Drove it to the local PCA monthly coffee gathering today. (For any of you near Eugene, 1st Saturday of each month, 10:00 at Market of Choice at 29th & Willamette. Park way at the north end in back.) Admitting that it still has some needs, especially in the suspension, I can see that these cars are a riot to drive, even with just a stock 2.0. This is getting fun. Tell Aunt Tuty to move that friggin Corolla out of there man (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) |

Finalized a good sized order with Scott at 914rubber. Much new stuff. Rubber, carpet, vinyl, etc.
Reassembly will be slower than progress so far, both due to the need to be careful and do it right, and also because I will be on the road for a few days in the middle of the month at Werks in Monterrey. |

It IS a great color. While many of the '70s colors are cool, this is one one my favorites. It is going to attract a LOT of attention.

Oh yes, I'm building it to be a driver, not a show car. It will be a great bug killer.
Speaking of, the painter used tinted sealer before paint, rather than white. The sealer coat is yellow too, so rock chips aren't going to be as obvious. |

Also have noted I still have a small oil drop from the taco plate, so I ordered a billet replacement from Boatyard Buses (Jonesy) in the UK. Will dump the oil and install it sometime prior to getting the car assembled.

Will dump the oil and install it sometime prior to getting the car assembled. Racer Chris and I sponsored a group buy from Neil (Tuna Cans and Taco Plates) back in 2013 (my how time flies). Summit Racing sells the correct (shorter) VDO temperature sensor for that taco plate for about $20. ... I'll see if I can dig up the part # for ya ... |

My current sensor is suspect anyway, a correct replacement would be great. |

Looks like the price has gone up a little in the past 4 years.
VDO # 323-055 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-643-1415751104.jpg) Looks like Amazon might have the best price at the moment ... https://www.amazon.com/VDO-323-055D-323055-...r/dp/B00029XDSU |

All the lights except the license plate lights in back are on and tested. Horns are back as well. Rear deck lid seals are on, and I spent a fair amount of time today repainting the black on the deck lid and then refitting the refreshed engine grill.
Hoping to have time to start on the door latch hardware tomorrow, but I may have to shuttle a friend down to pick up his just completed 911T targa. If so, may not get very far on mine tomorrow. Pics... |
