914World.com _ 914World Garage _ OK, I've asked alot of questions here...

Yep! I'm actually supposed to be at work right now. However, the car was dropped off about an hour ago and now it's taking a nap in it's new garage. It's definitely a 30+ year old car.. but it's in pretty good shape overall. Even though it was painted recently, the painter's skills are lacking for sure. I'll sand it back down, touch up a little body work here and there, weld up some mirror holes, etc and reshoot it, probably back to the original yellow.

Ok, gotta get back to work. TaxPayers are SOOO sensitive...

Well, while you're doing a repaint, you might as well.....

Like I mentioned before, I had a 74 MGB... so of COURSE I have four jackstands. Hm, maybe I'll do that next weekend. Working this weekend and all week.

How much is involved in adjusting / checking the valves?
