My white car is back on the road and finally registered to me. It has a new clutch, TO bearing, PPlate, clutch cable, flywheel, cleaned the transmission, header pipes reinstalled and sealed, the car still has issues, but it drives and stops well. Surprising amount of power for an unknown engine and single progressive shitbox Weber.

A set of 40s are next, but the car is coming along.

I did a bunch of small stuff to the car, every time you buy one of these things you learn something new about 914s.

After being inspired by some awesome race cars and concours cars in Monterey, I came home and installed some decals on my car. My beautiful helper, Kathy, made the process pretty quick. I better treat her right as I don't know too many wives that would do this.

I passed through PHX twice (visiting some friends in Buckeye) this past w/e ... I would have stopped by to say hi if I knew where you lived.

Shoot me a PM ... I'll be going through PHX again (back to CA) at the end of this month ...

I drove it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) It's the first time I've driven the car since it went up on jackstands last December (did a bunch of long-deferred maintenance and repairs).

I really want to thank JoeD for the relay board -- it was the last thing I needed to get the car running properly again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

I decided to powder-coat my beat up fuchs that had like 4 layers of paint in various colors.

I like the dark wheels look myself.

Really the best part is a fresh set of sticky 200 tread-wear rubber to have fun in the hills with!

Have been doing a few things to my car, replaced a warped trunk board and recovered the front bulkhead with new liner, the board was upgraded to a 3/8 from 1/4 plywood, also made the tool for the trunk rollers and replaced them, easy peasy.

Yea, 15x7 with 195/50/15. This car is lowered almost as low as it can go, so that is why the 50 profile tire.

Did a mountain run this morning and the new rubber keeps the sport bikes far beind me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I'm getting the car to an electrical guru next week to be fixed.

So, I decided to tackle the sail panels for something to do. I bought Mark's excellent door end caps (later style) and window scrapers, and vertical window/targa seals so I could do all of this in one shot. The targa vinyl is also from him.

This isn't as hard as I thought it might be, maybe on a concours car it would be a bit more nerve wracking. I just went for it.
