Well so far I've installed an inline fuse and under dash cutoff switch to my fuel pump, I've got a battery cutoff switch to install, then hook up the axles, change the oil and take it for a (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Can't wait to see how this motor runs, and if it's going to make it to Moab.

My car was dirty so I decided to run through the automatic car wash... I got washed and waxed through the top side seals pretty well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I'm almost tempted to do the same - the 'BB' is really dirty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Fabricated and installed brackets for the rear sway bar.
Welding over head is such a pain in the neck - literally.

Thanks to Jim Hoyland's rapid shipping, I got my dash project done a day or two early.

Defrost vents filled and dash recovered. Fresh air controls filled on dash face. Now I just need a windshield....

That dash top looks sweet! How do I go about finding one for my car? I'm on the other side of town in Northern Peoria and would like to do this mod while my windshield is out as well. Would like to know more about this option.
Best Regards,
Cesar

Well, it wasn't today actually. It was last weekend. A friend was visiting from Colorado and we took the 914 down to Cars and Coffee in Tigard (tie-gurd), Oregon. It was a pretty good turnout. Lots of other Porsches, mostly of 911 ilk. A single mid-60's 912, and one other 914. It had a slant nose kit, wide fenders, wing, etc. Several of the steroid style late model 911 versions. I don't know what they call them anymore. Nine-Ninety somethings I am sure. There were four Volvo P1800's. More than I have seen in a single place in a long, long time.

Matt Hardigree was apparently there. He is a writer for Jalopnik.com and posted photos of quite a few cars. But not mine. Bastard. It rained after we had been there for forty-five minutes or so and many of the garage queens beat feet for home and soft buffing towels. Good show all around. Matt's photos can be found here:

Went through the carbs today, started from scratch, reset the dwell and timing, set the carbs to basic settings then synced them and adj the mixture till the popping went away.

Finally got it very drivable, went on a few short drives.
Driving to McMarks in the morning to let him fine tune it then should be good to go. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
Felt good to drive my car again, been a few months.
