Well, we finally got some cooler weather so it was sanding time. Sanded all my fresh paint with 400 in prep for respraying (in the right color this time….grrrr). Hopefully my next pics will be of it freshly painted and ready to move to assembly stage.

Started working on the heater core setup. I’m adding a heater core to the fresh air box for heat/defrost. I had to remove some material and then add some to the front of the box. I used ABS sheet from McMaster-Carr to make the addition. More to come, I’m just getting started…….



Cool project!

What are you using to attach the additional ABS to the heater box?

Nice weather this week. Got the tub repainted (the right color this time). I’m so glad to exit this phase and move on to assembly.

Now that paint is done, it’s time to move to more fun things. I’m going with orange negative side stripes and decided to paint the Fuchs to match. One down, three to go!

Put my cooling lines through the tunnel today. The lines are 1-1/4” aluminum with barbed ends. The tubes share an insulating layer of insulation to keep the heat out of the tunnel/interior. The tubes are sealed to the body at each end via 8mm high temp silicone seal with retaining plates.

Now I can drop my engine/trans in….progress now that paint is cured.

Mounted up the engine and trans today. The cradle lines up so nicely that I did it by myself in about 20 mins. I guess we’ll see how many times I have to take it back out before the project is through (hopefully none, but I’m a realist).

Great stuff. It should have a nice light front. Should be interesting to see how it floats on a washboard. Should have plenty of power to find out.

Bumpers painted and I’m officially declaring the paint phase complete! Of course I still need to paint rockers and valances but I don’t count things that get painted with a foo-bomb can.

I’ve got 2 fresh new bumper tops to put on these, hopefully they fit well. I’ve had 13 914’s and never had one with body color bumpers before. I think I’ll like it on this car.

I’ve been working on the wiring on/off between other aspects of the project. I’m using the entire Subaru harness and adapting it to suit all the 914’s needs.

I was able to mount the Suby interior fuse panel in the stock 914 location. Also mounted several of the relays in the general area. I had to make an extension bracket for the right side of the fuse box but the left side mounted right up to the stock 914 mount.

I had to extend the engine harness 85” to accommodate the engine being behind the seats instead of in front of the windshield. Hardest part there is properly extending the shielded wires (for various sensors) while maintaining proper shielding. I still need to dress out the cable with proper sheathing/protection, but at least it now reaches and connects the engine to electrical system.

Looking good! I like your wiring is looking nice and clean. That always takes a lot of extra time to make it look nice.

Ran my heater core lines and some 12v lines through my drivers side heater tube. To seal off the tubes and keep critters out I used 2” Fernco caps. I cut pass-thru holes and they make a nice tight seal. I put caps at each end of the heater tubes. I used these on my 3.6 build years ago for the oil cooler lines and they held up perfect.
