While I'm waiting for parts for the gas tank switch, I thought I'd get started on another project that I've been putting off - intake tubes.
When I redid my originals in 1989, I made the mistake of clearcoating them. Man, did they look great for 7-8 years, before then engine heat took over. Still don't look horrible, but you can tell. So, I have two extra sets (eBay). Both are gross! I intended to refurbish both, but the red set has bad clips, so it will go in the trash tomorrow night. The other set - silver-on white-on gray look like the have potential. So, I started citris stripping them tonight. It's 86 degrees in the garage, so the stripping should be enhanced by the heat (unlike me). The red ones are free to anyone so inclined, but you need to let me know by tomorrow night! They are really crude. I must start throwing this stuff out. Pics attached Attached image(s)

Pat - I appreciate what your doing to get your car back in shape. It's one I'd really like to see and I think I live pretty close to you. Even if it isn't looking perfect, you should think about getting it on the road. These cars are so fun and a day like today would be teriffic. Just thinking out loud. Best of luck, Mark

Best of luck, Mark ark, Thanks for the reply. Look, I've owned this 914 for 38 years (I was 25 when I bought it new). We've done a bunch of atocrossing with it in the past, and have maintained it to hardcore concors specs (38 "real" trophies), but I'm now 63 and a bit arthritic, so things move way more slowly. In fact, the car will be shipped to Ohio over the winter to have the mechanicals brought back into spec. I just can't physically do it anymore. Oh, it will be made roadworthy. Thankfully, I have no rust issues. To quote Dirty Harry - "man should know his limits". I do, & it's time to find a younger man to help. Pat |
