If not a Service Entrance panel, neutral buss needs to be isolated from frame of panel, and separate ground buss bonded to panel. Neutrals & grounds go to 2 different busses.

Still can't work on the 914 (need to adjust valves) as the 924 Turbo is still on the lift.

Hope to have running within a week......new injectors going in, all fuel lines flushed & ready......

914 is still at the body/paint shop. Been tinkering on our VW's and trying to keep flying every once in a while during the winter.

Sucky picture, Canada (Sidney) is in front of me and that's snow which didn't show up on the phone camera. Both so close could almost touch the snow flakes and smell the Maple syrup!

Finished the tranny swap in the Bug.

4.12 Swing with the .82 4th, the gap between 3-4 is a bit large, but it's much more driveable now then the original 4.375 R&P.

Outside of the inclement weather, helped my daughter stack the set of P-cars we restored.

Got the yellow 914 for x-mas (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) and almost no restoration needed, just a good wash.

Thanks, I believe they will. No metal damage but chipped thru to the primer in 3 places where a broken off tail pipe hit the hood at 50 mph., hard part is matching metallic. paint is only 3 years old and had clear wrap with UV prtection , so do the sides of the car/front quarters so if they use the same brand paint we used it should match up , but will have to do some sample spraying first. I know they can do it, they have an excellent rep, - that green 914/6 is a patrick motorsports build car and new owner in NC had it in for new seats and get the 3.8 monster motor tuned up properly which they did. So they do it all. Several other 914 guys in the Charlotte area used them and made the recommendation. I will let you know how it all turns out.

PS- are yuo going to sell any of those pillows? i would like to find a orange 914 p-car pillow lmk if you do.

Been designing and assembling a double track HO bridge for the train club I belong to in Ambridge PA. The entire bridge is 3d printed. It is 47 inches long and 10 inches high in the middle. It was designed after the Ohio Connecting Railroad bridge just outside of Pittsburgh crossing Brunot's island on the Ohio River.

My problem is I like to wear shorts and I don't have heating in the garage.

It just came up to 28° so I really shouldn't complain as I do know much colder up North.

I was told by a neighbor that the white stuff on my bug is snow. Someone posted a video on facebook of the snow flakes coming down here.

@Cairo94507

Thanks Michael, it was rather fun building the bridge. I designed the bridge in Solidworks which took most of the time. The printing wasn't that bad although I did do a lot of sanding to smooth the print lines.

Here's the prototype bridge I used to design this one. The prototype is 425 foot long and mine is scale 340 foot. Now I want to build an even longer bridge now.....
