We’ve decided to open our home to some needy parts. They do have a sadness about them, but we’ll brighten them up. Thank you Mark for the extra goodies I found in the tub I didn’t expect.

Get to install these finally. @mepstein

Thanks!! After a few long drives and a year of tweaking, the car drives better than new and with the BlueTooth attached to the DIM even the music is pretty good.

Here are a couple of more shots.

Looking at the picture we are going to replace the first gen 914 rubber visors with an NOS set.

Reconnected the linkage arms with new cone screws. Filled the transmission. One question: how the heck does one get the rubber boot that goes over the front/rear linkage knuckle joint onto the firewall? I fought with it for 30min then ended up splitting it at the rear end.

Parked her in her trailer for the night. The drivers side rear disc is dragging, I may have to adjust the venting clearance.

Drove the 74 about 80 miles tonight. I live out in the boonies and I took her to the gym.
I love the raw drive the car gives me. Every once in a while I'll drive my wife's S5 and it's a sweet ride but, even though it's a 6 speed manual, it's still very very refined. The 914 lets you feel what you're doing, and it feels SOOOOOO good.
I can't wait to get the 75 finished. We're doing the final wiring of the lights and dash right now. Then the interior and it's done.

A little slippery after the rain, so had to take it easy. Fun, though.

Been grinding down the 8 small rust spots where the sail meets the body and one on the front right corner of the panel in front of the windshield.

Met with expert restoration body shop owner to evaluate his painting my 14 back to Malaga Red - he is backed up for a year, so I got my name/car in line.

He looked at my ground down rust spots and gave me very good news - the rust is not deep, and not from underneath. Very shallow he said. Really good news. While he will take care of it all in the restoration painting, I want to get all the rust out now so it doesn't continue. Even tho the car will never be in the rain and is always garaged. I'm gonna do temporary repairs to each spot with Eastwood's Rust Converter and thin layer of bondo, sanding smooth and hitting with L31M Scarlett Red touch-up paint that I have just to keep the car looking decent until next year's paint job.

Also glued back on the button for inside rearview mirror that had come off......need the real glue - Super Glue does not hold for long.......
