Ahhh... the body work stage, looks like fun!!!! I just got done with all my prep a few months ago and finally have time to shoot some base/topcoats this weekend! what color are you going to use?

Jonathan

BTW... your blast cabinet looks like a window into another world or somthing lol!

aartjan May 10th 2006 01:56

Well, I'm not doing the last body work myself, it's done by Kaag Kevers, a Dutch aircooled specialist. They are doing some real good work! :cool: Doing it myself would not give that good result in that short time :p

The color will be Capri Blue (L335):

Some progress on the 914 transmission.

Flipping the diff in steps:

Step 1: Remove oil from transmission.

Step 2: Remove nosecone.
http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fo...umbs/30834.jpg

Step 3: Remove shifter-fork.
http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fo...umbs/30835.jpg

Step 4: Remove intermediate with shafts/gears and shifting rods. The gasket sets clearance between R&P.

That's some slick paint! Great job!:agree:

aartjan January 8th 2007 15:02

On the 6th and 7th of January, last week, there was an big indoor event in the Netherlands, and I had the honour to show the first results of the restoration at the area of the company that did the painting. :cool:

So I had to make a first mockup, to get it rolling:

Thanks!

After a couple of months of having nothing done to the car, I started again on the project last weeks.

Routed a feed and retour fuelline (6mm) and completed the clutch cable connection and the throw-out bearing:

The shift mechanism has also beeen customised in order to work with the 914 transmission:

aartjan September 10th 2007 11:09

I placed some 10mm spacers at the front, in order to achieve factory scub-radius again. Scrub-radius also named kingpin-offset is responsible for the self-aligning of the steeringwheel and the feeling (of loosing traction) in your steeringwheel. Without the spacers the scrub-radius would be near zero/neutral, something you don't want with a Germanstyle car!

Some explaination: scrub-radius is 'A':

ride height
 
how much have you lowered the ride height.
cars is beutifull great work:)

aartjan February 10th 2008 12:57

Thanks! But I really don't know how much the car is lowered, because it's build with parts from several cars. So I haven't got a reference.

However, I noted that this thread isn't updated anymore, so here are some new pictures from (more than) a month ago.

LED turnsignals, behind the horngrills and 911 lenses:

914 gauges, painted and chromed (steeringwheel is temporary):

Ahnendorp Road Racing exhaust (little bit too large for the current 1600, but suitable for future plans):
