Nothing. But, Friday we did cut a parts car in half and sent it off to the scrap yard. Then Saturday we disassembled the 1.7 engine from my '72 at Black Forest Racing to get it ready to be rebuilt.

I checked a few 'to-do' things off of my list: All lights work, but the horn(s) don't and the fogs never got hooked up. Oh, I need to fix the gas gauge wiring by the sender. Why were they cut in such a shi**y place? I need to catch up financially, and move forward. Dang, these cars are expensive for such cheap cars. My girl actually went to dinner in the 914 with me. She likes it, but she is more of an Aston-Martin girl. Car is running very well, finally. Dumb luck?

Still not a 914 owner...however I was busy in the shop making parts to help fund the purchase of my next 914...made a few Hall Sensor adapter brackets for the Volvo guys that are ditching the Bosch LH2.4 and running Megasquirt...

Spent the better part of the day chasing this RUF around the back roads of San Diego. I had no chance up hill and in the straights but my little 914 held its own through the really twisty bits! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i187.photobucket.com-14487-1417416713.1.jpg)

Had a great drive with the SD region PCA today, I have not been able to really drive the car hard through some really curvy roads, and I must say I was shocked on how well the car handled! I thought I would have been lost in the dust or holding people up, but once it really got curvy and winding around the canyons, holy Sh*t do these cars perform! I flogged the motor and rest of the car pretty good this weekend and did not have any issues, so we will see if any thing pops up after the beating. I was a huge fan and loved the car before, but after today it's at a whole new level.

That must have been a blast....how much time was spent with the windows down so you could hear the symphony of exhaust sounds? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Looked at it a couple times while walking through the garage and said to myself "on jack stands you want, on jack stands you shall stay."

Nice looking car there Steve...I'll have to go back and read your thread about when I get some time.

then changed the oil, pumped up the tires, filled the tank, and put it away.

Oh, and cleaned the bug guts off it (yeah, bugs were out today too).

That looks really nice, Andy. Playing the Devil's Advocate, it appears that 50% of that area is now obscured. Does it still cool well?

Hey Andy, that front bumper and valance look great with the oil cooler setup. Are the bumper and valance metal or fiberglass? What type oil cooler are you using? I've been trying to decide whether to mount an oil cooler in the front like yours or putting it in the rear above the transaxle with a thermostatically controlled electric fan. I'm considering the front because my car came equipped with an aftermarket A/C so I already have a big hole in the front trunk floor and hose routing from that A/C unit. Have you posted any pics on inside the trunk?

No noticable change in temps but next summer will tell. I don't think I'll have an issue with oil temps, I made a few runs out to Slits in 90+ and it never past 180deg.

The front and rear bumpers are glass and from Getty design with a Setrab cooler from Patrick motorsports. No need for fans up front and lots of pictures in my build thread.

Drove my 75 1.8FI to church workday in Long Beach this morning. Nice cool weather. Got back home in the evening already. I took a few shots after no vehicles around me, I was driving on the Fastest lane and running around 75 mph following the traffic flow.
