Tightened up the security to get in my backyard. The wife pointed out that all someone had to do was climb up on the lamp and then up and over the wall, I think this should help that. Got galvanized 12 inch sections from AM then painted with white rustolum. Better than razor ribbon and the parts even come with gloves, so you do not get cut.

I'd just go through the glass pane in the door.

A chunk of carpet or thick blanket would cover the spikes nicely as well.

Sorry Bob!

Nothing about that wall or door would stop me if I wanted in...

Now, a 100+lb dog would!

Most dogs CAN be "bought off" with dog treats or hot dogs.

Security is only as good as the thief is bad!

David -

Sweet! Nice '75 or '76!

Might I suggest you brighten up those ugly black front bumpers with a set of OEM fog lights and then wire them for DRL's like I did?

To me makes a huge difference......but then, that's my opinion!

Been waiting on my great upholstery guy since early this year and finally he could take Ruby in for new carpeting - his work is incredible at great prices. Be ready mid-week next week. New brown to go with new brown interior. Can't wait to see it.

Pretty much the last touch before my restoration is complete - except for the dash. Steve Anderson gave me a mint original one years ago and now all I need is 8+ hours of time to remove the original and put in the good one.......and in no hurry to do that with lots of other projects.....

Has it really been years ago? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Glad everything is coming together for you and the 914!

Worked on my jetski today (actually did work on the 914 a little too). It was time for a complete going over to get it ready for the season. Rebuilt pump, new prop, driveshaft, steering cable, fuel lines, and plugs. It was a completely empty hull this morning, and now a complete ready to rip ski…..it was a marathon wrenching day!

I’m ready for some of this on Friday!

Waiting for this all day (couple hours) Still waiting for a new soldering iron to get dropped off. Old one was a failure on the copper strips on the bottom of the relay board. New one is 200w. I'll have this done in no time. Or I'll screw it up and do all of this again on my spare.
