Whilst I was getting greasy Eastside Plating called. My bucket of shiny stuff was ready. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

3 gallon, 60# bucket. $129.85. It will take a couple days to sort. Lots of new Winzer hardware that I couldn't get in yellow.

Doug, you ready ?

I got under my 1970 garage find today and was rather happy that the acid hole in the engine compartment looks minor from the bottom. The longs are in great shape. 15 years in LA did not screw up this car too much. Lover the mess under the driver’s seat. Broken driver’s window. Pulled the seats and trashed them for Garolds Tan 70-71 interior.

Need a new interior light.

Funny that these match books and recites are from places that I went to in the 70s. Living in L.A.

Yesterday I got up early and pulled the transmission out of Betty's car to replace the rear main seal. Got it all put back together by 2pm, and drove it to the gas station.

It only has one leak now. The speedo drive is leaking. Ordered the part from 914 rubber to fix that leak.

Gotta get her car ready for the trip to Helen, GA for Okteenerfest.

I just swapped the PMS fuel cell for a stock tank. Installed the charcoal canister next to the battery where the 4 banger comuputer normally goes. I also installed a stock 3.2 fuel pump. Much quieter than the gt3 pump.

I looked at the Patrick's style fuel cell....then found out it only holds approx 10 gal (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Stock is best for the street and a bit of track work in my opinion (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Finally got to test fit my suby engine that I bought from jrust. Nice fit. Did the lower car over engine method. Mounted casters on cradle to roll it into position. Worked slick.

1st time playing in the garage for almost a month and it wasn't even my 914. Had a good time wrenching on it, a little nervous with the brand new paint job!

Yes, this is a real /6, not original motor however....I think he said a destroked 2.7? Fun to drive and shifts perfect. Took it to redline a few times today.

Work done? New Porterfield brake pads up front, had problems with rear which I will be making another thread on.

Well not today but on Friday. We cleaned the seat belts in the 1970 Garage find 4 that I bought. Bruce stone told me how to clean the old belts. Interesting that the seat belt receivers are dated 1969 and 1970. Car date is 6-1970

The water was very dirty. Soap up and wash twice or in till the water is not black, then rinse twice. Hang till try.

Yup, washed them that way! You can crank up the spring tension on the retraction before you rewind the belt too!

Early cars, up to (I believe) half-way through '72 with the non-moveable passenger seat had non-retractable belts. I'll have to try Bob's method on our '71's belts at some point in time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

After a few weeks putting my new (old) bug around, I decided to drive the /6 around to knock the cobwebs off of it.

WOW. Fricking rocket ship.

Got the ignition lock for Elwood out of the car and had the locksmith cut a new key from it. I also had them make a key with only one side cut. That key is for making new keys, and it will never wear because it won't work in the car. They also cut the two new Porsche blanks I bought.

Still waiting on the engine mount so I can pull the motor and replace the seals.

Also waiting on the driver's window track. It's in transit.


On the Igor project, I found the flywheel I need to work with the clutch. Now I just need to order it.


Finished the oil leak repair project on Betty's car. Everything is dry... for now.

Waiting on the CFR oil pressure boost piston kit.

My being unemployed has been good for the 914s.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
