No body work updates ...but just wanted to share a story in which I wanted to honor my friend Jim McLeod (type47). Before the time of his passing he and I were both doing
2.4L six conversions. So we had a friendly wager going on as to whom was
gonna get on the road first. Well Jim we both are!
I was fortunate to obtain Jim’s 2.4L yellow fan/engine shroud at the recent picnic honoring him. So it’s now home on my engine. I hope his spirit will enjoy
some road trips with me and my 914 friends. It may be silly to some
but has meaning to me.

I personally think that's awesome.. I am all kinds of about these type of thing's. Everytime I see someone that has served in the military I shake their hand, everytime I look at something my dad has given me I think about back to my childhood and remember the time he gave it to me. Your tribute to Jim is just fantastic..

Back to this (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)
Rear left tail lamp area. Swiss cheese.
Nothing too exciting just documenting.

For those wondering about all those other holes on the perimeter those are the spot weld holes
which will be addressed when mounting panel to car structure. Will be working on sail panel tomorrow and get some primer on the bare metal.

Worked on the sail panel a bit. Brent thanks mate!
The piece you sent worked out fine. When the finish body work is done all should look
proper. Glad it has metal back where it should be.
Here’s some photos of progress. Next on the “ to do “ list, will be the Left console/ longitudinal. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif)
