Installed the calipers...

I had installed the clip to the existing line thinking that the one that came with the brake kit attached to it... nope, that flexible line has to be remove as well...

And since nothing has been easy on this car... guess what? Yeah, the lines would not come loose... hard lines would simply not come out...

It took a lot of WD40, praying and cursing (Yin-Yang :) ) and in some cases, cutting tools to get them out...

But they came out in pieces at the end...

And also tightened the bolts to the suspension arms at the chasis end...

Well... turns out I did have a few cans of brake fluid... ATE Blue, Gold, and a Castrol SRF...

http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s...ps0mduxww9.jpg

I was able to do the brake bleeding and finish the brakes... installed the old wheels and tires for now...

Next, finish the wiring for the headlights, front turn signals, and horns...

Car looks beautiful.

Wachuko as an experienced builder good move to reverse the trailing arm bolts. Things are coming together nicely.

I could not find an answer when I was looking for what was the correct way to install them. So if there is anything I need to go back and change, please chime in.

I have done things so many times over and over due to my inexperience/mistakes, that I do not have an issue to go back and redo something if you see that it was done incorrectly.

I still need to torque the hub nut to specifications, that is why you do not see the cotter pin in place :)

No you did it correctly. If the trailing arm has to come off for any reason you only need to take the nut off and pull the bolt out on the brake side. The factory installs them with the nut on the brake side but than you can't pull the bolt out because of the transmission. Most people cut the head off and than pull from the brake side. Just a pain to do with the tran in. Keep up the good work.

This is looking really good. Love watching this build.

I have been busy with things related to my children. Baby steps working with the car is more than an understatement...

A few weeks ago (might be months now...time goes by so fast) I had to remove the driver side lock mechanism since it was broken. To do that, the window rails/frame had to come out. Anyway... all that was pending getting a replacement lock and the time to replace it.

I did find a lock mechanism, from eBay, from a 1995 993. Turns out that it works perfectly in the older cars. Sorry about the lack of photos, I had my hands full trying to align the rails, then the glass came off the base, then the base came off the sliders, then...:icon501: anyway... I was able to put it all back together. Now I have a fully functional door with locks and everything. :jumper:

But I can't test the door window mechanism because looking in the trunk, I have no negative battery cable! :soapbox:

But hey... door is working and no longer have to keep it in place with a cord.

Those are old bolts... I have new ones ready to replace those...

Progress?

Looking through this has me so motivated to finish my car! Love your work buddy! Looks damn good

Looking great , I hope everything is ok?

Sorry guys... still have the cars but life gets in the way... no progress so far... just need time to get back to working on it...

6 months update?

No truer statement, believe me I feel your pain! SmileWavy

just wanted to see what's up

Not much... started working again on the 1967 912... that way I will never finish any of the three projects... :rolleyes:

Between this nasty cold and the rain... not much done, but at least started working on it again.

Installed the new turn signal switch lever...

http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s...psnc9zwapm.jpg

Installed Rennline driver side floorboard...
Installed driver side door panel. I had this waiting until I had finished the internal door lock mechanism... well, the lock was installed about a year ago and I never installed the door panel until now. Humm, now I remember, I was waiting to install the door mirror...that is why it kept sitting uninstalled... Anyway, I decided to install it now and I can remove when the time comes to install the mirrors. I still need to find again the template for the location of the mirrors... scare to drill holes in the wrong location, yikes...

And for the life of me, I can't find the door lock plug... ordered one from our host...
