Your spare tire mount is awesome! Totally stealing that idea!


Feel free. I mounted it with two weld on studs, but had considered welding the whole bracket in place.

I wouldn't mind doing it, though I certainly couldn't commit to it. It's easy to make as you can see, but I would change it a bit if done again.

This coming week should be a great week for progress. Four months ago, John Forbes and I scheduled this week to reassemble my 3.2 at Black Forest Racing, and get it running again.

The 3.2 is fully disassembled and mostly clean now. A little more cleaning to do more n the morning, then reassembly begins.

Would really like to mount my alloy spare the same way but the regulation police here wouldn't like it,it is there to provide crash protection also,if you are running a front cooler what do you do,no real choice ,nicely done.

I fear we are headed the same direction. For some reason people want government to control every aspect of life.

That's what we have here,I need separate compliance for my brakes,wheels and engine change,they will find something else to clip the ticket on,real car guys have suffered here due to the ricer drivers and their total disregard for sensible modifications.....sad really,Australia is worse than my country.

Tub, here I thought you guys were all just un-restrained hooligans gooning it up!

And MIT, I am sure you saw the white cat on BAT that got so much attention and brought nice bucks! Love Light Ivory, something about the simplicity of white black and chrome accentuates the simplicity of these cars in my eyes.

A good Saturday morning. The rear rotisserie mounts are welded up, and attached. Sunday afternoon the car should be turning over.

Careful, the stripped shell is top heavy when mounted on bumper mounts. I like how you passed the supports through the main bar, and cleaned up the ends by capping them.

In PA, we are lucky. There's no inspection on antique vehicles. One time registration and carry insurance. That's it.

Completed the rotisserie today, and mounted the 914. For now, I'm going to let it float over the supports I used for a few days - just in case my amateur welds have an issue.

Bottom strip to begin soon.

Turned the car on the rotisserie for the first time today. Works perfectly! One hand turning, and seems to be balanced well. Now to blast the bottom, and remove all of the old seem sealer.

Stripping the bottom and removing all of the seam sealer; a few more evenings and it's done. I'm also removing the 4 banger motor mounts, and am thinking about welding another reinforcement plate over the area.

I must be developing OCD. While stripping the bottom, I kept thinking of the potential rust hiding under the seat reinforcements and jack pads. Finally, I placed an order for replacement parts, and then cut the old parts off the car today.

Rust can't hide any longer. No holes, but heavy surface rust.
