Stripped the undercoating off the floor. Me thinks I might have used too much elbow grease. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shocked[1].gif)

Today I pulled down parts for my V8 car that where packed from my move 3 years ago. Lots of great stuff that I had not seen for some time. The covers for the rear trunk and cover for raised area above the hydraulic clutch cylinder on my 930 4 speed Trans. Back to work on this baby.

Is that. V8 patch piece scavenged, fabricated or sold by someone. TIA, Kent (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

The custom brackets I pulled out of a nice 74 car that I bought from Army Dude with the V8 set up with 930 trans. I cut the 14 x 14 opening and made a riser to clear the hump on the 930 flip trans and the hydraulic slave cylinder. I got trunk sheet metal so I could make the covers as they had to be bigger than the pieces cut out of original rear trunk (metal from Bruce Stone) I wanted a rear trunk and not just an open area where the trunk are on a stock car. I will mount my 5 lug Fucks with space saver over the lid if I can still put the top in.

I bought a nicely priced set of early bumpers recently, mainly for the rear blade. My son picked them up in L.A. for me and the rubber tops that came along with them were in great shape. Really a pleasant surprise. I installed the front top yesterday and painted the un-cracked grilles that came with the front bumper. The plastic chrome was pretty dead, so I shot some satin black on them....it's different?

Sold my Boxster S 6 speed transmission along with the LS engine adapter parts. Sold for what I paid for plus shipping so no money made, but no money lost which is nice for a change.

Putting money right back to paypal and avoiding buying goods for the 914.

Yes it went to a fellow 914World member.

The black grilles look great, Goob ... adds some contrast (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif)

The 'BB' came with back-dated, dented gloss black bumpers when I acquired it. The PO also painted the [non-fog] grilles with the same gloss black, but they were prepped improperly and the paint was cracking off, so I blasted & painted the grilles silver for contrast.

A few years later, I installed some small Pilot driving lights and the chrome bumpers from the '71, and reused the same grilles, but thought about repainting them black.

I do have a few sets of restored fog/driving lights, and a couple pair of xlnt OEM chrome fog light grilles, so I'll probably install that setup when the more important tasks are completed.

Same buddy gave me an alternator.

The desert has a beauty all it’s own. My wife lasted 5 summers in Chandler before making me move back to expensive over crowded So Cal.
