Have a BBQ. Be sure to have beer, there should be some guys in the area that might help you out. Be sure to plan a couple of weeks in advance. The turn out might be a bit smaller because of your location.

If you can get the car to Saskatchewan I'll do it all for you! Sounds like a pretty sweet TV!

How far from Sacramento are you?
I assume you want this all complete before Football season

I am not sure that the logistics involved with me in Sacramento and you so far south make this workable. But we need more information if anyone is going to be able to help you out.

CHANGE BACK SPRINGS - Change them to what? Why?
CHANGE DOOR HANDLES - Outers? Which part is broken?
GET GAGES WORKING - Which gauges don't work?
HORN WORKING - Does it do anything?
HEATER WORKING - What if anything does it do?
DO BRAKE JOB - What do you expect a 'brake job' to include? Is there a problem?
NEED TO INSTALL QUITE A FEW SEALS - What seals are you referring to?
VALVE ADJ - When were they last adjusted?
POSSIBLE CLUTCH - Do you have a problem with the clutch?
POSSIBLE WINDSHIELD - Not something I would do, I would call a glass shop.
MISC - This could be a big category on a 914.

You might want to find someone local that can help you determine what might be involved with some of the things on your list.

Jim

Mention your ZIP code to make it easier to know your location.

Here is a little picture of my car

I fixed it up a little for you. Edit your last post and see what it looks like now. BTW - you don't have to quote a reply every time you post. Looks like a nice 914. Hard to tell with that tiny picture.

More pics!
