Thnaks to all who reached out about the fires. House made it, yard is a bit crispy. Others on the block weren't so lucky. Been volunteering at the YMCA donation center over the past couple weeks so not much 914 progress other than cleaning out ash. Rain and mudslides are next they say. ACT and SAT prep is happening. Good thing I like to be busy.
Time to put on my favorite part of this car!! I made sure to powder coat the buckets so that they were certain to last. Check out 914 Rubber for those epic relays, bulbs, and the white surrounds. I know the white is typically for the earlier 914s, but they just looked so awesome!! These definitely seemed complicated at first, but it all came together and I didn’t accidentally break anything! - it’s all about the little wins lately. Thanks to Matt, Ian and Mark for leaving breadcrumbs on this one! Keep on tinkering! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3G7878062Y |

I had a FREAKING customer operate his pop ups while I had my hands in the mechanism! Took a CHUNK out of the little finger of my left hand! Like a cheese slicer! Took 6 months for the nerves to heal... I was PISSED. Wanted to KILL! Andy's suggestion is AWESOME!!!!! And I no longer DO ANYTHING in the engine compartment if the customer is sitting in the driver's seat.

It is OK if you use the instructions as a knee pad, but keep safe on the road and off. |
