Today I painted the front valance and 914Rubber bumper top. Yesterday I installed new LED driving lights so it was the perfect time to freshen things while the bumper was off.

took it to a Porsche show in Brevard, NC, had a great time, was put within a section of other cool colored porsches from 911, 944,928 and 356’s. then met someone with access to a shop and lift and we replaced my defective starter. just another day in the life of a 914 owner (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

Yellow 1972 911T parked next to me is a real survivor—original paint and interior. Owned by son of original owner.

I still need to fix the passenger door handle (that darn dog is all thumbs).

Drove the 74 for the first time in weeks, maybe even a couple of months.
Been too busy lately, traveling for business and general life.
Had to jump start it but once it was going, took it around the valley here in Valley Center and just tootled along, loving every minute of it.

Drove it for a quick 20 miles yesterday, drained the oil, pulled the sump off and let it all drain overnight.

Had to work a little bit to get the sump cover off - it was sealed up really well - and did find a little sludge inside. First time I've had it off since I got it 4 years ago.

Today, put a @914werke tuna can on, pulled the oil temp sender and got it calibrated/aligned in some boiling water with my @jbell959 temp gauge and got everything buttoned back up and put a quart in to let it sit overnight. Hopefully it's sealed properly since it's been absolutely bone dry until now!

Ready to fill it up with Driven DT50 15w50 - switching from Valvoline VR1.

Getting the car road ready again after a 7 year slumber and finally got around to putting studs in the front bumper to speed and ease single handed removal and install.

My 72 the bumper hung out over the valance in the rear. Unlike the front. I always wanted to have it the same in back.

I also never liked the lincoln continental rear door look of the bumpers. The sides just hung out. So I tucked them in so they matched the body line and has a nice little reveal where they over lap the body on the side.

For Luftgekuhlt, I installed my double wrapped stock 914 wheel with my hockey-puck horn center piece. I figured people expect to see that on these cars. But once home, I reinstalled my 370mm Prototipo which was covered by Dallas Customs. It may seem like a thick rim, but it is just under 4" total. Same diameter as new performance-car steering wheels; it is a comfortable fit in my hands. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

drove it yesterday for the first time in 11 months. 80 miles to my destinatiin with no problems at all, except an intermittent squealing fan belt. 50 miles into the return and the left reat caliper started to bind on.

released some fluid slackened the pads off a bit and made it home.

Tonight i stripped that corner down in readiness to inspect the caliper internally. i'm also going to paint the brake disc shield.

Finished installing the transmission that I rebuilt over the winter. Hats off to Dr. Evil for his video and his help sorting out a first gear issue. I needed to remove the rear cover and adjust the slider a bit so that first gear would fully engage.

Buttoned up the oil change after seeing no leaks overnight. Completed the valve adjustment after managing to get the drivers valve cover wedged in a funny position and had to pry the bail off the end to release it. New gaskets with gaskacinch on the cover to gasket surfaces.

While underneath, noticed that my cooling flaps thermostat wire had moved itself off the roller so got that corrected.

Completed putting things back together with a really nice, new-to-me drivers side lower engine tin from Gerold Shaffer to replace mine that had an ear broken off.

Back from a 50 mile test run and all seems dry and well. Runs great and the Driven 15-50 gave a noticeable reduction in operating temp.

Greetings from Milan, IN.
