QUOTE(Bucci @ Apr 12 2021, 07:35 PM)  I pulled out the bailing wire clips for the 2.0 L FI airbox and sent them out for cad plating. Receive them back and proceeded to install the renewed clips. Looks good, but now the air cleaner needs powder coating (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Black semi gloss lacquer paint for the O.E. look. I’ve sprayed the air cleaner housing once in 20 years. |

Took receipt of the 'Rear suspension console repair fixture "kit" that Chris @tygaboy offered up, so I can assess and hopefully return HOWARD's rear suspension to normal.

Keep us in the loop if you will, our '74 rustout project needs attention with these rear consoles.

Led the vintage group in First Settlers Region (FSR) spring fun run.  Here's a high-level picture of the route:  Just under 70 miles in around 2 hours. Too bad we had the only 914 at the event...but a great day with some great cars--like Kevin's recently restored 911:  |

past two days, busy with other stuff, but pulled trans yesterday ,found a cracked transmission/muffler hanger ear , today i got the gear stack pulled and got the original 4&5 back in. i knew i needed a better 4th for the mountains and the 5ths was soo tall it was bad for cooling, great for highway miles. i considered making 4.th a W rather than V, but just KISS put it back to OEM.
gearbox can go in the car tomorrow, but i need muffler hanger—- unless i get one of Ben’s Sport mufflers!!! Attached thumbnail(s)

I can't just sit back and wait for you jack-stands to entertain me with interesting/funny/sexy post and pictures. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) So, I took responsibility for my own 914 fix.
It was my day off with a low 80's forecast. Plus, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) I have money to buy gas. I set out to do one of my absolute favorite things . . . find a highway I have never been on before, with any excuse for a destination . . . and go looking for an adventure. I expected a pleasant drive to Nelson Ghost Town. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) I was rewarded with a delightful Roadside Attraction.     |

So as my 914-6 is a '71, it came from the factory with the headliner in the top. Somehow I missed that during the parts order. When I actually looked up one time when the top was on I noticed it and then ordered a headliner from 914Rubber. Today I had the opportunity to install the headliner. Thanks to the postings of others before me, and the pictures they posted, this was a straight forward, easy task. I would say 1 hour start to finish.
The funny thing was I had a heck of a time locating any of the 3M Super adhesive everyone talks about. All the typical places were out of stock. I was able to source one out of state and it cost me almost $20 for shipping..... Oh well. I was glad to receive it and get this project checked off. Yes, that is me, the old man, in the pictures. When did that happen? Now tomorrow I will install the latches and the top pad.       |

OK, I tackled one of the things that I did not like on my car, the K&N air filter modification. I just thought it looked like it belonged in some other kind of car- a Civic maybe?
My brother and I spent 2 days (yeah, we are slow at this stuff) fabbing up the mounts and pipe to install the NOS 3.2 airbox I bought. I am very happy with the fit and location. My next evolution is to send out a piece of SS 3" pipe, modified just like the 3" aluminum piece currently installed, to have it powder coated satin black. I think that will look more proper in place.   Attached thumbnail(s)

@Cairo94507
that new air so looks great! i couldn’t get any 3M adhesive here in SC either looked foe a couple weeks. it’s one of those weird things, but being from MN and knowing the crap that’s been going on up there o wonder how al that has interrupted manufacturing. there is a3M plant in my hometown and they make a lot of that stuff there, covid has not been a man issue there for a long time either so maybe it’s in the distribution chain where the problem is...... anyway your headliner looks great- that car is just amazing! |

follow up to post #14308 a few days back,
my transmission is back in the car, the CV joints are reconnected, so is the starter ans wiring , ground strap etc. this has been an experience, and hopefully it all works . shift linkage is back on but i am seriously contemplating the Tangerine rear dual bushing shift bar . right now i want to get it on the ground and tested out before i do that. I have to thank Dr. Mike aka Dr. Evil for the video instructions, and Al Meredith for loaning out his tools, thanks guys!!!! so now i am patiently awaiting my muffler from Ben! in that arena we’ve been discussing the O2 sensor location, looks like this will work, not interfere with the muffler hanger, HE, or the oil cooler and transmission mount...

Steve -
GREAT PIC of you, your bride and your beautiful 914 - just wish I could have been there like last year. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Wait a minute! NOT your wife! Is that Peter? But alas, I have yet to get my engine back in. Hopefully by end of May - then let's drive!

Had to media blast my engine bay with a soda-type media to get the horrible black paint a PO had put on carelessly.
Yesterday had to wash it down good with water for new (original Malaga Red) paint to stick. Soon to paint the engine bay and put the renovated engine, new alternator, powder-coated tins and much more back in. Can't wait to get her back on road. GN |
