I was working on a customer project recently and occasionally, at the end of the day when I'm all done, I'll pick up a part and 'tweak on it' for awhile. On this particular day I was thoroughly polishing/cleaning/painting the clutch rod from a Bug pedal cluster. You know, the one you'll NEVER see once it's installed. But there is an overwhelming satisfaction for me to do work like this, but I will probably never get to build a car that thoroughly... except my own.

So I decided it's time to start a piece by piece, part by part, Tweak Restoration® on my aubergine 914. Since I'll never have the time to block off a few months to complete the work, I've decided to take it one Saturday at a time. I also plan to THOROUGHLY document the project. Each part will get a before, during and after picture. All the details of the process will be included. I will be approaching each part as its own restoration project.

I'm very excited about this revelation. I'm very excited to have a stack of pretty parts, ready to install once the body is painted.

So, coming this saturday is the first installment of Tweak Restoration® (or is it Tweak-steration®?).
