It was a PITA to get the car started as I let it sit too long and it's colder than usual out. I had to pull the air filters off so snapped this.

I will update my build thread soon - making progress on reconfiguring 914R to be more street-friendly / less cop-magnet. Last weekend I finished stripping the race graphics and worked on the pedalboard area (painful). Have some new streetable tires on order now and thinking about seats.

The hood is sitting high and I'm not sure how to improve that. It's a super light GT f/g lid with a replacement hood seal pushing it up too much. I need to check where I sourced the seal and determine if it's correct.

Mechanically it's running awesome and I love the Dansk I put on recently. The trans needs work however, TBD.



We always had that issue with glass 911 hoods. The glass bends at a constant radius unlike a steel hood that has more of a fixed bend.

Yep plus this lid is very flexible (balsa GT type) and the seal is literally pushing up on it hard. I don't really worry about it #becauseracecar. The bumpers are f/g too and never will align 100% perfectly or look factory up close, but I could get 'em a little better as well.

Installed the 914 LE replica air dam ( along with Oscar's excellent re-chromed bumper with a smaller opening) and went from this Grand Canyon sized opening;

Check out my 70 V8 build thread to see how I repurposed this old fairing to fit the V8 914. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

PCA, I would have to have a roll bar for the SCCA. I'm trying to watch my weight. I get 2 points for the none stock areo for valence. Who knows what they will have to say about the wing.

Backed it out of the barn where it spent the winter. Putting a new padded dash in tomorrow. Will try to get pix.

Nope! I'll definitely at least keep doing some time-trial events with it - I just want to be able to drive it on the street again for club/C&C events, and am changing a few things up a bit cosmetically. Resisting the urge to tear the entire car down and rebuild it from bare tub...must resist...

Took the '73 to a local C&C a friend puts on this AM, then went to another friend's garage for a tour. Lots of great cars, but this 100-4 ( a real 100M) was my favourite. Always had a thing for the 100-4 but good ones have priced themselves out of the "driver" catagory!!Attached Image Attached Image

Worked on the v-nose trailer. It's been 6 years since I bought it and just now getting around to converting it to multi-purpose usage. Not being relegated to only transporting PORSCHEs and motorcycles, but outfitting it for camping and a bug-out shelter should the need ever arise.

Almost finished with the kitchenette framing that I started yesterday ...

Today's accomplishment ...

Next on the list: wall treatment, build cabinet doors & drawers and the counter top, then installing all the required accessories (solar panels, charge controller, batteries, fridge (already in), microwave oven, stereo, DVD player, TV, water tanks, heater, A/C, shower/toilet, fold-out beds etc.).

The bed platforms that I installed earlier in the week (that are currently being utilized for temporary storage) and the shower stall will be removable, or fold up against the walls to allow the original purpose of the trailer to be maintained ... transporting PORSCHEs and motorcycles (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

More related to 914s ... also, took delivery of a new pair of 'late' front PMB calipers and new poly trailing arm bushings for 'HOWARD' (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
