Okay... I decided to start a Gint-like thread and just post progress instead of starting a new subject each time I do something neat.
Latest project.... Pedal cluster rebuild. This is really VERY easy to do. I had the pieces powder coated. Installed new bushings. Cleaned up everything and reassembled. I'm also installing AJ billet pedals (I've got the billet gas pedal too). Attached image(s)

Dumping money is right... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bootyshake.gif) I am totally aware that I am stupidly dumping inordinate amounts of money into this car that I will NEVER recover.
But I am doing this once (I am building my dream 914 to last and keep). It will, for all intents and purposes, be basically a NEW 914. Almost everything is being replaced, upgraded, rebuild, replated, refinished, restored, etc. This car has consumed me for many years (lots of dreaming). I have loved 914s since my first car when I was 16. I've spent countless hours searching through catalogs and magazines over the years for ideas. Luckily the internet has made my thought process easier over the past several years. Groups like 914club and the Pelican Parts BB make the free exchange of knowledge and ideas so much easier. Thanks to Brad for making THIS board the best! Thanks to everyone else for contributing. Working on this car is also my therapy and release for the stresses I deal with daily at work and the life my wife and I live. Realistic completion date is the end of the year... I figure another 6-8 weeks for body work (he's slow but good).... A month to reassemble (in my spare time).... And a month to install everything at the shop, troubleshoot, tweek, balance, etc. Maybe it will make a nice Christmas present. |
