Looks great! Match looks perfect in the picture, I am curious as to what paint brand did he use? My painter did sample 4 before getting one they actually matched the OEM Copper Metallic.

I’ll ask Art; I know he starts with the L99K paint code; and, he had done various other panels and parts over the years with the same perfection.
And, I had him paint a brand new LE valance for future installation

Fixed about half dozen electrical issues: bad power relay for wipers, horn, etc.; parking brake light, fog lights wired, some bad grounds made good.

Feels good to get things working. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

I was driving the car yesterday and finally got tired of the sticking fuel level sending unit. Ordered it yesterday morning arrived this afternoon. Took about 45 minutes to switch it. It will be nice knowing I’m not going to run out of gas now!

A neighbor & friend just got a job wrenching at a Classic American shop. They have a 73 914 1.7L for some reason, that they haven't been able to get running. So I've been on the phone helping him work thru the problems so he looks good for the boss (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
He stopped by after work today and I sonic cleaned the injectors, showed him how some of the FI operates, and lent him my Haynes manual.

I also did a few minor things to Project:IceGreen

Picked up a real nice painted rear valance from John ( @johnc ) and got to see a lot of the projects he's working on.

Nice to run into another local VW/P-car enthusiast.

Installed passenger side rear-view mirror. Made a pattern from the drivers' side, flipped it and drilled from the outside (I couldn't get my hands, with a punch, and a hammer into the door cavity to mark from the inside). This was the most stressful thing I have done to this car. Soooo worried about getting the holes wrong. Drilled a small (very small) pilot hole, then gradually larger. My pattern was slightly off, so I had to use a small diameter rat tail file to finish things up.

Loosened all brake caliper hardware front and back, ordered 4 calipers and all pads from PMB.

Entered my VIN (finally) into the database. Apparently a user named "deano" used to own this car (or at least made an entry with my VIN into the dB)?

Got the new LED Pilot light lamps in that match the 914Rubber LED headlights and the fogs no longer melt the fuse. Success. Then....drove it!

Removed front bumper and valence. Going to detail the fog lights, clean everything up, and I have a new/used/better condition valence to reinstall. Look at that beautiful OG Raveena green that lives on behind the valence! And, of course, none of the hardware is correct for the bumper or the valence...

Anyone know where I can get the correct hardware for bumper and valence mounting?

ALSO I did finally get my brakes bled last night!!! now I don't think I have a 100% hard pedal like before , so I may have to bleed them again. had my daughter pump the pedal for me, I thought I had speed bleeders so that I could do this myself but didn't seem to be working so just did it the old way, but it really didn't take that long. on my test drive I was able to lock up the brakes with full pressure on the pedal so I think we are close. no leaking from the new 914rubber master cylinder or supply lines. new fittings are good to go!

Not a damn thing. I'm here in Florida for a stay and the 914 is in Ohio with the engine out. Removed it after we got back from Octeenerfest and fixed an oil leak or two or three. Awaited Tangerine Racing remote oil cooler set up, arrived after I left for Florida. Can't wait to get back North to do this install

Now with a winter house here in Florida maybe I need a second 914, interesting thought.
