Hi Kim!

It's not too hard to take a 914 apart. Now the real work begins. Going to Dunkels? Am I going to see you next weekend somehow, some way?

Damn, but it's unlikely. I'd *love* to go, but there are many dragons at the door. Miracles could happen -- not quite lottery odds, but you get the picture.

I still have to swap doors on the passenger side and remove windows and door latches from both doors. Swap the front wheels and pull the front brake hard lines. I still need to remove the glove box door, lock and ashtray housing. But that's all. Nothing left after that but empty shell.

Just to document the glove box lock position.

In case you haven't seen the ashtray housing mounting (from the back side of the dash).

Hey gint, maybe a stupid question, but what's the final vision on the car? Full resto? Hot rod? Racer?

Not stupid at all Eric.

Mostly stock, but I'm no CW. The motor is already a warmed over unit. When this motor goes, the new one will be bigger. I'm installing a moveable passenger seat. GOing to get a James Woods shifter. I'll put in new hardware where possible, and I don't care if it isn't what the factory put in it. I'm not that anal. Thinking about carbon fiber on the dash front. If (won't be for a long while) I ever sell it though, it won't be hard for someone to CW the car and return it to bone stock. And they will not have to repair rust.

I want to drive the car. And enjoy it. I love 914s. It won't see rain unless I get caught in it, and it will always spend the night in the garage, but it will be driven - regularly.

It's kind of whatever I decide as I go along.

Ah. Didn't know you were changing the seating. Not that I disagree -- I'm debating many things about mine as we speak -- but I'm interested in what other /6 owners decide on. I'm switching sides blacked out chrome and many other things -- prolly a reaction to just wanting a running 914 (lol) -- so I'm following a lot of discussions on this sort of thing.

Why the change?

On my 70, I'm going to replace the fixed one peice seat with a fixed on its own seat.

I want it to be comfortable, so I'm going to try to wedge some bigger old leather seats in it. No backpad, I'll carpet the backwall.

Hawktel,

This is a dumb question, but have you "done time" riding in the passenger seat? I only ask because we brought ours down from Vancouver (BC) to San Jose and traded driving duties. I spent time in the seat and was surpised that it was not uncomfortable.

That said -- I loved the cabin in my '73. Symmetry has it's beauty.

Throw some sheepskins (not for the purist ) on them. Save the vinyl and they are really quite comfortable. Same old challenge about staying in the seat on hard corners, but good cruisin.

I want to do it, that's good enough for me. It's nothing that can't be un-done. I have a cherry set of seats, backpad and door panels from the 72 to put in this car. That will save upholstery costs. And I will save the original back pad and seats so it can be put back to original without to much hassle. I will almost certainly black the roll bar trim and the trim piece under the vinyl on the sail. Also the front and rear seal channels. I'm debating blacking the wing window post as well.

Bummer Dave. I was lucky and got my nuts off. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I'm also in the process of changing to a movable passenger seat. The biggest complaint I had about the fixed seat was the amount of wind, the dead air spot seems to be about 3 inches off the backpad.

Nothin like the smell of burnin rubber - In the garage. Mr. Torch got some exercise tonight. Sway bar bushings are "toast". It and the front brake hard lines are out, crap wheels mounted up. Nothing left now but hang a passenger door, strip door latch mechanisms from one door, and door latch/windows from the other. I should be rolling out of town Friday a.m. with my to-do list - done.

The driver's door is completely stripped. These early doors don't weigh squat when they're empty.
