Like any old car, it is a work in progress. It has been very hot here and he has been driving the car to work. The oil temps were running around 220. He felt the line to the cooler and it was not warm. So he replaced the thermostat and now the temp stays are a steady 180.

Matt was feeling some play in the rear suspension and discovered that the bushings were shot. He has installed the Elephant poly bronze bushings.
He didn't like having it still say 914 2.0 on the rear. So he had four of these GT tags cut from stainless steel and then polished one of them.

Matt installed the sport muffler this evening. Sounds great at full throttle but a little boomy at moderate throttle.
He said the rear end feels much more planted now that he has replaced the bushings.

Just got word that Ed Scott passed away this morning. Sad day.
For those of you who don't know who Ed Scott is, reading the first post in this thread will tell you.

I realized I never had a chance to take photos of the bottom of the car since the engine was installed. I bought a set of heat shields for the exhaust system. Matt installed them. I was trying to keep some heat out of the trunk since we had the computer installed there.
