Starting rally car number 3 at Rothsport.
93 964 Carrera 2. BAT that Jeff bought last winter.  Job #1, removing all the messy liquids. fuel, oil and the worst, power steering fluids. This time I'm cleaning all the parts as I go. Still pinching myself. Life is good .................. |

Got my first run of hardware back from the plater. I'm rich ..........
  Taking the time the clean really paid dividends. Won't be too many rejects. It's a little too much for the CW crowd. But I'm all about protecting the metal and the what will the car be like in 40 years when they're freshened up again. How did my work hold up? |

Very nice. That is definitely the way to do that. I like all nice clean, plated parts where they belong.

Next project will be the design of my Durham cabinets and shelving to store all my excess parts. Having all the inventory is of no value if you can't put your hands on it.
This is a shot of our hardware supplies in the chassis room at Rothsport.  Zoro price about $170 per box with 4 removal drawers. I imagine I'll have 12-16 boxes when I'm finished. $$$ The bottom rows will be some of these guys for larger parts and supplies.  |

QUOTE(cary @ Oct 7 2017, 07:50 AM)  . Having all the inventory is of no value if you can't put your hands on it. How true. Check the "tools for Sale" in Craigslist close you every week or so. Quite ofter I see machinist's that list some really nice "old school" cabinets when they retire. |

Short Episode of Tool Whore :
Finally found a Snap On PTS500 on Ebay ............ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) A little shorter than my PTS1000 Dual Chuck.  Then I added wheel hanging pins to my tool box. This allows you to hang the wheel on our studless 914's.  I'd never seen one of these before. At the last autocross I helped a guy with a 996. It's in their tool kit. |

Another Super In Law project I thought I'd share.
I was doing some housecleaning yesterday and pulled the old POS pallet jack out to add to the next scrap run. Jack decides we'll cut off the forks to build an extension for the Big Joe pallet stacker. When Mike's parts car arrives I'm going to hang it on the wall, rather than cut it up. 88 years old and his back been bugging him for a while.    I'm going to have to start paying more attention. And start saying no. |

Saturday 10/14/17
Super In Law finished up his re-purposing of the POS pallet jack.   Why are doing this ? Plan is to build a platfrom type hanger to store the incoming parts car from Mike Godly (Warpig) on the wall. Only after it's totally stripped down to a tub. |

Busy day at MiddleMotors.
Matt and Mark stopped by the talk parts. I'm going to work on the dimensions for the replacement frunk seal channel strips this week. Hopefully get the pieces made before folks winter projects start. After we get the straight stock up and going I'll work on the arced front piece. Then the lower front piece.   We had a visitor from Belgium, Jan and his wife. They're touring the West Coast for a couple weeks hitting 914 related shops. Jan is restoring a factory 6 at home, but is in the market for a 914 daily driver. He's an air cooled guy, his daily driver is a T2 VW bus. We discussed he might need my services for pick up and transport to a shipping dock. Plus some restoration work if needed. Mike Godly (Warpig) was here letting me know that he'd just bought another 914 and wants to do a side shifter swap .............. Primary project for the day was helping/coaching Taylor on a rear caliper /pads swap on his Jetta.   Needless to say I didn't get much welding done on Doug's car.

I found a good use for the half dozen wheel studs that got mixed up in the batch of yellow zinc. Plugs for the transmission vent when the gear boxes get stood up or ran thru the jet washer.

Here's another Super In Law creation. He cut out a thicker and larger table for our small JET band saw. Nice. Front edge has a slight bend so it will drop into the frame for sawing.
 Plus my hardware kit from AA showed yesterday. It will be the beginning of my hardware bin and storage system that I'll work on this winter.  |

Wednesday Chris (Tygaboy) drove up from N.California to drop off his stash of unneeded parts. Here is Chris's addition to my parts stash. There are 2 seat cores seating on the chest you can't see.
 Plus a box of assorted brake tools.  While Chris and went out to grab a bite to eat, Jack aka Super In Law finished splitting the first pile of firewood.  |
