I really like the color of your silver paint, what is it? Maybe it's already in the thread?

got almost everything wired up besides the one green wire that is i think for the temp guage. Prob. going to have to get new ignition wires since these seem too short. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) I put my new battery tray in and the old battery to test fit. Couldnt help myself and i hooked it up and cranked the motor a couple times over to see if everything was working. Fuel pump ran, blinkers worked, engine turned, brake lights do not work?????not sure why. Is the brake light switch just the one on the mc? That should be new and hooked up.
Still waiting for my dist hold down to show up before i can put the distributor back in, and ive been replacing fuel line that is NEW with some fuel injection hose that is alittle better-$80 worth of rubber hose (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) - even though the old new stuff says 50lbs on it. My g/f recovered my spare tire cover today w/ the black carpet i bought while i was fixing the shifter in her 924s, and i put the rubber bumper covers and my german front plate on. No pics till tomorrow, forgot to take it to the garage. We discussed today how the interior was going to go together and my g/f is getting some yards of suede leather to cover the lower parts of the door panels and the headliner, perhaps a few other small spots. If i cant get the dist in monday, i will most likely be installing the headlight motors and such in the front of the car. After she is running and driving, the roof, hoods, valances and rockers will need to be sanded, primed and painted to match. Hopefully this will all be in the next three weeks since im pre registered for some stuff the beginning of june. Also need to get those pesky seat brakets made out of something, somehow, sometime.

well, i got my dist. braket today -thanks dominic!- installed it and tried to start her up, but it wouldnt crank. Turns out the starter took a crap and the batt. was too dead to start at the same time. Charged the battery, had the starter tested, drawing too many amps, volts or something. New starter tomorrow- this one has lifetime warranty. trying now to get my seat mounting situation squared away....

Impressive work man...That thing looks awesome! Those Fuchs with that paint look wicked.
That first start-up is one of the reasons I'm going to wait a few weeks before I put the optical ignition in. I want to make sure when I get it all together again, it fires right up. I really dig where you put it though...that's the spot I'll put mine too. Keep it up dude! I'm going to be in Columbus in 2 weeks...maybe we can meet for lunch? |

we'll see on lunch, thats a hundred miles from here! Got my starter to crank over tonite, looks like there wasnt good enough ground from the engine to the battery to keep grounded, ran a 924s ground cable from the neg- battery to the starter bolt, seems to work now (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) Found out i was mis informed on the rotation of the dist rotor, runs clockwise, not counter. My cool race wires are junk, but the crane cams unit is getting a signal and the coil is throwing spark. Looks like its time to adjust the valves and get some plugs and wires, then see if she'll start. Oh well. Also still trying to find a way to mount my seats, working on it but man its a biatch.

IMHO if you went for the two tone paint, you should've kept the dials. I have the same ones (16"?), but the offset and the way the center sticks out no longer suits my desires. I would like one with more "lip". However, since I'm staying with the stock color, I am also going FUCH.
But don't me wrong, your progress and work are amazing! Doing a damn fine job! Wish I had my garage back! -Brent |

Keep rocking man!
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) I was looking at my crane unit yesterday thinking 'man...should I???' I'll be interested to see what you think the performance gains are. I may be available next Saturday if you need a hand...I'm up for a drive! |

got alittle work done tonite, clutch cable installed, shift linkage installed minus my plastic cover im waiting on in the mail, and the ebrake cables are in but not installed. My bud cleaned and repacked my cv's for me tonite, got the ds axel in but still to do the ps and torque the splines back down again. I ''may" get to pull it out by its own horsepower tomorrow nite if i get some seat brakets done. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)
Question: my rear exhaust will not line up w/ the new motors heat exchangers. The new ones dont step up in the rear, they just go straight. THey also have a different pattern as for how they bolt up, the pattern is slightly wider. I have a show to go to in two weeks, anyone have a rear exhaust i can hang on there for a week until i can have my custom one made??? Any idea why this one is different? Attached image(s)

The heat exchangers pictured are for a 2.0 engine, and you probably have a muffler for a 1.7 where the exchangers would bend upwards near the end of the pipes. You should look into a Bursh if on a budget for a new muffler or you can probably post a WTB add, there were some 2.0 mufflers available lately.

that would make sense, i guess someone had some 1.7 HE's on my old motor! They did bend upwards at the ends. Anyone have a stocker or something i can borrow for a week or two?
