July 1st update for Build-Off Challenge.


Took the motor out of storage and started to tear it apart for a camshaft swap, I will also be adding 911 swivel adjusters to the rocker arms.

Still undecided on fuel management right now. Waiting to see if Jake chimes in again on my engine build thread on what direction to go with it, I am open to all known good options.

It's time to start thinking about a trophy for the winner of the build-off. If anybody has any ideas for the perfect trophy I'd love to here then.



Isn't the golden JackStand the perfect trophy??

914-SHO Project

June Progress: No major progress for the last couple of months. Just minor bits & pieces.

Challenges: Other projects. Needed to get my garage back so I could work on 914. This meant getting a shed for all the kid's stuff & my sons 914. Then of course all the stuff had to be moved from the garage to the shed - after building a lower loft in the shed, etc, etc, etc.

Vendor Participation: None this month.

Pictures: None.

Just put detailed updates in my build thread...

PROGRESS this month: I cut the passenger side long out of the car and welded in the last piece of the front corner in preparation for the new long.

CHALLENGES: I don't think I've mentioned this yet, but overhead welding has been a challenge. I'm not using a rotisserie for a couple reasons, one being that I think total replacement of the longs needs the car to be level so that it can be made straight. I'm sure some will disagree, and have good counter-arguments- maybe I'll try it different next time.

VENDORS: No vendors this month.

I would LOVE to post a picture or something, but I'm going to ask Chris at Tangerine to do that- I'm hoping he has taken a few of the progress. If not, I won't have documentation. So, Chris, if you happen to read this and you find a minute, post a couple pictures......

That was my thinking too. Overhead welding may suck, but not as bad as a twisted car, better safe than sorry.

Ya, I think you might be right. I will start working on that. Any other ideas are greatly appreciated.

We will start Round 3 voting this Friday (7/22).

Month 10 continued……

Despite all the setbacks from the TIA, the Consultant thankfully found no lasting brain damage. I’m still having many ongoing tests and have to stick with the Medication and low cholesterol diet until they can find what caused it.

The good news after a month is that I can drive again. For someone who’s raison d'être is cars, it’s the best news ever!

Progress on the 914 has been good in cramped conditions and bad weather setbacks, the whole underside is restored and repainted, front suspension and brakes refurbished, rebuilt and back on. Wheels part restored and the wheel bolts refurbished. A little self indulgence was had on making a neat 316 Stainless Steel fuel manifold for the Carbs in the engine bay; and the engine lid was re-assembled.

We only have 2 months left now before the end of this 12 month Build-off Challenge and I’m on track to have the car tested by the UK Ministry of Transport so that after many years sitting un-used it can be returned to the road and enjoyed again.

Thanks yet again for taking time out to read my ramblings and please check out my Build-Off challenge thread. I hope you find it entertaining and interesting.

Finishing up details underneath the car this quarter. Purchased a lot of nice rubber parts from 914 Rubber. Top notch parts and service. The new front trunk seal is a huge improvement over the 1st generation seal so I would highly recommend it to anyone.

I am amazed at how well many of the other builds are coming along in this challenge. Nice to see so many 914's getting restored.

July Update: Michigan Build
Michigan Build Link
Build progress :

Wanted to solve the leagal height issues for the headlamps. So July was spent on installing lamps in the turn buckets.

Unexpected challenges:

I have seen others try this, and new I wanted 3 things :
1. To adjust the headlamp independent of the buckets.
2. DOT car headlamp rating
3. Lens that looked factory.

Vendors:

None this month

Progress Pictures:

Only thing to make that even better would be a cast clear section to the lens. That being said I still (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) this, and your build is freaking awesome also.

Well no real progress on the 914 this month. Progress ground to a halt on July 4th, after I tried to modify my fingers in a 12" disk sander.

Chris Foley has almost all my parts done, just needs to ship them out.

As of today I have been working on my Fathers trailer as that is what I was doing when I got bit.

Gross picture of the carnage to follow, look away if you don't like this stuff.

Attached Image

Could have been much much worse, and I am very grateful it wasn't.

Also ordered a bunch of safety equipment, and sprung for a set of Mechanix fabricator gloves. Well worth the price.
