Added the new front seals from 914 Rubber under the front directionals. They sit like this and are tightened up snug. This is how they look:Attached Image

Getting this wheel ready to foam wrap, and then sew on leather….I'm going to run a hockey puck style horn button…. Oh, and I drove it all over the place because the weather here is in the eighties. Darn.

How do you add the foam to the wheel?

Wrapped the spare tire platform in felt carpet and installed a front sway bar. Steel fuel line arrived today so will look to install that this weekend and get her back on the road!

Looks nice, but I'm curious why you're storing your spare on top of the platform instead of down in the belly underneath?

A brake pad was dragging, making a loud humming sound. When you take a look at the piston, not hard to see why. They cleaned up very nicely, no more humming!

I think that's Mike's ford green color 914 that I saw last Sunday along 405 freeway in long beach.

Got some parts for the build and cleaned it up. Not bad for $30 ?

I tried to crank it... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

The starter went out, so I hadn't driven it in a few days. I fixed it yesterday ( 20% off online at advance auto) and had been driving the boss lady's truck, so I got dropped off by a coworke this afternoon. I needed to buy liquor, so I went to take the 914 and it was dead.

I should have ran it for longer yesterday, I remember thinking"fuck it" iit's fixed. I'll jump it off tomorrow.

I got one of those cheap trickle chargers and when I remember to hook it up, it always starts.

Don't waste $ on those cheap Harbor Freight wall-wart chargers. One of the best 'trickle' chargers on the market is the Battery Tender.
