I ran across some errant parts whilst trying to reorganize the CA garage, and it made me think about getting back to the hydraulic clutch conversion on the 'BB' (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
I'm selling a set of ATS wheels (one of them is on the L/R and the other in in the front trunk of the 'BB'), so I'll be physically touching parts of the car this coming week - maybe I'll get enthusiastically involved "while I'm in there" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif) |

I finally cleaned-up the damage from a side-swipe incident on the track some time ago, which thankfully turned out to mostly be tire rubber and trashed decals. It looks way better! I'll rattle can touch-up the fender arch as I don't want to get the whole side re-sprayed now.
Then I drove it around a bit... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/c4.staticflickr.com-21-1473131326.1.jpg)914R by Chris Campbell, on Flickr |

QUOTE(rangrbob @ Aug 24 2016, 05:19 PM) Today I added one more final detail to my 71 restoration. A while back, I had the guys at Car-Bone make me a octane decal, and it finally got here. :) Turned out pretty good. I even tried to put it in the same location of the original, then noticed an error (the 1200 should be 1700) and will ask them to fix their file, so I can send for a new one. Do the Car-Bone guys make the drivers-side jamb-decal (black, with the VIN number)? The DAPO trashed the original! |

Reinstalled my front Valance that needed quite a few fiberglass patches. Turned out just okay but good enough for now. I used a bed liner product to give it a little texture. Looked okay so used it on a spare top. Didn't prep it good enough but it will be fine for Red Rocks this week

I was going to paint the car before applying this, but it's been a couple of years since I bought the negative side vinyl from 914rubber...
I totally forgot about it until my wife was about to trash it so there it is-->  |

A week or so ago, my lovely wife gave me a 65th birthday present of a one year membership to the UrbanWorkshop in OC.
This State of the Art 100,000 SF campus allows unfettered and ap reserved access to one or more of 7 auto lifts, a full machine shop with tubing benders, bead rollers, all form of metal saws, metal lathes, CnC milling machines, all hand tools, cabinets of machinist tools and measuring devices and holders, a full Mig/Tig welding shop with all gear needed (Miller helmets, gloves, sleves, etc.) and a full wood working shop. This, in addition to a commercial sewing shop, a fiberglass and carbon fiber fab shop, and 3D printers and computers to drive your projects to fruition. AND. On top of that TrueSpeed racing occupies 8K SF of space in the 100K..... there are GT race shop people all over the place... i will send pictures of them loading the GT cars into the semi's.... I went to the workshop and fabricated my front oil cooler intake plenum, cut out the front tub to accept the same, and fabricated the shroud complete with nut-rivets to use 8M fasteners. Last week, I cut and fabricated the bumper and valance to conform to the necessary opening to feed the oil cooler. I will post pictures soon. It is really nice to work on the 914 at a height of 4 feet above the ground...... |

Good luck with your project! |

picked up my freshly re-profiled and hardened cams for my 6 build.... then had all pertinent journals, bushings, etc. measured for tolerance. All good to go and withing spec for standard new bearings all around.
I also had the rods measured for all dimensions including bearing seat roundness, weight at both ends, total weight (all within .5grams of each other) and small end bushing conditions. 5 Bushings on the small were within spec but one was close to a no-go. They all will be replaced. All else is good to go. Hopefully the speed of the outflow of cash will eventually be in competition with the speed of my 914. Sidebar: I would highly recommend not buying a 914 after casually selling one's 98 993..... The comparative swings in handling and power lead to the shoveling boatloads of cash into a 914 to attempt to regain some semblance of acceleration and driving enjoyment..

And by the way: Lonewolf... the owner of this shop/concept is considering a SF location. Because i am an old gy taking on a rebuild of a 911 engine, we became pals instantly / so if I get news of this happenign, i will update.
As an out of work golf course development planner, I am looking for a new project. I may be an investor or part of the site acquisition team. More to follow. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

After dinner snuck out and did a quick Racer Chris shifter adjustment. Springs on the R-1 were barely functioning. Bungy cord was in the door pocket with the tire gauge and a couple Tom Petty CD's. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Then took the daughter for a test drive on my favorite dipsy doodle. All is good and ready for dinner and beers with the Pelican folks tomorrow night after work |
