I thought I'd get to go out and do a photo shoot while I was home this last week but virtually every time I went to take a ride in the car, it started to sprinkle. I haven't had the top on in a year or so, so I didn't want to break my topless streak... So the only time I took a ride was around the block. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Anyway, I wanted to show off the freshly painted lids for you guys.

Do you like? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Nice! Time for a photo shoot. The car has come a long way since the rock incident. I think it kind of started a rock slide... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Not quite time for a photo shoot. I still need to finish the interior. I've got the backpad kit, and I need enough time to put it together. (Or Mark Whitesell to spend Thanksgiving with us again) I'm not happy with the black loop carpet so that will go in favor of some grey Perlon. I called GTS Classics about some Nurburgring seats and e talked me into something else! The biggest thing though is that damned targa bar trim piece? Come on 914Rubber? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

We're going to do some more engine work, but after the interior - she's done! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)

Thanks for the kind words though! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

I had a Boxster 15 years ago. Sold it and bought the Bumblebee Racer. Both gone now. Thinking about a Cayman R but Yopu is thinking about a Cayenne GTS. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

I had an idea but for some reason, I can't find a picture of it. I've searched Armando's site and I know that most GT's didn't feature these but I'd love to have an option since I have two good sets of door handles. Does anyone know a source for a picture of drilled door handles? My idea is to drill a set and then have Ogden Chrome rechrome them. It's just an option like the RSR wheels and full polish street wheels I have for the car now...

This looks great. I'm slowly heading towards flares with my car, it's silver too. Can it start getting quite pricey once you factor in the cost of the flares, paint, wheels, rocker panels... (did I miss anything?).

Just... engine, ECU, transmission, axles, brakes, master cyl, pedals, chassis reinforcement, shocks, springs, struts, torsion bars, bushings, carpet, seats, rubber, hardware.

My car has most of that stuff already (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif). I just want the extra rubber for AX, so flares, and all the stuff that goes with them, are on the to do list.

The Max Moritz GT had them. Or at least, it did in the mid-2000s.

The handles were blacked-out and drilled.

I drove my car to the range the other day. Every day I'm home I shoot at least 100 rounds. When I got done, I went outside and found this. 1972 Jensen SV. 440 6 Pack. It was a little rough but it ran well. A little Outback Rocket!

So there's a big Zone 7 PCA weekend in Reno and I decided to enter the 914 in he Concours. I am at work in Berkeley so I had to ask my daughters boyfriend to clean it up and detail it...

He calls me all grossed out and says he found a rat in the engine compartment. He looked for chewed up wires but nada...

We decided to name the little guy Da Spoodster since he reminds me so much of a car I saw a picture of... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
