Starting to look more like a 914.

More parts arrived, including a front caliper hardware kit from an Ebay supplier.

The pad spreader spring is one piece, instead of the original riveted two-piece, but it has the correct spread: about 51 mm.

So that meant I could finish the rear brakes. Actual pad clearance adjustment will wait until I install the sub axles. Oh, and that brake bleeding thing.

Last job today was to finish polishing aluminum trim, with the front and rear window weatherstrip retaining strips. These were also sanded and painted black by the PO.

Not perfect, and with a few local dings, but at least shiny now.

And I tried giving the targa hoop rear trim a polish of the anodized surface. This is a used replacement piece, not a backed-out version.

Last thing that arrived today is adhesive for vinyl (targa hoop and dash to start). Based on recommendations and concern for (1) good stick to vinyl and (2) heat resistance, I decided on DAP Landau contact adhesive. And I found aerosol cans to go along with the 1 gallon liquid can, for brush-on.

From what I remember the blue label can is already thinned for a spray gun but it has been a while.
Car is so pretty now I wouldn't even be able to sit in it....

Thanks, guys. I got the liquid for if/when I need to brush some on, most likely around edges. I would have been happy to buy just a pint, but could only find the gallon size.

I'm not sure how well the thinned stuff brushes on. I would test first.
I use one on the $10 HF spray guns to spray it on. Clean with gasoline.
Use it up because it disappears like magic.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) Wow, took me almost three days to read through this post. Thanks for sharing all the hard work and detail you have put into this 914. I will be resuming my restorations as soon as I can go to Colorado and retrieve the two I have and bring them down to Texas. I am retired now, so have time to work on them each day, you are a true inspiration.
