Looks like rust!

Good news is that that is where the belt runs for the alt. . So it will be gone in 10 mins of the engine run in.

is that rust on the fan!


The one piece that I didn't paint or powder coat (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

I did spend way too much time cleaning all the grime off of the fan....


The weld area looks good! -thanks for taking care of that for me.

I'll be in the garage all day Saturday and Sunday. If you have some free time come on down. Don't miss work for it though -do that the weekend of the FFC (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

If I get the flywheel and pressure plate back this week, I should have a running enigine in the car on Sunday!!! Man... that thought just gave me a wierd sensation - a mixed feeling of finally she's gonna run!!!, can I really hit that date?, and oh shit what if it doesn't work.

Still alot of other things to complete in order to get the car roadworthy. If I can find enough time and make good progress this week and the weekend, I could be driving the car by the end of next week! WOW!!!

Well...I didn't hit the 10/10 date. But without setting aggressive target date I wouldn't have gotten near as much done. New target date is 10/17. The engine and tranny are going in this weekend!!

I have been making good progress and things are going together pretty well. Having a bunch of fun and learning alot! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

A few pics-

It took a couple of attempts at installing the doors to find an easy enough method to get them installed. I ended up taking off the limiting strap that I had initially installed on the door during assembly. The strap just got in the way when trying to line up the hinges to the hinge plates. It was much easier to align the doors with the limiting strap removed.

Also, I found that it was very difficult at first trying to get a hinge bolt started in the hing plate in the front door jamb. The hinge plates float in the jamb to allow for proper door adjustment. What I finally came up with was to insert studs in 2 of the 3 hinge bolt holes in each of the hinge plates. Then the door with hinges already attached could be held in position, the hinges and plates being aligned by the 2 studs in each hinge. This allowed for the first bolt to be started easily. Then i removed one stud at a time and replaced it with a hinge bolt. this worked well.

Here is a pic of 2 studs in each hinge plate. I wrapped the threads on the studs with a thin wrap of tape to avoid scraping off the paint as the hinges slid over the studs.

WOW. Your car is nice... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif) Amazing. Oh, and, just curious as to why the fuel pump was put in the engine bay, no relocation? Or did you not have fuel pump problems ? Or IS it relocated.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif)

Rear trunk lid installed. Pass door installed - it is challenging installing and adjusting everything on a door!

looks good (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

Is that fuel pump bolted directly to the firewall, or is it on some rubber backing?

what kind of tires did you put on the fuchs?

The fuel pump is mounted on rubber blocks that have studs coming out of both sides. One side mounts to the Facet pump, the other side mounts to an aluminum bracket that I made from flat stock. The aluminum bracket is fastened to the firewall.

I had a 72 914 (the one that got me hooked) that i drove around for 4 years with the fuel pump in this location. Never had a problem with it in this location so i decided to put it there on this car. On the 72 the fuel pump was mounted directly to the firewall. It was a little bit loud, but it was kind of nice to hear it and know that it was working. I would like for the rubber blocks to take out some of the noise, but i still want to hear it.

I like the original wheels better than the shiny ones.

But that's just me.

Everything else is right on!
