Meet Ordella
She’s a middle aged girl who’s silvery locks
have begun to loose their luster.
Her half gallon heart’s been still for near nine summers,
Thirsting for fuel and spark but lo, neglected.
And while she sleeps, we plan her resurrection.
We will cut and peen the cancer at her waist.
Her edge and fletch is brighter than her dark hides imply.
Brighter than the air rushing by that would cool her blood.
Brighter than the chrome on her windscreen wiper.
She is waiting...
Ordella: Little silver spear
The seeker of many roads and paths and places never seen,
By me nor my Lady.
Unafraid to lose her top!
This steely steed, this gray mare, this machine of grace and balance
will not pitch or yaw but will
carry us on her vulcanized hooves screaming.
She has a way of moving us while she’s still;
And being still while she’s moving.
And she will arrive just before us with a gleam
in her high browed eyes for those
who know the “9's”
And into that fold she’ll be welcome. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif)

I'm not too happy with the paint. Is this "orange peel"? Or "fish eye"? Finger bullet indicates "flaw".
"hey honey, park that there under my truck!!"

Here's what kept me away from Ordella for the month of March. "It's transmission!", "It's art!"
It's transmission AND art!

Well....it's orange...and it' peelin'! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)


What until you really tear into it (and you will (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif) ), you're gonna want to check out some of the "rustoration" threads for reference. Evil things lurk beneath carpets and firewall pads... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/hide.gif)

Update:
Took out the seats. The passenger seat slid forward in the rail right up to the dash board until it came off the rails. (short people got no reason...). Found $3.00 in quarters, a tow "eye" and the knob for the headlight switch! There's surface rust on the seat mounts but it didn't get into the floor yet. Pulled the battery, deep surface rust on the tray but no perforation, it's still solid on the firwall. There's some rust creeping out from underneath the alum. threashold on the passenger side.
I know you want pictures but my girlfriend left her (birthday gift) camera out in the rain when we went camping and now it's KAPUT! Yeah, she's blond.
Besides, I gotta to save up for a rebuild kit.
Has anyone tried putting the battery in a marine battery box? They're water proof.
I'll get you some pictures in a couple days, OK?

Yeah... I ain't done much since you last checked in. I think I'll pull the bumpers and put her up on jack stands this week and get a couple friends to help me pull the motor on Saturday, 4/23. I'm just gonna shoot the rear window with some "black butyl" caulk to stop the rattle and move on, do the same to the tail lights. I'm not working on a museum piece here, or a trailer queen, I just want to get her running and looking good. Hey ...I've got a regular job that keeps me from important 914 stuff, ok?
Go ahead, send me some "brakes links" some "2.0 rebuild links" I need info!!!
Do the euro pistons (7.5, 8.0 ???)need F.I. Re-calibration?
Do the fuel lines REALLY need replacement?
My friends are Delphi/Harris (Radiator/HVAC) guys. Air cooled and and flat four are not really their thing (but they're still engineers!!) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer3.gif) I want to know everything!!

If you are sticking with the FI...here's the deal.

You have almost 80lbs of pressure, going through a 30yr old plastic tube that goes REAL CLOSE to some REAL HOT stuff...

Do yourself a favor...replace with steel.

Keep going on her...she'll be on the road in no time!
