I so often have these gut wrenching moments. It's still satisfying doing the work though!

[kongsodoken]

Got loads done today......fitted new fuel lines and brake lines.....the new porsche pipe clips were tricky at first but once you realise that they need to break to be used then they are great



fitted the fuel tank

[kongsodoken]

even managed to fit the rear beam
and heat sheilds

[Hairyarse]

Wow loads of work done and it looks fantastic, you must be really pleased with it! This is going to be one nice car when it's finished. You'll have to be a bit OCD to keep it clean though

The result of spending Saturday with the T-Cut and wax:

[kongsodoken]

big weekend coming up going to try and get the rear wheels on.......
gear box mount looked like this



After cleaning...zinc plating...powdercoating new mounts etc
IT LOOKS LIKE THIS

[kongsodoken]

Trailing arms powdercoated and Pro9 fitted new bearings and bushes for me.....ready to go on tomorrow all being well

[DaveM]

Good luck with it all Ken. Looks like you're in for a busy weekend.

[Hairyarse]

Very nice work, as always!

Out of interest what are you plans for the car when you've finished as I'm sure it will be one of if not the cleanest, most sorted 944's on the planet! So will it be concourse garage queen or driven on a regular basis?

Cheers

My rear end lacks finesse, can you pop round and do some cleaning, plating and powdercoating please. Front now looks passable

Driven most days not really into concourse ....the reason for doing it was to change the bushes pipes bearings etc but it just nice to put clean parts back on

Nice your front is cleaner than mine, thats a job for next year when the engine comes out

[kongsodoken]

so today

Fitted new hand brake cable
fitted anti-roll bar
changed the drive shaft/oil cooler and selector seals on the gearbox
fitted the JMG shift mechanism

Then using the sissor jack from the boot and loads of blocks of wood I managed to install the gearbox.........quite tricky on your own when you don't have a tranmisson jack...and the gravel drive doesn't help matters but well pleased

[Hairyarse]

Very well done getting that in. And really pleased you'll be driving and enjoying it - a car really to be proud of!
