Thank you

Still a few details to attend to for example, hood pins... for the life of me I can't remember where I put them... so got to get a new set. Need to find a rubber trim for between rear bumper and body. Need to drill the hole for the cigarette lighter (for phone charger). Need to completely detail the engine, clean the oil lines (those were painted and I want them back to their original, unpainted, color).

And after the work that I started doing on the 912... man... I have this itch to just redo ALL the hardware, brake calipers, torsion bars, etc.

No kidding. We've both got that "CRAP, I should have done this to the last one" syndrome going on.

Looking great!

Wachuko

Jaime, just a quick safety note if I may... Don't stick one of your finger in one of the holes on the Prototipo when you are traveling above 80 miles per hour. I'm guessing sticking two fingers from opposite hands in the holes at the same time is also ill-advised, but I have not tried that one myself so have no first hand knowledge.

Wachuko

I always try to be careful of where I stick my fingers...

Wachuko

OK... Stuff done and pending items:

Done:

Got a decent key chain for it



Made a cover for the drain housing since the car will not have A/C...





Installed the hose on the drain...



Mandatory photo with younger sibling...



Pending:

Hood and engine lid shocks
Hood pins (yeah, never found them)
Make plugs/covers for all the holes from the A/C in the firewall. To avoid gases from trunk area to get inside the cabin.
Install vent hose for gas tank
Instead of installing the cigarette lighter plug, I was thinking of just getting an USB charge port and install that... all I need is a place to charge my phone. USB port will be less visible.
Clean/Detail engine
remove side oil lines to clean and remove crushed area via the blow until it pops out method...( Fixed my Crushed Oil line for $5 and a beer. )
Install the front lower spoiler
Fix fitment of passenger side headlight
Fix drive side low beam not coming on (only the passenger side lights up or both if on high-beam)
Lower the back a bit??

its all cherry on the icing at this point... congrats Jaime, she's a beauty!

Amber Gramps

Need to add lowering back end to your list.

Wachuko

Or raising the red one?

Amber Gramps

No, Red car looks perfect. The RSR needs to drop at least 3/4" if not an entire tic of the spline. Come on....it takes like 10 minutes.

We need all the info on the mods to the ducting and what looks like a blower delete.

I've deleted footwell blowers, engine heat blower, and gutted the core but not the fan from the smugler's box.

What I want is heat at the feet and window, but outside air to the dash. Walk me through what you did.

Wachuko

It does not take "just 10 minutes"... you know better than that... you are looking at:

1. Lifting the car
2. Removing wheels
3. Removing brakes
4. Removing ALL suspension (shocks, arms, plate, etc.)
5. Removing oil lines
6. Cleaning everything well
7. Sending out all parts to yellow-zinc plating and those that need powder coating (wait 2-3 weeks just for the zinc plating alone... powdercoating is just a day or two wait)
8. While in there I will be forced to drop the engine and transmission to detail...
9. Repair oil lines
10. Since the oil lines are out... might as well order the front oil cooler that goes in that area in the middle of the front bumper...
11. Since I am dealing with the front bumper and oil lines and cooler... front wheels have to come out...
12. Front wheels out, that means, get the brakes and all front suspension out and also do the powder coating and yellow-zinc plating to those parts...

"only 10 minutes" yeah right!!!

Amber Gramps

You typed all that in less than 9 minutes. You could have been almost done by now.
