Work was closed today due to snow so I finally had some time to get my 914 running. I rebuilt the fuel distributor (CIS) and got it back together.

I was stoked so I took it for some victory laps in my field. Had a blast. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)




I love this pic!

My 14 X 20 pre-fabricated garage arrived today, so a buddy and I pushed it into it's new winter hibernation place - engine is out for a rebuild. Just in time before the blizzard hits us tomorrow. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)


That's pretty nice. What did it cost ya?

I need a 12 x 20 to fit between the back wall of my garage and the rear cinder block wall (for a workshop) ... that would free up two much needed spaces in the garage (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)


Thanks, I'm really happy with it. I had been planning on moving for a while to get more garage space, but I'm happy where I'm at and found this to be the best solution.

Price tag was $5,842, including tax. I did quite a few upgrades though as it will be my summer workshop. Insulated floor, vinyl siding to match the house, insulated man door and garage door, 30 yr architectural shingles, extra windows.

A bare bones T-111 12 X 20 from the same company will run about $3,800.

A ramp will be added in the Spring. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Just had to get it in there today - standard car ramps did the trick!

Very nice! And so much cheaper than moving!

Plumbing repairs all done. Finished moving stuff back into the garage today ... then stopped by the shop for a few hours this evening, where I laid hands on Porsche and VW parts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

I went for a top-off, Central Oregon, sunny 35 degree ride around town after I took off the door panel, cleaned up the roll-up-window mechanism, replaced the crank, and semi-fixed the broken door handle.

I needed to exercised the poor neglected 914 that has been garaged too much this month, after I drove from California to Oregon in 24 degree, snowy weather, when the window crank broke with the window half way down!

Sunny and warm Cali weather, or sunny and cold Oregon weather, either way it is a Top-Off day in the 914'er!

And people wonder "why are these cars always rusty?" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)
Kidding - almost nothing more fun than flat tracking in low traction conditions. I bet you were laughing out loud most of the time!

Corvette-powered prototypes and Corvettes are doing really well. The #911 and #912 Porsche 911s were doing really well yesterday but #911 had halfshaft issues over night. #912 is still the current class leader.

Baby got a new set of shoes. . . Magnesium is a bitch to paint if you want it to stick and to last. .
$200 for proper primer, and another $125 for paint. . that's just the materials. . Blasting the old factory paint and primer took 1 hour per rim. . I don't know what Porsche used but it's really hard stuff. .

Powder was not an option. . after lots of research, magnesium has large pores and makes bubbles in the paint when powder is baked. . plus if you every want to remove it you're up the creek.

Thanks. So, about $3,800 for a bare bones version. That's a great price. It comes all assembled, and you just shoved it over a graveled area?

Anyone know any sources in San Diego area for something similar? Every option I have looked at is significantly more.
