Jim, you have a sharp eye. The return spring was necessary due to the age of my transmission. It is a 1995 transmission and they were externally sprung back then. The newer transmissions utilize an internal spring.

I am using large area flat washers on the top of my transmission and engine mounts. They are identical to the washers that you see on the bottom of the mounts. I am not sure if that is the correct way of doing things but it works. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Looks great, Ray. There must be 15-20 engine pulls between you and I. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

Thanks Chris! I will pass on to the wife that you liked the upholstery job. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I have put about 6k on my car. It hauls butt with the 3.0L. It is a ton of fun to drive but I am toying with the idea of selling it. I am starting to look at buying an airplane. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Go for it. BTDT. I can tell you from my own experience; if it Floats, Fly's or Fucks, rent it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) I had fun flying in TX. Must have busted 10 FAR's a week while there but CA , not so much. Hanger in TX was $75 month. CA $400. Comparatively speaking, the sky's were just as crowded as the roads. What are you looking at? Hopefully not some spam can. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Thanks Kent! It was a good day. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I would like an RV7. I have been considering a Cessna 172 or Cherokee 180. It seems like either one could be had for about 30k.

Well you obviously haven't flown an RV or those other candidates wouldn't even be mentioned. IMHO, the 914 is the automotive equivalent of the RV series. Nimble, quick and economical. If you build one skip the adjustable prop. Big extra expense and the extra weight on the nose feels weird in turns. I never flew a 7. I know it doesn't have the carry threw spar but what are the specs re: the G ratings. I would imagine the roll rate is around 270' sec. 0-320 or360? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif)

You are correct, I have not flown an RV yet. It really comes down to interior space and price. I would like to be able to throw a couple of mountain bikes in the back. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) It is all still very much up in the air. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

I have been considering it. It would be fun to see your car. I will chat with the War Department and see if she is up for the drive.
