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)


Actually I see this as THEM trying to be cool and accepted.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

I see all these posts about the potential rot behind the rocker covers and I've been afraid to take mine off.

Well, while holding my breath, I took them off this evening.

Guess I'm OK....5 lbs of dirt, but everything looks solid on both sides (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Finally got my wipers working again. I tried the 924 switch mod (CIP1) and that was a catostrophe. Rebuilt my stock switch. Easier than I thought, but now I have a highbeam out and my flashers stopped working.
Life of a 914. Fix one thing, two more things go wrong. Biggest piece of shit I've ever owned. Can't wait for the day I get rid of it.
If I knew then what I know now, I would have just bought a tub and started from that. Most if not ALL the work I've had to do is crap from my PO. Should have bought local so I could have known all the issues up front. Buying from afar is a for sure lies and deciet.
Think I'll let my car rot in the garage for a few weeks and go do something productive with my life.
Venting done.

What? you deleted your helper pic? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif)

When I saw the 1st pic, I thought "wow, that was nice of her to purchase the carpet" ...


... but then, she installed it too? WooHoo (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)



I made a quick pit stop into the shop on Friday to grab up a pair of 5-lug rear rotors that will be going to New Joisy.

I'll be at the shop again Saturday afternoon, but there's some infrastructure work to do there - so not much car work will get done, if any at all (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Stop on by if you're in the hood

Started to add up all that I had spent! Then became afraid. Very afraid! Decided to drive instead.

Ok I added it back. I wasn't too sure if she would be happy with me posting a picture of her. She was a big help as I am just too big to get way under there. Note the steering wheel was pulled off to make it easier.

Well if she is unhappy, just let her know that there are a lot of guys that would love it if they had someone to share their car interest with. Besides you know she is all in if she will work under the dash like that!

According to the officer, going really fast on a public freeway is *not* OK.
Who would have thought?

Got off with a warning, since i'm such a nice guy ...

Finished up the front sway bar install. It really is not that difficult, and the tutorial on PP makes no sense as far as getting the bar into the bushings. Pushing it thru after installing the outer flange? Please, no measure of lube (even combined with some sweet talkin') is gonna make this easy. Simply place the new bushings on the bar (they come split already) now in its position, and using some previously procured bolts of the same thread, but an inch longer, tighten the outer flange up against the wheel well. The bushing will work right in. Then remove the longer bolts and use the originals.

Tomorrow, gonna start the rear...

put it back on jack stands and started sanding the door jams. One step closer to primer.
