Some Progress

Was able to get some stuff done. Mainly wiring for my Instrument cluster. My Daughter helped me.

I am making plans to use a 12V Electric AC compressor in my swap. I ended up having to move my Steering rack and it is now in the way of where I was going to run the Alternator, so that will be moved to the other side of the engine. I will post pictures when I begin setting up the Air conditioning.

12 Volt Electric AC

Received my 12 Volt AC compressor system today. I will be doing some mock ups a little later on. But may test it on another 944 that I own.





Pretty neat little set up. I am stoked to try it out.

Vally pan

Made up my vally pan so I can run AN fittings and lines for my AOS system.

Sorry I have not posted anything. Really have had no time to work on my 924. Still looking for a home of our own right now. I do plan on doing some work in her next Saturday long as I am not working. If so I will update then. Have a good weekend folks

Finally!

Good news for those who have been following this! We finally got our own home and I can once again start on my swap after nearly a year of not being able to do anything heavy. If all goes well should have an update this month on progress.

Congratulations Golten951! Making progress in life is surely more important than progress on a project car, but it's great to see you are going to be back on track to focus on this awesome build! I know it's been a long time coming and I'll be looking forward to see your updates in the near future!

Hi Matt.

Thank you very much, we have been out of a home for 16 months so that was rough.
I am getting everything prepped to get my 924 to our house this month and begin again!

Progress!

Finally made some progress on 1 part of my 924 4.2L swap. Basic construction of oil pan! Next will be welding and setting up Baffles, drain plug and Dip stick.





Will upload Progress pictures of the build as I can. Been pretty busy with work and getting my Wife 944 AC done.
