5 weeks till Amelia Island.

Great progress. The car looks fantastic!

Thanks Dion, hope to bring it to Amelia sooner or later... and do a few road events. Couple of fun ones in Florida, also think this car would be great for Highlands. Taking our '67S this year.

I just saw this thread about my old factory six. I bought it in the mid 80's from the owner who was in Tulsa, Ok. I autocrossed it for years. I won ASP in our region once in it. I wanted to build a track car and the body on this car was in bad shape. I was at a shop a family member had and it was then when I removed rocker panels and discovered the angle iron! It came with the factory 2.0. I replaced it with a 2.7 until I had head studs that pulled. I got a nice 3.0RS spec motor built on a 3.3 turbo case. I found a nice 914-4 for my project car. I removed what I wanted to keep and sold it to a friend who lived in Tulsa but at the time of the sale he was moving to Texas. That's the last I heard of that chassis. As well as autocrossing I was an instructor for the PCA driver ed events at Hallett, Ok., Memphis Mototsports Park, and Road Atlanta.

So cool to have all this personal history provided by a previous steward of this car! Thanks for filling in a substantial period and especially the photos, it's a pleasure to time travel a bit.

I’m watching Bernie Buschen restore his GT in time for Rennsport and it’s interesting how similar your two cars are - down to the tank and cable pull headlights. Like you he’s got some real unobtanium bits and likely also a 2.8 twin plug RSR with slide valves.

Who will finish first?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) The Ronals ... Thanks for those, JT!

Making progress, harness is in, suspension is on, and while waiting for some parts restored the wiper system and started on the defrost/blower. Also fabbed up the fuel gauge binnacle which came out pretty nice. 60mm exhaust pipe cut on a 30 degree angle, tacked on a couple of washers as mounting points and sprayed with a little bed-liner paint.

Not digging the fresh air / defrost job at all. I have two complete sets in the stash, and MAYBE half is usable because of cracks and broken tabs. The good airbox has overspray that won't come off, so semi-gloss black rattlecan is gonna happen.

At least the blower motor is available.
