Drove the 914 for the first time at night yesterday. Need to adjust the headlights! Happy, all lights worked, even the little fresh air fan light came on.

Wife and I noticed it'd been 2 1/2 weeks since the 914 was driven. All I've had time to do is drive it just enough to keep it off a battery tender. Really hoping that changes next Spring/Summer.

I changed the name of my build thread. This is the third time I've done it. Hopefully I won't have to do it before I get run the car.
When the car is sorted behind the installation of the Arduino board all the electronics she is going to an Autocross

I rolled it into the garage at the new house. I have several things to get done in the next couple months. I have to get it prepped so it is ready for RSR 7 next September then I have to finish the engine rebuild on the 944 Cab so it is ready in time for RSR 7.

Had snapped off one of the seat adjustment handles when cleaning the car up for Luft8 (hadn't been washed in many months)...Of course the new ones look different from the old ones so you have to do both, 1st one took me like 45 minutes, the 2nd took like 10 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Still need to reseal my Lexan back window but didn't want to take that on right before Luft, with the cage stuff in there I'm not sure if monkeying that window out is going to be easy peasy or a hellish endeavor

Installed a new accelerator cable in preparation for the installation of new Tangerine Dual Carb linkage install....

You can see how easy it is to wrap one with the clutch cable ( I didn't leave it like that).....as well as how rust and grime builds up in the tunnel....


Attached Image

Luckily for me...someone has previously "modified" the pedal board for easier removal....


Attached Image


Speaking of rust.....while I had the seats and floormats removed, I couldn't resist peeling up some of the tar.....found some surface rust....but all in all...pretty damn solid.....removing all the tar.....project for another day(s).

Did some more plating this morning. Had to get a larger container and mix some more electrolyte since these were too long. Three strikes of zinc....

and the dichromate dip. This pic has some dark shadowing, but in light the iridescence is nice. Much better than the previous black paint.

@914Sixer Did you use gloss clear caliper paint? That is all I have been able to find.

Yes clear gloss but it really is not that shiny. Had to order it, none of the parts houses had it in stock.

Nothing to often
I try to do oil /valves once a year or 3k-5k

But I’m big on over maintenance Because of the race car

And that has paid off on road trips (knocking on head now)

Spent several hours moving stuff around at my shop like a big puzzle (not me but my Trusty assistance as my rotator cuff is totally ripped up and I cannot do anything with it for a long time) to get the 1974 with the 2170 RAT built eng. closer to the front so Eric and get it when my 6 comes home. Note that the rotissery is now carefully moved closer to the front door without scratching anything

Best to everybody,

Bob B

Took the 73 2.0 out and the seatbelt buzzer started up for no apparent reason, but the drive was great!

Worked on converting to Tangerine Cable Linkage....made a few mods, added phenolic spacers, but ultimately I'm gonna need to buy taller intake manifolds as I have clearance issues with the plugs.
