I am waiting on some cohline fittings to finish the re-plumbing of the oil coolers on Igor. So yesterday I replaced all the Fluorescent lights in the garage with LEDs. It is way brighter in the garage now.

I have to go to the recycling center now to get rid of 16 eight foot fluorescent bulbs and 8 ballasts. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

My 914 is at the tuner's and preping the Benz racer has me distracted. I made a quick splash mold of the sunroof in prep for fabbing a carbon panel to close the hole.

And let's get that ignition switch moved to the correct location, shall we? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

No comments on the seat mount - it's temporary, just so I can move the car around. Yes, despite the fact that I ripped out (literally) the interior, air bags (8 of them) and all sorts of mysterious electrical and pneumatic stuff, it actually runs and drives in this condition!

Made and started fitting the RacerBenz's carbon sunroof panel.
And since this is becoming a major build project for me, I figure it's best not to distract with more posts about it on this forum. I'll starting a build thread elsewhere. Wish me luck...

I am happy to report that the new to me MGC just made its first drive since 1993.

Picture from when I got her last weekend, man having to wait on the parts need to see if I could get her going was killing me this week!

Not very rev happy but the torque from the inline 6 is quite pleasant.

Great score, far from a P-car, but the MGC model is a good one, rust?

Hi there - it's been great to see you dive into your 914 project, thanks for becoming an active member so quickly.

The MGC is a very different car than the MGB it is mostly based off, but of a cliche but it really does feel a lot like a smaller E-type coupe. I accidentally started off in 3rd gear from a dead stop and the car didn't complain. It is a California car from new so pretty solid, some minor welding but nothing structural.

Spent Saturday cleaning out my Dad's garage. Once his estate clears probate, I have two old Chevys to sell.

Sunday was spent moving stuff and cleaning up in my garage. The HVAC people come on the 13th to put in a Mini-Split heater/AC unit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

So nothing on the 914s. But I thought about it.
