it?

thank you!

This is the status of mine now.

Been a little busy getting the interior assembled, the metal sealed inside and underneath. Also a shout out to PMB for assistance with my 100mm wheel studs. Almost ready to throw the suspension and doors on to wrap it up for storing outside to bring in the donor car for tearing into.

and the dank stock exhaust on with my beat up valence.

I'm still looking for a early valence with a hole. Anyone have one in NC/VA?

ndfrigi- my paint guys (Stalltek in Wellman, IA) did that when they painted the whole car six years ago. Not sure what they did to make it like that as the rest of the paint is normal-sorry. Yes, breather from Chris at Tangerine.


Did get the half-shafts, cables, and shift linkage in today. Headers and muffler tomorrow and should be close to firing up. Added a 123 distributor so I'll be doing the timing as well!
