Finally able to get my project moving again! Friday I drove down to CT and picked up my rotissere from Chris Foley - he built this thing in three days! Couldn't resist putting it together yesterday and putting the car onto it by myself last night. Yeah, just me and two seriously big floor jacks and 2x10s to pick up the rear under the engine mounting bar. Well here it is. Chris, you are the man. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

Guys you just can't imagine how much the rotissere improves working conditions. This long weekend, my 914 buddy - Eric (parts guru at IRA Porsche who bears full responsibility for my 914 addiction) came over to help with a few last details to prepare the car for media blasting. With the car on its side, we removed the shift bar, heater control cables and then addressed removing the stainless steel fuel lines Chris Foley had fabricated and installed into the car. Removing the lines from the large grommet in the front firewall was basically impossible with the car in the normal orientation. But with the car on its side, I could pull the lines out from inside the car while Eric forced them down from the top of the car. It worked and in a few minutes they were out. Worth every penny. When I am finished the rotissere is in the public domain for all 914 owners to use for their projects. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)
