OK, I have been slacking on updates. But work has been happening for sure.I got the battery cables all secured and terminated at the battery. Brake lines are made. Rear brakes and hubs are now installed (PITA).

The FML914 did strike again, however...the 911CVs I got were supposed to have everything needed to build my custom axles...well, they were missing the top plates that the boots secure to...guess what? they are NLA and nobody has a set.. So I had to buy a complete set of axles. Hooray..I have some nice, clean 108mm CVs if someone needs them...

The MSD is all installed, new wires are made and installed, distributor is indexed, she is ready to fire. Headers are out to get lengthened. I also got the cowl and washer holes filled.

Got the drivers side floor rust repaired and new seat pedestals and hinges welded in. Doing the passenger side pedestals today as well as the under-car seat rail reinforcements.

Modified the cluster to make the speedhut gauges work. Need to send it off for powdercoat along with some other small stuff this week.

Phew..more to come as things go together this week.

Great work....Yes the rear swing arm bearing/brake assembly is a big PITA.

I would like to hear about what adapter kit you used for the 4 wheel boxster brake set-up.

Rich Johnson (a914guy) sells a package. I opted to go that way rather than reinventing the wheel. He does a killer job. Everything came perfect and powdercoated. Great tech support too.

Porsche 914 with 215 buick and MSD Atomic fuel inj: https://youtu.be/JaSQza537a8

It's alive! Fired on the first keystroke. Set the timing then unlocked and let the MSD Atomic take over. I used some magna flow mufflers I had sitting here. Sounds mean

Congrats Erik. Great job. That thing is really shaping up. Magnaflows are awesome. I plan to use one big one on my EG33 phase 2 setup width wise 2 in 2 out.
