SS tank to engine bay fuel line

Was thinking of putting it all on black and doubling my budget to $2k (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I'm guessing this is for a /4 right?
I have a similar cooler and fan parts...sold the oil-filter adapter when I sold my engine.
I'm sure they are cheaper than the link you posted (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

But your list is a good one, all good upgrades!

Drop the motor and redo all the tin, FI tubes and vacuum hoses.

Clean the tranny. They are always feelthy. Install new CV's - That will make you feelthy.

Clean the engine bay while empty. That can hurt even a young teener.

Get new tin rubber from Mikey.

That should take 2K of wind out of your sails.

Nothing like a spotless motor and lots of busted knuckles.

Just ask me. I know how to piss away all your money on a 914.

So far I have been very successful in pissing away all my money I ever had since the kids moved out.

I've done it like 7 times.

Let's see:

1976 - 1973 2.0 Olympic Blue - Totaled by next owner in 1980
1981 - 1973 2.0 Bahia Red - Sold in STL with 100K hard miles
1983 - 1973 2.0 Black - Sold in STL in 1988 with 124K hard miles

20 year pause for marriage, divorce, kids and private school, horses and cars and college expenses

2008 - 1974 2.0 White - Sold to Michael in Irvine - Think he cut it up in 2010
2009 - 1973 2.0 Signal Orange - Sold to Hal in Palo Alto in 2012
2010 - 1975 2.7S 6 Palma Green Metallic - Sold to Patrik in Germany in 2011
2011 - 1972 -2.2T 6 Brown - Converted by THOMAS - Sitting in my garage
2013 - 1974 2.0 Alaska Blue Metallic - About to be repainted - Sitting in my garage

OOPS

That Makes 8

All of the above with one caveat:

SAVE the money and start putting it back together.
You are guaranteed to need more than $1000 in items that you havent even thought of yet......

My "Hey just $3600 for a race ready car" has turned into close to $10K....

Not a plus one, but only because I don't have a lift yet. I like the idea of investing in tools.

Having the right tool for a job can save you huge amounts of time and money and damage to your knuckles. It can even save your life. And a quality made tool will last your lifetime and that of your grandchild that you leave it to.

My next tool might be a press. It might be a lift.

It might be a beer fridge for the garage.


Other than that, save it for the weekend you drive the 914 to Tofino.

Invest your money in more penguin stock, not another tool on your property, I think you are the only a tool that should be on your grounds...
