Had to hang around the shop from 10 to 3, waiting for a transport company to pick up a 2L engine that's going back to Baltimore. I forgot to take my compression tester with me, so I couldn't work on the 2.7L (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) ... so I hung out at a couple of the neighboring shops (Corvette repair, and a small body shop) to help the time go by.

Sorted through some 914 parts and gathered up some hardware for a re-gasket of the exhaust system on the Westy.

A real exciting day (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Yeah....it's going to be fun getting the front to rear balance set...
My A calipers were 3.5 inch...an easy bolt on...had to ream out the bolt holes just a scoch and used 8 inch long hard lines from the flaps... 2 washers under the ears to center them.....easy install...

After almost a year after she first arrived, now rustoration done and all cleaned up under and inside, she's off to the body shop for final prep & paint, now I have room in the garage for other work. Now to borrow an engine stand and tear into that thing to figure what I've got.
Removed beat up vinyl from door panels now first one with epoxy/fiberglass laid onto underside to flatten and reinforce the panel. It's handy to have some heavy slabs of countertop granite to weigh the panel down flat.

Put my Flares on and they look @$#&*# great !!
Really happy with the way the rockers line up too
but the 916 front and rear bumper are the worst my bodyman has seen
I cant believe how bad it is.
It is so badly lined up I would not use this to cling to if it was the only floating debris in a ship wreck Id rather drown.
The front and rear bumper came from Show cars in Canada and Im not sure where they come from only someplace in USA but if anybody knows where GOOD quality 916 bumper can be found let me know..Please
I only have body work to go then I'm driving after a 3 yr project

Accidentally gave it too much gas this morning turning onto Mission Blvd (5 lanes in one direction). Ended up needing two lanes since the front of the car was in one and the rear in the other lane. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Nothing like a little sideways at 6am... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

They did turn out well. Just used paint for wheels from the FLAPS. Pictures of can attached. I used a semi gloss clear over the paint. I also painted the openings black. Gives a cool look when moving.

Got some decals on, then stopped up the street while doing a test run around the block.

I have been on the lookout for a YOM (year of model) license plate to run on my 914 but wanted the number/letter combo to be somewhat relevant to my 914. I have seen one with the sequence PA-1974 but the guy wanted close to $100 for it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

So today at a VW show, I stopped by one of the vendors who had a crate full of tags. I asked if he had any Tennessee tags from 1974. "Let me look" was his reply and then he handed be this...

Yes, I bought it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
