Dawn Patrol / World member, Update 2/16/12 see post #52 Options

[Als914]

I received a phone call this morning from the men's club president where Lew Mengle (shulew3) and I are golf members to inform me that Lew passed away from an apparent heart attack some time Tuesday night. There was concern when he didn't show up or call for his round of golf on Wednesday. The police were called in to investigate and in entering his home they found him passed away in his bed.

Lew came over Teusday morning to do some work on his 914. He had a love/hate relationship with it because he loved to drive it but hated everything that went wrong with it. He loved the outings with all the 914 members and at seventy nine he could manage to keep up. He was a regular member of the Dawn Patrol, 914 World and a great friend...He will be deeply missed.

My dad an I will probably join you over the mountain Kent. Its the quickest way to palm springs in our cars.

That weekend should work for me Cesar. What exactly are we doing on your car Al?

Sounds good Ethan. I'll be in touch before then.

Not sure Ethan, Al thinks we know what we are doing! Actually, Al will let us know what he wants done. I have heard front end bushings, some brake work and a swaybar install. Al will let me or Kent know, you'll be the first one we contact.

Dropping out the old A-arms and cross members for a refurbished complete unit with intalled bushings and torsion bars. New upper Semi-rigid strut mounts, new ball joints and Bilstein shocks. I may install new rotors with new bearings? All we need is a Saturday for this change out. This is what I'd like to accomplish this time. What do you all think?

The break upgrade and anti-sway bar install will be planned later to install S.S. fuel lines when the gas tank is pulled.

Al, if Ethan and one or two others show (besides me and Cesar) we should be able to do it all in one day. I can do the tank and SS lines, Ethan can do the front sway bar, Cesar + 1 on the front end, and finally a collaboration on the brakes. Also, will I be driving your car to n fro, Al? Let me know; I'm ready to go.
