QUOTE(914werke @ Mar 23 2023, 09:33 AM)  Well there is WCR RRC or R66 ..? Trying for something like that. Problem is 3 jobs and island life. We're taking some steps to get back on the mainland and even possibly retire = more time for my toys. Last 2-3 years have been work, work, work. Hardly putting any miles on cars and even fewer hours on the airplane. Time for a life change. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

QUOTE(Root_Werks @ Mar 23 2023, 09:05 AM) Hard to believe it's been three years since we originally picked up the 914 and drove 900+ miles home. Very glad I was able to find another 914, let alone a six conversion in a color I really wanted. Looks like a real sleeper (IMG:style_emoticons/default/margie_914.jpg) |

One of the rear sway bar bushings blew out (old and cracked). I could hear the "clunk, clunk" while driving.
Bought new bushings and rear sway bar tab kit. I knew the PO simply drilled holes through the trunk floor and long bolts (yuck). Honestly, little embarrassed I didn't do this BEFORE painting the 914. The 75-76' later bumper 914's use a slightly different kit. The plate with Nuts welded on is flat (no step needed). I don't know if I needed the extra metal square thingies as this is boxed for the bumper shocks? Covered up two of the holes anyway. What was removed and would be installed: Attached thumbnail(s)

Shot of the trunk, had left over paint I used to touch it up. Turned out nice.
Again, don't know if I needed these extra metal supports on a later 914, figured it couldn't hurt. No more "clunk, clunk" while driving! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Attached thumbnail(s)
