Painted the engine mount bar and front valance ...

... and sprayed tan vinyl fabric paint on the center console armrest/box components. 'Someone' poked 2 holes in the arm cushion at some point in the past. Rather than fill them, I inserted all-thread nuts and will attempt to construct some sort of cup-holder assembly on top.

that is always a magic moment too me. when you put the juice to a car that hasnt run in years and years. its like your bringing it back to life. i found a 58 european model beetle behind an old german womans house. it had 40k kilometers on it. hadnt run in 40 years. its cool seeing everything coming back to life.

Went through all the wiring connections; with contact cleaner, female connections, shrink wrap, and anti-corrosion battery spray. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) i think this is a fantastic practice for our cars. every time i unplug a connector i put a dab of loctite dielectric grease on it before i plug it in... sure save a lot of headaches. and it makes the electrical devices work better. its a win win.

Nothing on I my 914 today but drove 400 miles with a haul car hauler to go see inspect and maybe buy a 74 914, but 20 miles from my exit I stopped to get gas, and pulling off the freeway my '07 navigator just quit running. It either the fuel pump or brain.
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)

But I will be doin (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) g a P.P.I. tomorrow, and if all checks out I might be brining home another 914!!!
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
But I was not planning on driving it home -with but we will see.

Good thing for AAA, and 100 mile towing.! Also the dealership and mechanic is 1open mile from the hotel and 2 miles from the car.
Any other 914 guys in Chattanooga, Tn?

Well the other day I changed the oil and put in new plugs etc., and early this am started off on my trip to Portland OR. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) I am currently sitting in a hotel room with a cocktail in Woodland CA (north of Sac) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) and mentally flipping off my friends that thought it was a bad idea to load up my clothes in my 37 year old sports car and go to the great rainy ass north at the start of February ( with the top off no less). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) Tomorrow in the am going to Shasta and points north. So far so good.

I replaced my exhaust and getting her prepped for the Big cup wheels to go on and started refinishing the top off my 73 so I can get rig of the top with a cheesy sunroof.
Some progress.... Still much to go before spring

Went to Cars and Coffee with my dad. It was nice to see him, and talk about just stuff at breakfast afterwards.

Then took the top off this afternoon and cruised Mission in Pomona and grabbed some tacos. Good day I'd say
