Thanks guys, still lots of work to do, but its turning out pretty nice. I have to keep reminding myself that many of the body parts are race fiberglass, so stuff just doesn't fit as well as I would like. But I am getting used to it.

I did wake up in the middle of the night with a an idea for a better personalized plate..and it was available...

Got my door panels back from Tony today. I used the 914rubber.com fiberglass kit but used the vinyl that we put on the dash for the top and threw in the double stitch to pull it all together

Looks great. I have to check out these new fangled batteries.

Regarding your pics, if you have the images on your computer, rotate them in Preview if on a Mac or in a free editor like Gimp or Irfanview if on a PC.

If your images are still on your iphone, try this:
1. bring up the image
2. click Edit on the upper right
3. click the crop/rotate symbol on the bottom left (next to Cancel)
4. click the rotate button above Cancel to turn the image to the proper orientation
5. click Done

I know how to rotate images. And I don't take pics with the phone rotated. They are correctly oriented on my phone and when I post to Instagram or Facebook. Also when emailed. That's why it's so frustrating only seems to happen on this site

Well I put about 100 miles on the car this weekend, mostly with my 3-year old daughter in the car seat next to me, so that was cool. The car did, of course, break on me, about 1/4 mile from the house. After 2 hours of messing with it, I discovered that the set screw for the adjustable rotor (that you have to run with the MSD/Timing Control) had vibrated loose. I guess 15 degrees ATDC is no bueno for starting...Got that fixed and to the house, disassemble and re-assembled with loctite and now I just need to retime it. I also got my Patrick Motorsports rear valence panel so I need to fit that, cut some holes for the exhaust and wrap it before install. It really finishes the rear of the car.

Thanks! Mepstein you are in my old hood. Born and raised in Newark. Went toUofD

My wife and I lived in Newark for about 10 years and both went to UD. We still work in Newark but live just over the border in PA.

914's are a rare sight around here.

Just trying to help you sort out the problem ... you won't be frustrated if you follow the simple guide below. Or don't, no skin off my nose.

Thanks Dave. I typically shoot with the phone as shown in example 3. Which is apparently incorrect. And yet it works sometimes, and still only has an issue on this forum. I am no less confused about the issue but I'll try it as shown in example 1 and see if it's consistently cool
