It stopped running after a 2-hour drive home from Porsche to Ohio. At least it got me to about 5 miles from home. Towed it to the shop (Autobahn Garage in Findlay OH). Turns out it was the coil that failed. Should have a new one in tomorrow.

Drove it for the second test run after it's resto. Ran out of gas but didn't care. Attached Image
She's looking good and almost running perfect.

Finally back home after two weeks in Vegas working. Took the 914 out to run my son to the auto parts store. Fired right up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) I figured the battery would be weak if not dead.

Then, at the parts store... wouldn't crank (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Usual issue so bump start and off we go.

Those look very nice! I've used the Flared Ends off aftermarket Rocker Panels & Bonded them to Original Metal Pieces. But those look killer

Thanks TC, it wasn't all that difficult after I made the front and rear patterns.

I drove my car more highway miles today than ever! About 45 minutes one way.
To the Miles Davis movie set, where my car was an extra...pretty cool.

Today I put on a new passenger side turn signal lens (thanks Rhodyguy, perfect!).

Then, clay-barred the entire car, head to toe and waxed it with carnauba paste wax.

Then, went for a drive along the beach.

Put on your sunglasses and behold! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Drove (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) the car up to Artist Point last evening. Local Club Outing, that I instigate. Invited Nate along also (aircooledtechguy). Love that drive.

Drove to work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Third time this week as the DC summer has been kind and gentle this year. I got to work early and found my normal spot at the far end of the parking lot. Later this morning I was amused by who decided to be "friendly" with me:

I'm not sure they know the real reason I park there: in case my starter doesn't want to work I can simply drift straight down the little hill its on for an easy bump start. Maybe they are there for the same reason I am (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
