What a week! Purchased the '74 Alaska Blue from Gary Deck (etcmss) on Tuesday 9/14 of all days. Drove it 884 miles back to TX with no real issues, and spent the rest of the week looking for reasons to just get in and go. My daughter has ordained herself as the official co-pilot and iPod DJ. She must now be taken to and picked up from school only in the 914.... On Tuesday evening was pulling into the parking garage at work and lost everything but 2nd and 3rd gear. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) Got it home and found a crumbled mess of what used to be bushings in the shift linkage boot on the firewall. Purchased a full set of bushings and cone screws - 5 minutes to put the 2 into the U joint and was back on the road! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Will get the rest done later today. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) So, my first road trip, and first repair are under my belt and I can't seem to wipe the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) off my face...
