That looks really nice.
I installed the chrome exhaust finisher on my Ben's muffler. I sent the stock 914-6 finisher to Ben and he stretched it on his expander pipe muffler machine and then he welded 2 nuts on so I can secure it because stretching it eliminated the indentations to hold it securely to the pipe.

I then applied a nice coat of carnauba wax to the car. Going to take my son to lunch tomorrow and want to take the Six.

I adjusted a front wheel bearing that was a tiny bit loose, took maybe 1/4 turn to get it where it should be. Getting the cap off the spindle to get to the nut was a bit of a pain in the butt. I had to hit it multiple times with a hammer (I wrapped it in tape to prevent catastrophic damage) as I worked around it and finally it came off. Once that was off the rest was easy enough.

Then my brother and I took it car shopping for him; he is looking for a toy. That was about 60 miles and then when I got home my wife wanted to go for a ride so I was happy to oblige.

She said the seat was very comfortable (I updated to the adjustable passenger seat) and she said it rode very nice and ran good. Although she said if she drives it she would not be as mean to it as I was! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I really do not drive it hard at all. But I do drive it.

Total miles for the day was about 100. No issues to report. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Reinstalled a Frankfurt (mono) that was recently restored by Oldtimer radio, and added a BlueTooth receiver... went for a cruise listening to Amazon music via the Alexa app.

Replaced all the seals above the doors on Elwood. That #$%$^#% front targa seal is a %%^#$@. (just keeping it family friendly). I took my time replacing them, I want them to fit tightly.

Now that I have all new seals in, the drivers' window does not come up far enough to reach the seal. I have to tear the door apart and fix the regulator. I was already planning on doing that, as I need to clean the latch assembly.

FYI.. It was 109 and humid out there today. :melting:

The wife & I washed the Cayman and did just under 150 miles in it today - up Pacific Coast Highway to Oxnard, grabbed a bite to eat & drove back home on the 101 Fwy.

All during the trip, all I thought about was our 914 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

It must've been a Friday afternoon... drilled the welds out, turned it around and rewelded it so it wouldn't drop off my jack when I lifted it!

Well, this was done yesterday. Pulled my tank and installed new SS lines. Who here has a discerning eye here?

Pointed towards the driver's side, rather than the other way around?
