Busy day at MiddleMotors.

Matt and Mark stopped by the talk parts. I'm going to work on the dimensions for the replacement frunk seal channel strips this week. Hopefully get the pieces made before folks winter projects start. After we get the straight stock up and going I'll work on the arced front piece. Then the lower front piece.

We had a visitor from Belgium, Jan and his wife. They're touring the West Coast for a couple weeks hitting 914 related shops. Jan is restoring a factory 6 at home, but is in the market for a 914 daily driver. He's an air cooled guy, his daily driver is a T2 VW bus. We discussed he might need my services for pick up and transport to a shipping dock. Plus some restoration work if needed.

Mike Godly (Warpig) was here letting me know that he'd just bought another 914 and wants to do a side shifter swap ..............

Primary project for the day was helping/coaching Taylor on a rear caliper /pads swap on his Jetta.

Needless to say I didn't get much welding done on Doug's car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I found a good use for the half dozen wheel studs that got mixed up in the batch of yellow zinc. Plugs for the transmission vent when the gear boxes get stood up or ran thru the jet washer.

Here's another Super In Law creation. He cut out a thicker and larger table for our small JET band saw. Nice. Front edge has a slight bend so it will drop into the frame for sawing.

Plus my hardware kit from AA showed yesterday. It will be the beginning of my hardware bin and storage system that I'll work on this winter.

Wednesday Chris (Tygaboy) drove up from N.California to drop off his stash of unneeded parts. Here is Chris's addition to my parts stash. There are 2 seat cores seating on the chest you can't see.

Plus a box of assorted brake tools.

While Chris and went out to grab a bite to eat, Jack aka Super In Law finished splitting the first pile of firewood.

Tool Whore Episode ...........

I haven't been a big proponent of pressure bleeders. I could never get the rock hard pedal that I like. So I always did it old school, two person bleeding. But for the first time in my my life I was flushing and refilling a brake system and I couldn't get it to pressurize. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) I've never bench bleed master cylinders. Install, fill and bleed. Never had an issue. Probably master cylinder 15 installs ............... 20-30 system flushes.

So I drug out my 20+ year old Motive. Had to replace hose first. Filled the brake fluid reservoir. Started the empty 10# system test. Pumped it up, let it sit. Nothing. Then finally I see a stream hit the floor. We couldn't get it to leak by pumping. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)
I wasn't going to let this 2000# hunk of steel beat me........ there's always an answer.

Order up a few new brake lines and we'll be back in business. Call to Eric tomorrow.

Update on Super In Laws health. He's been in for a few additional tests in the past couple months. The tests found an enlarging aneurysm on his aorta. To close to his kidney for a stint. So he'll be having old fashioned open heart surgery next month. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

His grand kids are freaking out ....................
He's taking it in stride. They didn't give him any restrictions prior to the surgery.

I'll keep you guys updated ..........................

Today's the day. Heading to the hospital in a little bit. Super In Laws (Jack) open heart surgery starts at 9am. 3 to 5 hours. Going in below the sternum, so no power tools.
