day before thanksgiving 11/26/15

my 74 2.0 teener is silver. I love it.

2 weeks prior to taking off muffler i oiled it everyday so bolts/screws would not break.

took off muffler because it had been painted installed on vehicle a couple of times.
I took it off and sanded it, wire brush. patched it in a few places (especially around the seam and edges.)

it is an original. i wanted POR-15 high temp paint but.. settled for VHT paint in a spray can. it worked and looks awesome...

I also took off the rear bumper and bumper top because it was starting to rust and did not look beautiful. they are both being Powder coated. On my 356 I had my luggage rack and original ski rack powder coated chrome... and looks awesome.

so the bumper parts will be "black matte" and will look absolutely awesome.
(can you tell I am a Boston person)

when i get those back I intend on taking the front pieces in and then I will take pictures and share with the group

I just got my nails done for thanksgiving but my autos are more important.

enjoy your holidays.

Hey. I am new to this 914 thing but loving it so far. My son and I are working on a '74 1.8 that was stripped by the POs. Solid body. Driveable but needs lots of TLC. And a registration ...
Today we reinstalled the speedo drive with a new seal and o ring. Filled the transaxle with swepco 201. Got it back on the ground but no luck with starting. Funny because a few weeks ago it ran fine. It is getting cold in MA so maybe need to reconnect the e-choke??
All good fun.

Yeah, been there too. Just going to go with what I have, a friend will cut a mount from steel, and I'll have to get creative with some sheet-metal shears for the tins.

Nice wheels, Chris (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

Did you have to roll the rear fenders? ... looks like they fit pretty well, with no rubbing issues (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

On Thanksgiving day I ran the 914 over the hill to Santa Cruz with my kids. We sat 3 wide in the car stopping to see the butterflies at Natural Bridges, a stop at Steamers Lane, and down the wharf since parking was free.

Nope! But I bought them off a user on this site who sold them because they did not fit his Gia, so I was expecting to have to roll or mod the fenders . But they fit, even when I put on the bilstein HDs and adjustable coils which lowered the rear a bit, still no rubbing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Glad to see they worked out for you. The rears rubbed on my wife's '71 - go figure (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)

... and I didn't purchase the Ghia until a couple of hours after you bought the wheels (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) ... Oh well, worse things have happened in my life (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif)


I installed a new Bursch exhaust system on a 912 motor and set it aside to perform some prep work on the 'new' 2056 FAT motor.

I removed the '75 style head pipes, cleaned them up and hit them with 2000° BBQ paint. Then reinstalled them backwards to see how well they fit and figure out what needs to be fab'd up for a 911 banana muffler installation.

When I pulled the head pipes, I noticed there weren't any air deflectors under the cylinders, so it looks like I need to pull the heads (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) ... luckily, I have some spare deflectors that are already blasted and painted, sitting on the shelf.

I need to rethink how to mount this motor in a 912. The original method I planned on won't work with the minimal clearance between the case and the fan belt (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

If I can shim the crank pulley and move the 911 fan away from the case another 1/2" or so, my original plan will work. If not, I'll have to fab a cradle type mount, similar to the original 912E mount.

My roof was looking a little tired so I repainted it with Black Plasti-Dip. It came out looking great! The color is even and the texture is close to the sail panels.
I'd used Plasti-Dip on my Audi grill in the past and really like the stuff.

Pulled out the 75 1.8 to use as a cover from public sight for my expected delivery while I'm on some errands. Two boxes delivered: 1 box from amazon (new power tool) and 1 box from Dion-member here (floor mat with PORSCHE letter).
