More pictures of my cars and garage:
(The first two shots were taken before I did the work described in my project diary)
Lower angle shot
My 914 w/ my '98 M3 sedan. Note the slight color mismatch on my right rear quarter - due to a repaint 12 years ago that has faded differently.
Front 3/4 view. New Euro signal lenses and freshly painted rockers and valences
Front view. Cleaned-up grills look pretty good.
Side view.
Front trunk with new lid seal.
Interior shot - New Sony stereo is visible, with Infinity 4"x6" in the speaker boxes, and Boston Acoustics in the doors.
Another interior shot. Re-covered Scheel seats, 12" leather wrapped wheel. Brown vinyl on doors, dash, and back panel is visible.
Engine compartment, viewed from passenger side. Red hose is non-OEM fuel fume return from expansion chamber.
Engine compartment, view from driver's side.
I recently installed a new black domestic loop carpet set from Autos International.
Note the custom mats they made me in the same fabric, with a foam non-slip backing. The whole 10-piece kit plus custom mats was only $245, the fit was excellent and installation easy. I used the spray-on 3M adhesive with the adjustable nozzle. Yes, I see the wrinkles, I got them out after I saw this damn photo!
This is a view of a custom box that my father-in-law built for me to fit between the seats.
Side view I took at the same time as the two shots above.
Some photos from my 2006 engine rebuild at Stuttgart Southwest (Jack Doverspike). Stock cam, valves, Euro pistons, much attention to balancing, reliability, and cosmetics.
Reassembly underway. P/C's and heads on.
Bit further along. Powder-coated fan housing looks good. All sheet metal has been powder coated, any bits that were cracked or bent have either been welded up or replaced.
More shots coming as the work progresses.
