even the, um, bag seems a little too big for your nuts.

keep your chin up - you're young, maybe they'll grow.


Guess I should be spending less time with my car and this progress thread, and more time with the girls, huh?

As for the pictures, I had to add them, Jrust really helped me out and he demanded I add them, can't say no.

Well, some girls yes. But some can actually make them smaller. Govern yourself accordingly.

oh, and your nuts aside, keep it going - this build is looking killer!

Well, now that the rear suspension issue is to be solved by tonight, the next order of business is the front suspension, of course, I have to wait for the torsion bar adjusters that should be here tomorrow.

Already have the tires for all four out of my Dad's infinite stash. I'm thinking 6's and 7's?

After that, the new cables go in, as well as the new bushing for the Side-shift.

Got a package in today from The Cap'n. Torsion bar adjusters for a 6. Also, going to be putting on a bump steer kit....

A while ago, I also picked up some new bolts that bolt in the headlights. They are black and treated and just look better overall.

Today I made great progress. I installed the front suspension completely. It was completely aligned, and set really well. I also was able to find a place to get my brake rotors turned.

However (there's always a however) the steering column didnt go though the hole that leads to the inside of the cabin, so I had to take the whole front susp. off (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) This completely discouraged me.

Oh well, start again tomorrow on the trim. Also, I have to wait for the steering bushing to arrive from Pelican Parts. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

You can see here where I scratched the undercoating while putting in the front suspension (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

(IMG:http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b6/Emar06/IMG_0437.jpg)



Rubber liner for the engine bay, scratched the holding part a little bit, but I'm not as concerned, this is under the car and is going to get really dirty/scuffed/dented anyway....

Dug these old things out of storage 16 x 7's all around.....

Don't know if I posted this yet, but these are the brakes I'll be using on the front. I already have the whole setup including rotors, struts, upgraded Master Cyl, etc.


I'm thinking red?

Yes! I found the steering wheel bearing! Front Suspension going on in 4 hours!

For now, it's soaking in penetrating lubricant, and I'll re-grease it before it goes in.

Also, called Pelican and had to order new wheel bearing clamp nuts for the 914/6 fronts that I have.... $180 bucks for those, hub to rotor screws, caliper rebuild kits, and 2 thrust washers..... Gay

I'll be working on bearings alot right now, I think there will be a short section in here on how to properly load/grease bearings, as I have make a mistake in trying to do this before.

Should I do this and if so, should I make it here or a separate thread?

Again, I might or might not take pictures, because I want to get this done AND still have it for the this summer, now that I'm 21.

Looks like you're working late tonight billy, because my Suspension is on!

To sum it up, I have a 914/6 front end. In the last week of hunting parts, I've learned that this is basically a 911 front end, as I have Bilstein struts with Carrera A Calipers and rotors, and the Torsion bars and adjusters are that of a type 911. Also learned that I NEED a steering wheel bearing and that torsion adjusters of a pre 69 911 will not work on this setup..... wish I knoew that before buying them on eBay.

Pics.....


Steering boot with bearing. Before I put the bearing in, cleaned it with penetrating lubricant, and re-greased it. Also, before you lock it in there, be sure to put a little grease on the half moon bracket. Cuts down on squeeking....

The suspension, look good?
