Time to get busy again! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)



Yeah I know you miss me Eric. Actually I have been very busy; past year my shoulder/ rotator has been a mess. Doctors orders… absolutely no panel beating! In May I had a flood in my house which forced me to move out while remediation and repairs were made. All I have left to do is finish the custom hardwood baseboards at this point. Not a square inch of this house was spared and left untouched... except the garage. August my Mom passed away after an eight year endurance race of her life with cancer. On October 31 of all the days on the calendar I was diagnosed with Lyme. No Kings English my friend just busy with the things that happen in life. I’ve never given up on anything, not in my nature. Just had to modify the organization chart by priority. Thanks for the bump.

Sweet (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

First time I've seen your thread,spent the better part of 6 hours reading your posts.


We all look up to you for the great work you are doing and sharing with us

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/party.gif)

Just wish I had seen this thread years earlier or... Before I started my own journey (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

I was in California, el segundo specifically on the last Friday of the month to visit the driving museum and discovered that hot rod magazines workshop was right next door and having an end of summer bash that evening...

Went back and saw this among the other really cool cars.


Just a thought for lights and a question, are they really legal in California. Hella Catz lights

Hella Catz legal to the letter of the VC as a headlamp? No. Still have to have operational lows and highs to be on the right side of the grey area. I dont suppose there are actual 914 pop up lamps under those Catz somewhere?

Wow!!! I just read through this whole thread. Thanks so much for documenting your repairs in such detail. I'll have to re-read sections several more times, but what a terrific resource. I hope you are back to 100% soon and looking forward to seeing your finished product.

I guess I should get something done...

24mm Carrera rotors on Carrera hubs, stubs and axels. Oh wait I did that a long time ago.

I think I will add a 911 parking brake while I'm in there since I have all these parts just laying around in boxes. Might as well also throw on the appropriate 4 piston calipers.

I have seen a lot of conversions and thought I would have to use SC rotors. Nothing of the sort. I had to trim the stainless posts on the calipers 2mm each. and the inboard brake puck backer to clear the adaptor by a hair. Other than that direct bolt on, no extra washers or extra shims. Perfect.

I believe the carpets should always match the drapes.

Can't do the rear without the proper Fung Shui on the front end.

Long way to go and a short time to get there...

Little change in the formula. The replacement ass is going to make J-Lo look like a stick figure.

Night for now

Joda is back and working on his craft, time to get back in the game again.

Jeff, Thank you for all of your excellent work, photo's, descriptions, advice, instructions!!!

I would have never tried to go after my 914-6 project if it was not for this thread, it has given me the courage to repair the Floor Pan and some rust in my long. And a bunch of other crap.

You have given so many of us the motivation to go after our challenges by taking on a bigger challenge and teaching all of us during your journey.


Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!

I hate when I get through amazing threads and the car isnt done when I finally get to the end. however, this is a thread that is more of a reference for when someone decides to tackle rust repair on ANY car. truly a work of art. Id love to watch you work, Im not too far away.

Still here and I have never given up. I don't know how to give up! Just side tracked with other things.

To be continued...

Rear parking brake conversion finished. Disassemble everything and parts
moved to the powdercoater bin. Afterthought... I already powdercoated the arms once before. Oh well.
