Today I got a little done but not much.

Got the vacuum line hooked up in the engine bay.
Got the MAP sensor in place and the vacuum line it needed run.
I THINK I have all the vacuum hose barbs closed.

Tomorrow I took off for my last ditch attempt to get the car to Hershey.
There are a few electrical connections that still need to be figured out in the engine bay.
Also need to get the expansion tank back on and get gas in the tank.
Then its vroom vroom.... (I hope).

Dammit!
I'm having grounding issues. Cyl 1&2 injectors will not ground through the injector studs. And of course I have to pull a bunch of crap to get to them to investigate.

Everything else is grounding properly. I'm not sure what insulating those studs.

I was hoping to be going in my 914.
Events, as usual, have conspired against me actually getting time to work on the damn thing.
No one is going to be up in my neck of the woods til this evening. No reason to head up yet. Besides there is a big local car show near me this afternoon and it looks like I'll be able to go to both.

Sorry to hear the teener won't make it Zach. On the bright side, I see a lot of alcohol in your near future. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

Today I buttoned back up the expansion tank on the gas tank.

I also called and made an appointment to bring the car to Translog and let Tony finish it up. I hated doing it, but I want to actually drive the damn thing. I'll work on it this weekend and bring it to him for the final check, start and tuning.

Not having the car at Hershey really pissed me off this year.

Car is back on all 4 tires at least for the moment.
Injectors are in. The engine has oil I. It and nothing is (yet) leaking. Shifter is installed but not adjusted from the cockpit. Trying to find the rennshift install instructions.

Tonight I'll get the engine side fuel lines plumbed in, and hopefully finish adjusting the shifter.
If I get that done, I'll get the air cleaner housing in and start chasing wires and cleaning things up.
Last thing this evening will be raising the front end so I can check and unkink the fuel lines under the tank. Getting really close to first start!

Car is now at Translog for finishing. Dragged it there this afternoon and spoke to Tony for a bit. No idea when it will be up and running again, but its going to be sooner then if I was doing it on my own. I can only work weekends, and all my weekends are booked solid through mid June now. Tony got all my notes and I took some time to walk him through the engine bay, and trying to explain how it is all supposed to go together.

This is the really busy season for him, so I don't expect my car to be first. But I do hope o have it back by Matt's annual party in August. :-)

I hate that I had to admit defeat and hand the car off to get finished. But not having the car done by Hershey hurt, and I know this way it will be done right when it is done.

It's not defeat, it's bring in reinforcements - and soon you'll be driving. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

If it has a Trogdor sticker, it must be fast! It might also occasionally burn thatched-roof cottages, so you might want to consider that with your insurance...
