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)

Karl,
Just spent the last 30 minutes reading through all the posts and looking at your progress pictures. It brought back a lot of memories as I did a complete resoration of my 72 914 1.7 10 years ago. I did a 35mm photo journal of the project, and a lot of the pictures look exactly the same! The biggest difference between our projects is that I returned mine to stock condition. When you are done, you will find the toughest part about your "new" car is watching go through its "second" deterioration process. Every rock ding just kills! But, you gotta drive it! I will keep watching your progress. Best of luck. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Rich |
