late arms are in and the track is much better...


still have to figure out right axles (thought i had it figured out). figure out what i am going to do about the lower shock mount and the e-brake end.

got my last oil fitting and will be locktiting all this week.

engine is wired save two terminal blocks i need to add (thanks nigel!).

throttle cable is shortened and secured.

still have to put the header back on and exhaust (and paint both first) and cut and install sealing tin.

inside wiring is cleaned up.

new/used front beam is painted and in. front brake conversion (951 w/911 rotors) was done until the last bolt going in, which was a caliper bolt), pulled the threads out of the spindle. so have to fix that then the front will be done.

left fender is on and headlight/park/turn wired. thought i knew what the parking lamp wire was...wrong.

seems my gauges only light in the parking light position and not headlight position. hmmm.

less than two week left to get this bad boy running and broken in.

lol. you have more sayings than any other southern i know. even over my wife's family!

don't go killing yourself falling asleep at the wheel. the irony would be too much. i hate that you are having to deal with several dead cars at once. at least one is on the road. figures it is the bug and not the modern car.

nigel was up this weekend help sorting out some wiring. that was a huge help. i will be doing the lack of sleep thing for the next two weeks. figure i will sleep it out the week after the show.

Gee, I think the new definition of german look will be drivers looking half asleep. I'll be doing the late thing myself. Found two holes in the front pan of the 912-6 the size of my fist that were filled with fiberglass resin. Won't take it on the track like that, so now I'm gonna have to replace the front pan on the car. I got 8 weeks till my first track weekend, all my saturdays are booked for the next month, and I still haven't broken the motor in yet.
