That's all for now. Was a short day. Got cold again pretty quick. Oh well.

Next project planned is to put in the windsheild and reaar window, then get the interior back in... oh and align the drivers side door. I think I'm going to need some shims (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif)

Hey Todd, anymore progress? I just read through this entire thread and am as impressed as everyone else. Nice work so far.

I'm over on the East side of Medina if you need any help at all. Would love to get together sometime and check out your car. I'll get my Father to bring me over in his TR3 to keep your MGA company. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) Lookin to get my 6 back on the road this Summer. It's been 5 years since I had fun in a 914, and the nice weather lately has me working hard to get her back on the road.

Later,

Dion

Thanks for the inquiries guys...

Yes I am still working on it but not much to record in picture form.

Recently I have.

1) moved the battery to the front trunk with a jegs battery relocation kit (have pics will post)

2) replaced all fuel lines and vaccum lines

3) replaced fuel pump after the old one suddenly died. Now having fuel pressure issues, injector issues ect.

I want to get it running in some form so I can move her around a little easier. After I do that I will install the interior, windows, etc so that I can wet sand and buff...then we should be in good shape.

Oh yea I still have to weld in the rear trunk pan and decide what to do about the front trunk (re: reinstall AC or fill the hole).

When summer is offcially upon us I think we need to get some of the PA, OH, MI teeners together for a meet. We'll try to schedule something soon.

Here is the present the UPS man brought me one day a while back.

Jegs battery relocation kit. Nice kit all the stuff is there. Just have to make a bracket for it...so off to home depot for some angle iron etc.

After a hour or so of welding and cutting this is what I came up with.

Problem being is that while the battery box is nice and clean looking... it is also LARGE. So I have to mount it very low in the front trunk. This obviously creates a small problem.

Problem solved.

Ignore the rusty trunk pan... I have not decided if I am putting the AC back in or not so not sure if I want to fill the hole.

Well some non-picture important work ensued.

Heres what got done.

1) Ran battery wires to starter and juiced everything up.
2) Replaced all engine electrical components and plugged it all in.
3) Replaced fuel pump after it died with an MSD aftermarket from Summit Racing
4) Solved fuel pressure problem
5) installed new vacuum hoses and trouble shot all missed connections



YEA IT FINALLY RUNS. Needs timing set and some tweeking but runs strong and idles well. DAMN WHEW.

Major time for a (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) after that one.

So with all that behind and some major projects ahead I decided to have some fun and put the interior back in.

All orginal carpets etc... not in great shape butwill do. Could use a good cleaning.

Seats in... pretty good shape. One small tear in the drivers side and one worn spot on the passengers side.

This was all for that weekend.

With last weekend being mothers day I only had one day to work, so I finished installing the interior trim, seals ect. Some of the seals are in pretty bad shape, they will need replaced.

No pics from last weekend.. batteries in the camera were dead.

Here she sits tonight.

This weekend is brake work, adjust shift rod and clutch and maybe take here for an illegal but very fun ride around the hood.

That my friend is a 1 on a scale of 10.

Use paino wire to cut old out (or in my case it just fell out).

Clean all surfaces of old butyl.

Get new 3/8" butyl window kit from FLAPS and install. Nothing more than that.
