Ok...some success and some setbacks. Today I fabbed my brake pad pins. Mounted the tires and took it for a test drive (see pick...daughter had to go with me on my maiden voyage!). Looks like I'm leaking some brake fluid. Rear rubber brake line is leaking and two calipers are leaking alittle. To dark when I discovered this so I'll tear into them tomorrow and thursday. GPR is overnighting me some brake lines (those guys are great!).

But, I took it for a spin around the neighborhood and man it was fun!

I'm also surprised as I did a "rough" front wheel alignment and the silly thing tracks darn straight..still going to get it aligned real soon.

And...for anybody needing new tie rod ends...get the turbo units..what a difference they make!

It's looking better for taking the trip in the 914! But, if some unforseen events take place I will make it to meet you all..just might be in either the 911 or the 928.

Jim

Dudes! I'm psyched to be able to join you all and be in the presence of so many nice looking 914s at one time!

See you in a few days!

Update on getting my car together:

1. the brakes lines were leaking...I should have replaced those old rubber things when I ripped the suspension out..duh! Anyway, GPR overnighted me a set for the front and rear of the stainless steel ones...installed them today and so far so good...still need to bleed them again as they are too spongy (friday morning chore!).

I also replaced my shift lever as it twirled around and pulled out at will...so that is done. Put in some more interior pieces..but still no dash or stereo! And slid in a new speedo cable and angle drive (would be nice to know just how fast I'm going!).

Task for tomorrow...another shake down run..and if I have to choose between the dash and stereo...I want some tunes!

Hello all,
I and my son are still going to try to make it to the WCC. We are going to try to get the engine and monitoring in prior to Sunday so we can join the group. If not, well.....

wish i could be there, but we wound up getting a killer deal on a replacement car for Joy so we're off to VA tomorrow to pick it up. in The Big Picture, it's worked out for the best. (and i'm getting increasingly concerned about the 911, so tomorrow's 6-hr run could well be its last hurrah. glad i'm not committed to a 1500-mi weekend, all things considered - makes for a long unhappy expensive tow ...

y'all have fun, and i hope to see at least a few of you at the Fall Foliage Run. we -will- be attending that one - but almost certainly in non-P-car mode ...
