Last night, I removed the passenger side carb to pull it apart for cleaning. While cleaning it, I had a few beers, and decided that I'd install it in the morning. I went out, poked around, and found a rag to cover manifolds. It was good enough to at least keep any bugs out. It was a nice clear night out.
I bolted straight up out of my sleep this morning to the sound of a thunderclap. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) Grabbing a towel to wrap around myself, I ran to the kitchen for a roll of tinfoil. It had just started to rain! I ran down the three flights of stairs outside, dressed in nothing but a towel, to cover the manifold with tinfoil. It was definately a way to wake up without hitting the snooze alarm 3 or 4 times. Damn, I miss having a garage! Time for some more coffee.... -Rusty P.S. Can we get a coffee icon? |

Mueller - you know you think about me in my towel... :loveletter:
The ONLY thing running through my mind... "Hydrolock... oh shit... gonna break a piston or rod... hydrolock... oh damn..." Repeat ad nauseum, until the manifold and carb are covered in tinfoil. -Rusty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif) |

My 914 has never seen a garage, the whole thing has been built outside under a swp meet canopy. The garage has my other previously completed project car and the Boxster. I'd love to have Mikey's play pen. In another life I suppose. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
