The engine is running much cooler without the mouse nests on the cylinders. I had tuned the carb to a nice brown color on the plugs but with the cooler temps, they are all covered in soot. I guessed as much as the exhaust smell became much more gassy. Backed off on the jetting and will test when the rains stops and roads are dry.

For now it is a heatgun and plastic razor. The suspension is covered so it will need to come off to address, and then the wheel wells.

The car has just over 40k miles, so trying to keep her original but ensuring that it will last another 50 years (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Cut the down pipe in half that PO welded to the heating air supply that was welded to the heat exchangers….
Finally able to drop the alternator, replace with a new one along with new harness from Restoration Design.
Replacing cheese heads slowly with M6 as well as I go.

Need to source a new down pipe and heat supply.

Trying to do 1 thing a week amongst all the other usual time killers.

I heard the harbor freight vibrating multi tool works well on the interior, probably would work here too? There is a post on pelican about using it.

Is this an L95K example?

I would like to remove the undercoating, but cannot see myself with hand tools (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Our other car is Palma and we removed the undercoating the same way but then had it painted so it was well protected and looks good in the air (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

- heat gun, plastic razor, and some adhesive remover (goo gone)… not really tools, more like crafting (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

nice work, I am going to try and tackle that this summer, while its too hot to drive my car, that and then repaint/ recoat. I was thinking primer then a textured colored coating of some kind like lizard skin or similar.

Brought the bahia red '73 home from my off site shop for a local C&C tomorrow morning in north Scottsdale- Scuderia Southwest. Red, white,and blue cars for the 4th.
Will most likely be the only 914 there...


(don't drive them much here in the heat of the summer! Early morning is obviously the best)

Adjusted the headlight covers. Finally figured how to remove the knob on the odometer cable under the dash so I could put it back in the speedometer. Installed 3 small washers behind the Momo horn ring so the turn signals cancel. All is good.

Just arrived home from a trip to Canada where I picked up a pile of parts from Restoration Design! Great folks! Special thanks to Peter, who showed me around, Dave who picked and packed my order, and Noah who handled the paperwork!
