Okay so here is my teaser! I've always wanted a 914-6. I finally took the plunge & bought one. Most of you are probably thinking it is a v6 or some crazy thing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) . You've got a week to just sit there & wonder

I managed to get some work done today. Started by making room in the shop for my cars. That took about 2 hours as it was a mess from my move. Just threw alot in there as I was pressed for time.
Next I brought in the black 75 that has the nice 5-lug setup on it. Got it up on the lift & pulled the complete suspension front & back. Yes it is on 4 jackstands that are sitting on harbor freight dollies. I would never crawl under it like it is. It is solid but space is tight & I needed to push it over to make room for the blue 914. Plus it made it easier to slide my scissor lift out from under it. Added a few pics of the reason the black car is a Donor (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) Next the Blue car went up on the lift. Pulls the rear suspension. Managed to screw up one shock int he trunk. Couldn't break that nut free & made the mistake of using vise grips on the very top to hold it in place (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) . Oh well they were well used shocks anyway. Ended up cutting the sucker off. Got the rear trailing arms on & realized I didn't have new CV joint Gaskets. So I've got a couple things to get order from Pelican. Overall a solid day but I am tired & called it quits. Absolutely great to spend a day working on my car. Been months since I have done any wrenching (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Attached thumbnail(s) |
