Morning All. Easter gave some time to shuffle along with the Project Blue Book build. All about the details now. First off Angus, Sam and the chaps at 'Greatworth Classics' have been moving at some considerable pace with the build. https://i.postimg.cc/ht49Y43f/CVIV0503.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/c1Mt...

Very good point. I’m hoping that the aluminium plate being 6mm with quite a bit of air gap behind will suffice.
Thank you for the ‘Heads up’ though. I’ll keep it in mind.

Thank you evero much fellas. I really appreciate the comments! I have been busy in the garage with lots of things going on at the same time. But to get up to date, let's carry on with the Stereo install. I have to say it's a work in progress and by no means finished. There has been a lot to learn. h...

Managed to get a bit of time in the garage. I thought I would try to finish up the washer system and last bit of the brown paper/ foil tubing. The original sytem hooked up the the spare tyre to get pressure to spit the water at the windscreen. So that wouldn't do. I managed to get a proper Porsche p...

Many thanks all for the positive comments. I really do appreciate them all. Just to finish off the Oils breather bit. https://i.postimg.cc/vB872kYm/IMG-4298.jpg I fitted everything up and with the silver bracket it just kept drawing the eye to the coil pack which is supposed to be hidden. On looking...

Just finished off another task. https://i.postimg.cc/RC6JC4DB/IMG-4280.jpg Seat belt anchors were looking a bit worse for wear. So time to have a look at getting them a bit neater. https://i.postimg.cc/2jsbVMsB/IMG-4302.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/2Sm1xv8k/IMG-4304.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/R0ZqkBH2/IM...

And were are back.... So oil can needed to be orange (not silver). https://i.postimg.cc/y8z1Hzwv/IMG-4264.jpg Painted then flatted and clear coated. https://i.postimg.cc/SRMhBZdB/IMG-4268.jpg This is going to be the first thing you see when the engine lid is popped, so has to be just right. https://...

Been quite busy in the workshop this last few days. Some time ago I posted up some images of a lovely 356 oil cannister that I had decided to repurpose into my oil vent and catch tank. Well it was on the back burner with all the other bits and bobs going on. I thought it was well time to finish this...

Well engine and gearbox is over with Angus and the lads at Greatworth Classics. They have stripped both down for inspection and blasted and plated a lot of the components already. https://i.postimg.cc/kXgNvkjY/2023-12-11-15-08-45.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/fWKjXwv0/2023-12-11-15-08-50.jpg https://i.po...

Firstly, sorry for being away for a while. There was good reason. however, thank you for all you encouraging comments. They really are appreciated and give me energy to carry on. Some interesting work has gone on with Project Blue Book just now. But where to start.... We left it with cleaning the ge...

Firstly Merry Christmas to one and all! I have been busy with the little Fourteen of late but not go around to updating this thread, so apologies for that... We left it with the 50 year old Targa top sort of painted with the Raptor Bed liner. After leaving it for a goodly while to realy harden off i...

So time to attack the Targa Top. This is fiberglass and painted in a textured black paint from the factory. After fifty years it all looking a bit tired. https://i.postimg.cc/9QBf4Qm0/IMG-3392.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/hPTvB0N9/IMG-3393.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/xqrw5MRQ/IMG-3394.jpg https://i.postimg...

Nope, just found one with the very rare factory bracket (now for sale if anyone wants it).
There will be a lot of stuff on this car that isn’t needed
