I bought another '73 2.0. It arrives next Saturday!!!

I've got it bad.
Must be nice to have a back up teener, when the other one breaks!!
Yeah, but only if the 'back up teener' actually runs (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Nothing too major ... I took delivery of some interior door panels yesterday - much nicer condition than the ones that are currently in the 'BB' (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Also received some other 914 parts recently that I've only been able to store on the shelves.


I finally finished sanding, cleaning and painting the 4th MBZ CLK forged alloy wheel on Monday. (I painted the other 3 wheels a year ago) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)




Mounted and balanced a set of Yokahama Geolander (215/65-16) tires on them last night. (These are for 'Eileen', the Westy). I need to test fit them to see if I'll need wheel spacers (up front), then I can order longer lug bolts. I might need longer studs for the rears too (alloys are a little thicker than the stock steelies).



Hoping to get some free time soon, so I can finish up with the hydraulic clutch release system in the 'BB', and prepping Dianne's car for the body/paint shop


Those rims would look good on a 914, I think a set of Bundt wheels with the center cap protrustion machined off would look slick on a 914 as well.

I replaced the turning indicator assembly and horn ring on the steering wheel. Now I can turn the steering wheel without the horn going off. Pretty embarrassing.
I also installed the JWest fog light flasher adapter. Way cool!! Nice upgrade.

I did the final bit of welding today. The drivers side now has a rust removed section welded in.

The car is now a complete body again for the first time in 21 years.

The inner seams were sealed and it's currently curing.

Ready for primer / stone chip / primer tomorrow.

Hopefully i will have the car rubbed down and in primer by the end of friday.
