Drove to the office on Wednesday before realizing they had salted the roads.

That's very pretty Bob -- nice pics!

I'm now a disciple of your salty road philosophy. Fortunately, they haven't laid it down here yet this year.

It's always a sad day when the teener goes into winter hibernation.

Finally got it registered and got plates on it. Drove it all over with the top off.

Beautiful car. Bring it down to Arizona and you can drive it all winter. We need more green 914's in Arizona.

Jett,
You can bring yours as well. It's not the same green but it is gorgeous.

Getting to the end point on the Tangerine Racing remote Oil cooler install. Well engineered and it looks as if it will solve all of my high temp conditions noted this last Summer OR maybe it was a mis-calibrated oil temp sender. In any case I'm now committed.

Had to remove all of the original thermostat/cooling items such as the flappers, thermostat bellows with cable and oil cooler. The Passenger side cooling path has been cleaned up and will now push the same volume of air as the drivers side. No more higher temps on the passenger side due to oil cooler placement. Yes the engine had to be removed and I took this time to adjust valves and clean up some oil leak areas.
Remote system incorporates a thermostat in the oil network so warmup is quick and controlled. Also includes a fan to force air over and thru the cooler.
Need to finish up with the wiring and oil lines and of course top off the cooler before engine start later today.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Arizona and sun sound like good ideas (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

btw. I might have a set of re-chromed (from G-Car) foglight grills, if you are looking.

After having this kit on the shelf for a long time I finally found the time to recover my seats.

Engine quit running on Nov. 10th after running like new on Nov. 3rd with new .060 idle jets and getting carbs dialed in...have spent hours searching for cause because ignition is all new. Today discovered bad dizzy stuck in 27 deg. advance - no wonder she wouldn't start. One spring missing......

Weighing my decision on new dizzy & Pertronix ignitor, dumping points....

Mounted a washer pump, put a heater fan splitter and new hoses on, removed the backpad and re-glued some of the leather around the edges, prepped new seatbelts for install tomorrow, installed new outer window scrapers and plotted an approach for more tomorrow!

Betty and I took Igor and Frody to Maverick Region PCA for cars and coffee yesterday morning, then on to the toy run in Plano, Texas. We took both cars home, I put the new Mahle Gas burners on Elwood, and we went to the Maverick region holiday party. We had 9 914s, including Igor and Elwood, in a display at the Grapevine Porsche dealer.

I was outside talking to a guy looking at the display, and when I walked back inside, I found out Igor won best in show at cars and coffee.
