I worked on the left side bodywork. I'm trying to get the body panels to line up so I can get this thing painted. I've revised the mounting points and cut/filled with f-glass both lids to match up with the side piece. PITA:angry:

What did you do? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

I got my car off jackstands with the front end complete. I just need new brake line fittings and I will be done. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

I got absolutely nothing accomplished this weekend. It was nice.


Paul, it's really strange to see a single FG side of your car from front to back.

Got my first motor all the way apart and ready for the machine shop. The second motor was torn down to a short (plus) block for it's heads. They will all be going to the machinest to be picked over and worked on this coming weekend.

Quite satisfying. Anyone from Pasadena need something sent/picked up from John in Costa Mesa?

Tried to get to it...... but had to finish the daughters 90 Camry.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif)

Replaced the clutch, both axels, tie rod ends, front brakes on the Camry. Doubt I will ever do another one. Makes working on the 914 look simple.

I really only worked two of the four days on the 914. Started the process of installing my f'glass GT flares. Shaped the perimeters so the were equal, right to left, and ground the areas that contact the body so they were of uniform thickness. Did a lot of pre-fitting before finally scribing the outlines and final cut lines. Local 914 neighbor, Dave, stopped by to help me get over the apprehension of cutting up a perfectly good car. Once the sawing got started, things moved pretty fast....A great big thanks to Dave for the help. Think I'll post a progress thread with some pic's.

I spent all day Saturday keeping score at a Volleyball tournament my daughter was in. I brought some 914 type books to read and the referee was a mechcanical engineer so we had great discussions on my car his car etc.. Great discussion on mineral based oils versus synthetic. Sunday finished putting the engine tin back on, and I was going to post the question of where can I get that little elbowed hose that goes to the back of the alternator? Great weekend for me!!

That R/P measurement scares me.
If I'm simply messing with sliders or shift forks its not bad...
but that TB diff would scare me off....

My car projects for this long weekend, included dropping parts off at the race shop.
- a used tilton clutch/flywheel for evaluation
- an couple of neat gears and useable sliders
- an extra F mainshaft to be cut up
- 2 complete side shifter cores
- a piece of my roll cage to be modified

spent wed, thur, fri, sat, sun in Moab...
dang that place is fun.
is the RRC going back there fellas?
(I'll start a new thread with vacation pics tomorrow for that question)

I took a perfectly good 914-4 front strut and turned it into junk trying figure out how to get it apart. Now I know. Then I tapped a case hole oversized and now have to get some undersized helicoils.

Most definitely a regressive day.

Took her off the jackstands, pushed it back four feet, put it back on jack stands.
Now my girl friend can park in the garage! Oh, set it up two more inches, too! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)
