Yep, the buyer lives outside Sacramento. Hope to see it around!
But now I have no more distractions from my LS build. I'm claiming that's the silver lining.

Woo hoo ... FedEx notification: Looks like my 'new' ATS Classics will be delivered on the 24th (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif)



... Install new tires on them and I can have my other (dirty/flaking paint) set (currently on the car) 'reconditioned', and ready to put on Dianne's car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)


(IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) I am soooooo jealous. Had those on my earlier 914. Should never have sold it. Looks extremely good on a white painted car. Attached Image

OK, so I removed the driver's side door panel ... found a semi-circular piece of 'whitish' plastic laying at the bottom of the door. Next, I removed the exterior handle and almost immediately determined where that broken piece came from. Spent an hour looking through boxes in the parts shed, but didn't find the new door handle repair parts I purchased from Mark a couple of years ago (they're probably in the garage in AZ) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

In any event, I also sprayed some PB onto the latch mechanism, so that's working nice and free now.

Why did the door handle parts have to break a couple days after I received a bunch of other 914Rubber stuff (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Placing an order for the parts as soon as I finish up this post.


One good thing though, I found a bunch of other shit nice parts that I can place in the classifieds (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)



EDIT: Order completed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I continued to work with my new tuning Guru Keith914 to get the tune right on the carbs / we are THAT close...... decent idle, decent range of rpm but dizzy curve seems to be holding back the kind of power experienced when tuned with higher advance but crapy idle / everything is connected..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif)

Random pix for Mark so he doesn't wail on me too much (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) :

Two of which: A gal in Laguna just sold me a 133 mile 1990 250 NX timecapsule for 300 bucks / sitting in her garage wrapped in plastic tarps and WD-40 since 1990 when she dumped it on her driveway when brand new, broke the turn signal units and covered it for 27 years in her garage........ it runs fine.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)

Good enough Mark? (See you in AZ soon)

Wow, that NX was a steal. You taking it to AZ?

I have a '66 Honda 160 Scrambler in the AZ. I brought the carbs out here and still need to rebuild them before I get back out there.

As if there wasn't already enough on my plate, with the cabin access (door handle) issue popping up, it just added more time to the 'delay list'.

I removed the driver's side door panel and exterior handle, then cleaned and lubed the latch and interior handle mechanisms. Will be moving to the passenger side later today - or tomorrow .... and continue waiting for the new door handle cams to arrive (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

Last night, as I was searching for the cams I had previously purchased (which proved fruitless), I ran across a large box with some really nice un-cut door panels that I had purchased from Chris (Tbone425) about a year ago. The panels came with all the trimmings and everything's in stunning shape (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) ... I had to go back to see what Chris sold these to me for, and was pleasantly reminded that they were only $110. shipped (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

I also have to mention that Chris did an awesome job of packing everything too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)

Attached Image


I just finished wiping a little bit of dust off of them and will be installing them after fixing the door handle thing. The old panels did the job, but left a lot to be desired in the looks department (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)

Attached Image

I'm not going to spray the 'new' panels with the Duplicolor tan fabric paint like I did to the old panels ... black will work just fine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

However, I did decide to repaint the center armrest since it was out of the car ...

OK, some more rework required (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I was able to correct the accelerator cable problem, or at least I thought so. Untangled it in the tunnel, installed the ball-cup fitting on the end, put some grease in the cup and attached it to the bell crank. Cut an access notch in the forward tunnel access plate, installed a rubber grommet and routed the new extra power cable into the gauge console area ... installed the plate and the foot pedal board, and started to install a new 914 rubber accelerator pedal.

Attached Image


I was finally starting to smell some success, but as I was attempting to snap the ball cup fitting on the pedal rod onto the ball on the other side of the bell crank, I heard a little thud sound ... which was the fitting on the end of accelerator cable - hitting the tunnel floor (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) ... Apparently, I didn't fully seat it.

Attached Image


I have to remove the pedal board and access plate to grab the fuchin' cable again. I know it doesn't seem like a big chore, and it really isn't (in my mind) - just frustrating, because my back is already twisted up from working in the confined space from the prior couple of days ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)


... need to employ a young neighborhood 'apprentice' one of these days (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)




EDIT: Task completed ... now onto other items on the TO-DO list ...

Removed the throttle body to send off for a rebuild. The butterfly plate had ovaled out the body. Installed new hard brake lines in the front and bled the system.
