[color=#FFFFFF]Wish I'd had this feature when I got my car. I would
have documented how I broke my car!

I've never used a blog before, so I don't knoqw how I'll do with this.

I'll put in briefly how I got it, my drive home,etc. Maybe later...

Now I want to talk about where I am.

I've got a 1975 1.8 Liter L-Jet equipped Porsche 914.

It isn't running right now. I have been tinkering with it, and everything I do
seems to break it! - FIXED!

Here is the list of things to fix, understand, etc:

1. Bad miss at about 3000 RPM. It is pretty much fine aboveand below that. -
FIXED!

2. The wheels shake. This is at random times. Sometimes it is
there, and sometimes it isn't.

3. The headlights are not aimed. - BETTER!

4. The instrument panel lights are dead. - NO!

5. The vent system does not seem to work. Fan does not run. - SORTA FIXED!

6. The sun visors are loose. Driver's side holder is cracked. Visors are ratty
looking. REMOVED PASSENGER VISOR!

7. The speedometer is not calibrated due to tire size.

8. Gas gauge range seems a little low - BETTER!

9. High beam indicator does not work - FIXED!

10. Emergency brake is too stiff. Handle is too close to seat.

11. Fuel pump runs continuously on ignition switch turn-on. - FIXED!

12. Windshield washer does not work.

13. Turn signals do not cancel - PARTIAL FIX, NEEDS WORK!

14. Odometer does not work.

15. No radio or speakers. No speaker grills. - DONE

16. Left rear is too high neg camber or right is too straight up - BETTER AFTER
ALIGNMENT

17. Car tracks straight. No wander.

18. Need tow bar setup. - DONE!

19. Need new tires. Currently 195/50-15.- DONE!

20. No first gear synchro. - TRUE!

21. Weak 2nd gear synchro. - I DON'T THINK SO.

22. Wiper motor doesn't park.

23. Trunk coutesy light doesn't work. - DONE!

24. I need a right side mirror _ DONE! WOULD LIKE A CONVEX ONE...

25. Replace the short fuel lines to the fuel injectors! - DONE!

26. Need radio, and speaker grills - DONE!

27. Need rubber bumpers for targa top, GWN7?

28. Need much body work.
