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...

Rich -
You caught me after I took everything apart and put it away until I can take a bunch of parts to the powdercoater in one batch!

Basically the arms are boxed. Have Foleys pivot bracket and parking brake kit. For what Chris's kit cost it wasn't worth going buying a quality swaging tool, cable, fittings etc. to use it one time and his CFR stuff works. Elephant bushings. The wheel bearings are stock 914 Fag on Carrera hubs with a spacer to use the Carrera axels. The parking brakes I bought used from a 912 for $15 off the Samba. Only thing that was good are the pads, adjusters and backing plates. I bought all new hardware (springs, retainers, spreaders new). The calipers are obviously Boxster which these days make no sense to buy used since the price has dropped dramatically. The adapters came from Rich Johnson.

DID I SAY "Have Foleys pivot bracket and parking brake kit. For what Chris's kit cost it wasn't worth going buying a quality swaging tool, cable, fittings etc. to use it one time and his CFR stuff works".

Chris/ CFR always gets a plug from me.

This is all the small consumable parts I ended up buying. The arm modification is straight forward. Grind the bearing carrier down until the backing plate fits like a hat. Weld the pad stop on, CFR cable tube and relocate the cable anchor bracket.

Not at all. Its fun! Considering everything except the caliper adapters and CFR cable kit are off the shelf P-Car parts its really simple.

God gave to Nascar and he also taketh away from the Nasty Car guys and then put it my garage.

I picked up a used 4 gallon Patterson oil tank ridiculously cheap. Half a dead president cheap. 16 AN fittings, dual outlets, dual breathers and triple inlets. Came with a tank heater, two temp probes and a couple of monsterous mounting straps. A little wear but clean and no leaks.

Patterson is located close by at the Van Nuys airport so I only need to pickup a new o-ring. I may have them shorten the inlets and close one off.
