Today Mark's and Taylor's cars are swapping places so I can give Taylor a hand with the firewall R & R.

New Episode Of Tool Whore ...................
Well my PowerBall ticket didn't win on Saturday. But when this came up on Craigslist this morning I felt like I'd won the lottery. It's a vibrating/agitating small parts washer, at Rothsport we call it the rattler. It uses the good stuff, carburetor cleaner. I didn't think one would ever come up for sale. Air powered and I'll snag a shiny new Mobil 1 15 gal oil can from Rothsport.    (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) $50 ................... and $125 worth of carb cleaner. I have 4-5 5 gal buckets of hardware and small parts ready and waiting. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) |

In the works for today. Had to tinker with the right rear brakes to get the venting adjustment to come to life on Mark's For Sale Car. Then I removed the half shafts so the car can roll down the road with no engine. In went a pair of outer subs to keep the bearings in place. 2 ugha dughas on the impact gun. She's ready roll................... With truck waiting for its new transmission, the 914 is my daily driver. Super In Law is pretty used to the car. He doesn't even hold onto the door anymore. LOL. Matt thanks for the picture. I forget the people shots. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |

When Richard was over visiting us at Rothsport he mentioned he was building a 914-6.
Looks like he built one and took it to Sweden to his Ice Driving School (playground). I think he's having a good time ................. Let me know if the video fires up if you don't have Instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BPyXKmigrin/?ta...rsche&hl=en |

Side note : The 2 new cans of U-Pol weld thru primer are the copper based instead of zinc. Error : Either them or me ? Man it's a alot nicer to weld onto. I just laid that washer on the primer and blipped away. No spitter spatter like the zinc. |

The can I purchased on line was mushroomed on the bottom and wouldn't spit a drop out the sprayer nozzle. Ended up getting my shorts in a wad and threw the can in the trash.

I thought I'd catch up on the stuff Super In Law has created in the last month.
1. Rack for bagged blasting media. Old compressor location.  2. Overhead shelf for all the specialty tools I (we) forget we have. Having them behind a cabinet door didn't help too much.  3. Wall unit behind the press to store all the pressing and pulling gadgets that I just bought. Won't be long and the 12 ton press will be replaced with a 20.  4. Then this week he built me some brakes for the rotisserie. After we changed to 360 steel wheels I can move it without much effort. Out of the scrap pile and simple. They work like a champ.   This week Porsche Parade and Emory Campout. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) |

Catch up things at MiddleMotors.
The parts washer is down again at MiddleMotors. Lost the main component. The combined motor/pump. First one they built and sent was the wrong one. $1000:( . I need to now have them build the right one. $1500. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) Well, the thing will be almost new now. |

QUOTE(raynekat @ Jul 23 2017, 04:40 PM) I'll stay where I'm at for a while. But everyone is telling me to raise my rate. With the 1/2 time gig with Rothsport I'm definitely not getting rich, but life is good. I'm kind of in a weird spot. Not really a body shop. I don't plan on spreading mud on any clients cars, just mine. I'm more of a welder and mechanical chassis guy. Body shops charge about H, welders charge about N, mechanics charge about T and blasters charge about X. I'll figure it out. I know about where I need to be. Plus I feel I should pass my low rent on to the clients ............... Heading off to San Francisco for another vacation .................. Julie and I have been married 35 years today ............... No plan, staying at sister in law house in South SF. |

Couldn't help myself. I was making good time in the Jetta so we stopped to see Freddie at Vintage Sportscar Restorations.
https://www.facebook.com/VintageSportscarRestorations/ https://www.vsrestorations.com/  74 IROC backdate getting a Rothsport 3.8. The paint is stunning .............. Rektor project on the second lift.  While I was picking Freddie's brain on the less than finer points on the fender cowl area on the 914. Julie had a good conversation with Jeremy. All she could talk about the next 1/2 hour was how nice and family oriented they were.  Under the cover white 67s. Topless in the right corner, Freddie's own 59/60 cab project. Upfront 356. Ricardo was long boarding the nose when we drove up. |

I have a sickness.....
Going High Performance House and a look at Rich's 914 sheet metal inventory. Maybe I'll find a beautiful cowl for Doug's car. The girls will be going to one of the sister in laws volunteer deals functions. Looks like I'll sneak a trip the Chris's (tygaboy) on Thursday or Friday. |

Trip to High Performance House was an eye opening experience. I had no idea that anyone had amassed that much 914 inventory. The yard out front is full of covered cars and inventory. The building has 3 layers and every layer is full and organized.
Rich started the tour with a walk thru the 914 racing trophy cases. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Then it was aisle by aisle. Frank and Mike from American Pickers would call this a honey hole.      |

    Rich has a presence on eBay for a lot of his sales, but not on 914 World. https://www.ebay.com/sch/hphporschesales/m....=p2047675.l2562 I think an email containing a photo and a Porsche part number would get you just about anything you need. Maybe NOS, maybe used.  FIY. He has a rebuilder for both the 3 port fuel pump and the AAR. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I saw NOS front turn signal buckets too. The list goes on and on. |
