Well, what can I say... Going through all those pages with pic, I can only conclude that we share one thing: same sort of plastic storage boxes on the shelf...

Kidding aside: I think that you Martini Racing 914 is by far the nicest of the bunch. Keep those pics coming!

Yes they're off ebay. Quality seems ok but I'm a Little dissapointed there was no edge binding around the cutouts for the pedals. Time will tell how well they last.

After being knocked out with the flu for the past week I finally got some garagetime today. Changed the oil and filter and did some other small jobs. Then I just couldnt wait any longer.... and down it came. I love how small and nible it becomes when its back on the ground. Now spring needs to hurry up and arrive up here!!

Thanks David! We'll have to do a photoshoot once the weather is a little nicer.
I had a cm of snow outside this morning as punishment for the nerve to take the car out of the garage... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Way to go I really like the front valence on your car. It has to feel good to take it even for a short drive after so long.

Yesterday was the big dyno day.....and it ended in failure.

https://youtu.be/3PrzYgzsMro

Upp towards 5000 rpm the engine makes a bad noise and then starts puking oil from the righ hand side valve cover.

I've never driven the car that hard before I started the restoration so its all news too me. Any ideas as to what the noise could be?

I had hopes I would be starting to be able to drive my car in a week or so, feeling very deflated at the moment. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)
