(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Yeah, thanks Clay. I've got some ideas that involve springs to keep that bad boy stuck in the pipe (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I might try to machine an extra one too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Installed a hitch to tow my 914 trailer with my v8 conversion. It hides behind the license plate when not in use. Copied Mike's install to a point. It feel good & solid & is beffed up a little more underneath. I'm going to give it a try. Luckily my 914 trailer can't weigh much more than 600lbs.

front floors are in. Not 100% done. Still need to clean up some welds, install the pedal support piece, seat reinforcements, seam seal, prime, undercoat, paint, etc., but the floors are in!

New $25 Walmart car cover showed up today. I unpackaged it and installed it.

Thinking about a nap now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yellowsleep[1].gif)

Got new Kumho's on the front on Wed, rears go on as soon as we can find some roller wheels for Jonathan's 914. Getting the front end alignment and headlights aligned next Tues. Working today on making an adapter for the seat rails, to mount the Monaco seat. I feel like I'm all thumbs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Waiting for the drill battery to charge up now.

Drove it to breakfast with some PCA folks. Stopped at Parts Heaven - they wanted $100/side for 944 seat belts. At that price, I'll give it a little more thought and risk getting nabbed with just the lap belt that's there now.

Then when I was finally getting around the working on the car, the floor jack starts dumping fluid everywhere. Great, I really wanted to shop for a new floor jack... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Helps to see other cars coming in from media blasting, getting new floor pans, and firing up for the first time in a while, though. Thanks!

Went to a PCA breakfast drive in with my wife and saw two other 914's. I was able to park next to one. Usually PCA events aren't as welcoming to our breed; especially the non-original modified type like myself but alot of compliments were received. I think that in general people are starting to appreciate our unique cars.

People were amazed that three 914's came out of the woodwork. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Just installed new targa to window seals from the Mike Schantz collection. Very easy once some silicone fluid was drizzled into the rubber channel...

I drove the 74 to Sonoma to Original Customs, picked up some oil cooler parts, and more parts for my new microsquirt FI system that's going on my new motor.
Guess it's time to start that build thread.

Jasco stripped + elbow grease + sand paper + sander + primer = smooth (somewhat) targa top. I might need to add some gel in spots. Anyone have tips for that?

Did a scenic drive on Grizzly Peak Blvd. and Skyline Blvd., 35 miles of twisty, bumpy roads full of tourists in mini vans.

Washed car this morning and was ready to head out to the annual Porsche car show, car started but rough idle never smoothed out drove around the block with many misfires and backfires, got back in the driveway popped the engine lid the idle got slower and the car slowly died never got it restarted didn't drive it to the show and will have to problem solve it this week. what i do know, Fuel pump runs and is reading about 100psi on the gauge, hooked up a timing light, the light fires but inconsistent. pushing down on the cis metering plate makes a hissing sound like air, it should make the injectors sing.
I dont think it has anything to do with washing the car i think it is circumstantial. I have a few things in mind to check and hope i can get it back on the road very soon.

Added shelves to the bottom of the 'new' workbench and the blast cabinet dolly. A little more reorganization allowed me to move them into the back yard car port. Mrs. euro really appreciated this (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)

Also installed some overhead lights, allowing us to work at night (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
