You're supposed to have one of them cheesey black ones on a 914. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Hummm......I may have offended some one with a cheesey black cooler. It don't count as I'm in shock from trying to chop my finger off.......I'll be back to my normal inoffensive self in a day or 2.

alright, time to start a conversion thread. i picked up the engine a month ago and started with the prepping of the tub today.

didn't get too much stuff done, oh well, babysteps ...

the ToDo-List (striked-out items are done!):
============================================
i'm going to overhaul the suspension, mount a front oil cooler with fan(s), fix a few spots on the tub the PO had hacked together, add racing seats and 5-point harness, install the 944 axles, the 911 eBrake, the new trailing arms, add a rear sway bar, Mueller roller bearings, new 250lbs springs on adjustable perches, fix the front sway bar, install new rear window, fix the gastank (correctly this time), replace the plastic fuel lines, get a trick porsche motorsports setup for my oiltank, add a vent to the front hood, redo the rear spoiler (ducktail), 100mm wheel studs all around, throw in the 3.6L motor and when all that is done, i'm going to give her a one of a kind paintjob!

oh, and i'm still playing with the idea to have her put on a celette bench to make sure she's straight ...
============================================

ETA: soon enough to run a full season for 2006 2007 !!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)


got some more stuff done this weekend ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

/4 motor mounts are cut out, so are the brackets for the relay board and mps and some other little schtuff ...
PO's holes and cut-outs have been fixed and re-welded. front oil-cooler shroud and support is done. oil lines are in.

but most importantly, she's got a new motor! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

we made a "custom" 993 motor lift so we could balance the motor on a floorjack. worked great!

those will be available in the "914 Resources, Parts and Products" section shortly. $499 plus shipping. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

the motor will have to come out one more time, but next we're going to hook up all the oil-lines, engine harness, fuel pump etc. get it all good to go, then drop the engine one more time to clean up and respray the engine bay, clean up the motor and tranny and that should be the end of it ...

can't wait to drive her ...

Are these 993 engine lifts going to come with a coupon for a lap dance?

Great job guys! Sorry I missed the fun.
