I decided I didnt like the look of the basic plastic sheathing that originally came on the car so I updated it with this newer type that coiles and comes off and on easier.

Had to go with a bigger size in the tunnel....

It was not fun to get that oold plastic off as it's really hard and thick....

Also, the accel./clutch/brake cables are coming out and gettting replaced with all new ones....

Some pics from this last week.

Big thanks to my Dad for helping me with the wiring.

BTW, I'm replacing ALL the wiring sheathing.

And as you may know, Football season started again, so of course, a Plasma went up in the new shop. Joe took full advantage of it.

Lastly, we decided to go with conectors for the horn and fog lights.

Found a pump for the windshield wipers

(IMG:http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b6/Emar06/9e04c89e.jpg)


I'll be using the three small VDO gauges (Volts, Clock, Head temp) in my new center divider. I like this one I found (minus the wood and switches) which I'll probably replace with black gelcoat.

New headlamps. Although these wont do, becfause they don't fit. H4's instead.

We 'transported' the 76' to the new shop...

Also, we picked up a 75 that had a Ferrari Dino body kit on it (bought it for the molds, it will become a simulator) and I pulled the 1.8 out of it. Need a 1.8? Check in the classifieds or PM me...

Your project is coming along nicely. With all that work I guess you did not have time to start on the T-Bird yet?

I did a very small amount of work on the Thunder Chicken.

Took off all the trim and got rid of the mold/rust underneath.
Rebuilt the carb.
Got the trunk open and resprayed inside (where my Grandfather left fertilizer).
Got all the lights working.

To me, the tbird is secondary. I want to get the 914 done so I can drive and finish it. THe Bird is going to need alot of love, probably in the form of media blasting. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

I think I have a pic or two off hand from the show I took it to. It was so nice, they put me in the display area! Sweeet! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon_bump.gif)



Anyway, heat exchangers. Grabbed them from the other shop yesterday evening when I took my cousin to her citizenship class. They where pretty shotty to begin with....




(IMG:http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b6/Emar06/IMG_0476.jpg)
(IMG:http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b6/Emar06/IMG_0478.jpg)



Threw them in the sandblaster, but the rust was really tough, I was worried for a second, and also, the blaster was kinda loosing power, so I had to grind about half of each....

(IMG:http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b6/Emar06/IMG_0481.jpg)


Turns out they weren't bad at all, thank God! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Painted them with high temp, and I think they look pretty good, no?

Thanks man! And thanks for commenting, it really is motivation when I get input from others, because this is my first build.

Today, after I got the Magnaflow, I ran out to San Marcos to VW Paradise and grabbed a little bling for the engine as well as some stuff to help me assemble the Heat Exchangers this weekend. By this weekend, I plan to have the exhaust and engine done together, as well as carbs on the car....

Had a rather large shopping list this weekend that got larger when I went to Paradise VW... "Oh! I'll need that!.... and that.... and that.... Oh! This is on sale!?"

$427 bucks later......

Heat exchanger assembly..... Much easier instead of doing it vertically.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i16.photobucket.com-9478-1294851180.1.jpg)

Also, engine is complete with trans. We tried starting it, but the starter is worn. No worries, I have 2 more though....

Very exciting! Git some air cleaners on there. What's the break-in plan?
