Where did you get the sail-panel vinyl and the interior vinyl to make the peices from? |

Doug,
Is that a "57" Corvette I see in the background on those pics? I might be wrong on the year, but what a BEAUTIFUL CAR!!!!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) Can I have it? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |

olav - I got the sail panel vinyl from GPR. The vinyl material for the interior trim pieces came from JoAnn Fabrics. It is a marine grade material. The grain pattern is an exact match, or at least extremely close, to the original material that was used.
I think that it was only 6.99/yd. I bought one yard and had about 1/4 of it left over. bmunday - You are right, it is a 57 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) No, you cannot have it (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) |

We have the same air dam except your rubber half fits over the bottom edge of the fiberglass. Where did you purchase the air dam? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

The air dam was on my 72 when I bought it, so I don't know where it was originally purchased. I bought the 72 in Indianapolis and the PO bought several items from Tweeks when they were located in Indy. Very likely that he bought it from Tweeks. |

Started retrofitting my engine to a 914 set up.
I bought an engine a little more than a year ago. It's a 2056 that was originally set up for a Manx kit car. The original owner gave up on the project and sold the components. The engine was built by Jake in 01. It has zero miles on it since. I am hoping to put a few thousand on it this year (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) before winter arrives. Unfortunately, I had to remove the DTM (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) . Not the right DTM set-up for a 914. After getting a little familiar with the DTM product, I am very impressed with the quality of the DTM, the engineering effort that is obvious in its design and construction, and the meticulous attention to detail on the installation! Here's the engine as I purchased it. Attached image(s)

Damn Doug......got you on a technicality! You could probably show up with the car on a trailer, and the rest in the bed of a truck, and still win half of the awards (except farthest distance travelled to the event (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) ) |

Here's what it looks like now.
I am planning on getting the 914 engine tin and accessories installed this weekend. And installing the doors, the front hood, carpet, .... A long way to go to get it running 10/10. Not much of a possibility of driving it 10/10. But, I think that I have a shot at having it ready 10/10 to take it for allignment that week and then just maybe being able to drive it home (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mueba.gif) Attached image(s)

She'll be running and I'll be smiling (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) I won one award last year. I won't be repeating that performance - "Dirtiest Engine Bay" -LOL
I had 5 alternator harnesses to choose from. The one that I am using was by far the best looking one of the bunch! It does have some heat marks on sheathing but compared to the other harnesses, this one looks great. |

It took a tremendous amount of time to get the engine back into 914 form! Fitting the engine tin so that the cheesehead screws can be installed is much more difficult than I ever imagined. This could be due to the set being powder coated and it being a set that was made up from pices from several different cars. It took some do overs on the sequence to install the pieces, a lot of pushing and pulling but I eventually got it all together!
I still have a couple of things to do but it is pretty close to ready to install. I plan to change out the bolt on valve covers and go back to stock. And I am waiting to get my flywheel and pressure plate back from machining -resurfacing and balancing. I've got a good shot at getting the engine and tranny installed next weekend -Any body want to help??? Attached image(s)

So far I like the powder coating look. But still curious to see how well it holds up over time.

Last pic for now. I really wish that I had more progress pics to show, but I spent so much time on the engine this weekend that I didn't get much of anything else done on the car. Gotta figure out how to get back on schedule! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

If I were anywhere close Doug, I'd run over there to help work on that car. Won't be long now! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) |
