Eek - sorry about that. I think the fixed passenger seat with adjustable foot rest was only used for the first couple of years so I don’t suppose your ‘76 had one anyway....
Still taking bits off ... £15 radio , rebuilt pedal assembly and new wheel bearings sorted ... all rear suspension off and being painted .
Great work! Love the radio and the pedal cluster looks fab. Let me know if you still want a look at the under tin.
No it was a £15 Facebook radio (Hamburg) The dealer could have fitted any radio you desired at point of order , so I just wanted something of the period that I could fit an Aux lead to ...
So steering shaft bearing has disintegrated. Steering lock didn’t work and the clamp on the column had been snapped off ... New bearings ...fixed the busted bit and there was s burr stopping the key barrel fully moving
So a few bits done . I’m not a rich man far from it so buying stuff has to be spread out and as much done on the cheap the better .... Rear brake callipers are refurbished with all new pistons and seals etc made new stainless pins etc Front I’m going 4pot wilwoods with 911 vented discs ,uprated MS . It’s had new stainless fuel lines front to back , All rear suspension is refurbed with new bushings and powdercoated . Been messing with the engine ( hopefully it will fit ) lamda sensor fitted to 914 exhaust ( slap bang where the support bracket goes ,so modded that ) Second carpet set ordered as I changed my mind from the perlon felt that I ordered ....more money Seat belts cleaned and new guide made from stainless Pics
Excellent job on the boomerang exhaust bracket - I assumed you were going to move the lambda sensor! And I see you’ve been at the milling machine again for the fuel pipe brackets, very nice!
Complete underneath has been stripped and painted . No rust found which is a minor miracle. All new shocks , springs , cables , brakes etc on rear
All new front end , ball joints , bushes etc etc and everything powdercoated . New bolts and new tank outlets in stainless
@mcswiggs A few pics as you asked .... complete new brakes inc all lines . Rear strut kit fitted . Stripping and paining the whole underneath inc wheel arches took an age ... did yours have the floor pan air deflectors fitted ??
Hat’s off to you, impressive stuff. Yes, mine’s got the black plastic deflectors underneath. Couple of questions.. What are you using to paint the underside with? Mine’s just dirty but otherwise in incredibly good OG nick so seems a shame to paint over, but will need some protection. My rear shocks are shagged, I see you’ve got some nice new Belsteins I think. Can you recommend a supplier?
I have used Raptor bed liner epoxy to paint the underneath .. you can get it tinted to L80E .. there was zero rust but the factory paint is so thin and these cars rust so easy that I’m going belt and braces I will wax oil the hell out of it as well .... rear shocks came from design911 and springs are 140lb 914rubber ones bought from autoatlanta... all ball joints and bushings were from design911 as well as genuine steering gaiters ...
suspension bushes were an absolute ass to fit as really really tight . Fit the shock towers and then make the custom hubs
