Did a 2 day white vinegar bath on my brake rotors to clean off the rust. Looking way better now.

Do those studs just screw in from the back of the rotor? Where did you get the stud kit?

Today was a 40 + mile drive to Queen Valley from Scotttsdale / Way out there in the desert. Way out there...... Open range skeet shooting with my electric clay pigeon flinger and 12 gauge Citori O/U. Unbelievable territory and most likely the first time a 914 has been in this part of the planet.

Video attached...... if i can figure out how to do that......... two tries / nope... locked up my iPhone / help needed to upload a vid from iphone to 'world please.

I'm hanging out in Buckeye through Friday, 11/24, going to see a friend's band (CCR cover band [Fortunate Son']) play at Casino Arizona in Scottsdale Friday night, then heading up to Payson after the show.

There's a shooting range a little N/W of Buckeye too ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) ... might try so squeeze in a visit there before the end of the week (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

New seals installed, door latches installed, drivers door shimmed to correct sag presumed to be left over from an accident in a prior life as there isn’t any rust that would cause that.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.thesamba.com-17371-1511291973.1.jpg)

New stop seal installed . Didn’t really respond to a mallet, though my index finger really did. Channel locks worked well to,compress the steel teeth.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.thesamba.com-17371-1511291975.2.jpg)


Rocker panels installed.
[indent](IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.thesamba.com-17371-1511291976.3.jpg)

Hood seal and headlight covers will come after I replace the fresh air blower, gas tank and other sundry u Dee the hood things.

I have some nice, [expensive], custom 'captain' seats that my wife bought for my '75 Chevy van (30+ years ago) that have sat in the loft all that time. Even though they're in great unused condition, I doubt I'd get much $ for them ... converting them to garage guest seating sounds like a great idea (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I scored a set of early chrome bumpers yesterday. The chrome is excellent on the rear "square corner" bumper, the front bumper, not so much. A strange anomaly is that on the front bumper, in middle area where the squarish holes usually are, they are not stamped out. They look like they came from the factory this way and never were punched out. These weren't welded up, either. I can knock them out if I want, I suppose.

Has anybody seen this before?

Weird.

Here's the rear bumper. It's not perfect, but it is laser straight. Pretty good for a 48 year old part. Both rubber tops are amazing too.

I'd get a rear like that just to have- nice find. Have the original bumpers on both my 914's, for some reason I like the early rear bumper design better. Not sure why they bothered to change it...

Looks great. What size tires are you running on the 2.0Fuchs?

Getting ready to build the box, I think I can get all that in there without letting the smoke out.

Wish I could find a set of bumpers that nice around here.
