Replaced my air deflectors with new ones from 914Rubber.com

My other one was really trashed. Hope to have cooler running engine this summer. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Made a prototype GT engine lid cover. To protect engine compartment from water while sitting. Made from vinyl from Hobby Lobby with 5 flat rare earth magnets from Home Depot.

* I switched out my GT grill for the winter....

Had to replace the alternator on the 3.0 with the motor in situ. 3 hours bent over removing carbs, linkage, fuel lines, shroud, and belt. Then found out had the wrong size replacement since the old one has a built in voltage regulator. Used the opportunity to clean the shroud, air horn and misc bits. Not looking forward to putting it back together again.

Installed M8 Time-Serts into the heads on my 1.8 for the exhaust studs, I had 2 broken studs per head when I got the motor and decided to replace all with brand new studs and inserts. Still need to find new inserts.

Been a while since I've had a reason to post (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Got most of the wiring behind the dash squared away and the stereo working. Switching gauge clusters turned into a huge uncooperative mess. But hey, it's more like factory with 3 dials instead of 4.

Great job Chris, looks like a professional install.

Yep, or at least my best attempt at copying their design. I had to make a few small modifications to get it to work for me. Here's some information from when I built it.

Thank you! I agree, it's a big mental step forward if nothing else.

Well after getting Mike's engine plumbing all refreshed we had no spray out the fuel injectors. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) 34 lbs of fuel pressure. We'll tweak that down a bit.
We'd talk about pinning out the harness before we left Saturday night.
After sleeping on it I told Mike that I thought pinning out the harness was bad money. The harness was 46 years old and we need to change it. Especially because you want to drive it everyday. By chance Matt had a new Bowlsby harness in his on site parts stash. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) So out with the old, in with the new.
After the R & R she fired right up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) That's where we left it and headed home.

I'm almost certain I won't do another plumbing refresh without a new harness. They're just to old and brittle.

I fitted the refurbished original radio (but haven't wired it in yet) ,i also fitted the polished surrounds for the radio and the fresh air controls.

The aux power socket is now wired up too. The horns are on and working.

Need to figure out the air switch wiring and find a decent live (or make one) for the radio next. And finally i have a new electrical gremlin. The two green flashing triangles on the gauge only work when the hazard switch is pulled. Switching the indicators on doesn't illuminate them even though the external flashers are working fine.

Are those all spare or extra parts?

I was "lucky" I think, when I bought my latest 914 I didn't have any left over parts from selling my car 8 years ago and the new one only came with a shoe box of "extras"

Besides a transmission I bought, I have no large extra parts and I plan on keeping it that way from now on.... just remembered I do have a complete 1.7 fuel injection setup that i plan on selling dirt cheap.

I forgot to add earlier that I got in trouble with the wife this past weekend, she was gone with my girls and she called me to see how I am doing and what I was working on. I told her I was doing a little bit of work on the Volvo project car and the 914, I got in trouble and was told to only work on the 914, hahahaha

hehehe good that i have a very patient and very understandable wife with my 914 hobby. Those parts is not even included what I have in the garage. Last 2016 I even have 4 914s in our driveway and never heard a complain from my wife.

Well the reason i’m cleaning or disposing all the parts. We just bought a townhome and now I have to get rid of all the items from inside the 4 bedroom house and 2 car garage with full of trash!!!!

GLWS, you are in a good location down there for sales I would think.

A few hot ticket items like those H/E's and Webers that people are always looking for.
