Went to Oscar’s place picked up a nice part for my project and took a pic a line up of beautiful cars! Well lesser now since he sold 3 914s and got 1 914-6 conversion.

Oh shit, I thought Pat was calling me, Today I made up some panels to feed the air box fans. Trying to eliminate the possibility of air flow from the openings in the inner fender well. I would like to be able to see the fan horns so I will have to make the top in plexiglass. I really like working with the foam board. It's cheap and I don't mind scraping a piece. I love the CAD design element here! I've used so much cardboard aided design on my build due to inspiration like this...thanks! |

Dug through my parts stash to try to clear out /4 related stuff, just listed some super rare stuff, brakes, wheels, service manuals and a NOS dash that was literally gone in 2 minutes... Bittersweet to sell parts I'd worked so hard to find but good to know they're going to other 914world members, makes me happy, And its helping to clear some space up in the garage!

Didn't happen today it happened yesterday. My build thread went over 35,000 viewers. First of all it's posted in the Paddock, not in the main stream. Really amazing to me to see that much attention. Got some radical stuff coming up like Elephant Racing suspension with Nitrogen gas shocks. With these new mods she should go under 1,600 pounds as the springs will come out of the car
Pelican parts has the front TG3 suspension on sale for $3,750. The cross bar used to be about $9K all by itself. |

Took my first drive in it this weekend. First time ever driving a 914 as well. Pure fun! Took just over 5-1/2 years. It runs nice (thank you @jrust for selling me your old setup), shifts well, no issues with over heating. Under 190 degrees on coolant temp. Still needs better tires, tie rods, rear springs & shocks and more.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Starting to work getting back the motor into the chasis. Lets see what progress we get on the weekend. @CCE where did you get that cover. Guessing you had it made locally. I like it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) IIRC bought the same off of a local member, just can’t find the PM. I can dig up the box and perhaps has some markings on it that might help. |

Even better to hear it runs great after so long. It is a great setup & so much fine to drive. |

Completed my rear suspension refresh. Took the afternoon off and finished bolting on the axles, dust shroud brake disk and brakes. Tightened it all down and went for the first ride of the season. Sooooo sweet!
Next winter- front suspension. |

Working on a new to me 914, and while trying to trace down a parasitic battery drain, I went ahead and pulled the backpad to determine if something crazy had been done with the interior light wiring behind it.
In doing so, I moved the seats forward. When trying to move them back, they would only go back about half way. I also noticed they would slide off the front without pushing in on the tab on the seat rail. Upon looking at the bottom, I realized that one rail/slider on each seat was installed backwards. I flipped them, and good to go. Somewhere along the ownership line, someone had flipped the rail. Actually out of all the things a P.O. could do, this was one of the easier fixes. So far found way more good than bad. That said, I'm impressed....I have no idea how he got the seat to slide all the way back! Maybe he put the seat with rails on the bracket/base before he mounted the base??? |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) There was a tread last year concerning these. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...l=service+cover I bought one from Garold Shaffer quite a while ago. Apparently Garold's mom made them. Very nice product. Thanks, Mom. |

After owning the car for 12 years and it sitting idle for the last 7 I drove my car for the first time with a 2.0 back in its home. I got it to my shop and replaced the clutch cable, replaces the shift rod bushings and adjusted the valves and gave myself a hit list of items to get the car back to being a daily driver
