Felt bad for all my old friends back in the midwest buried in snow so took the '73 out for a drive after putting on new tires. The old tires were at least 20 years old and drove like bricks...Attached Image Attached Image

Installed the intermittent wiper relay and harness without removing the gas tank. Used a set of long forceps and lots of patients! Found the wire harness and relay on eBay for $72.

Finally getting to the hood and fenders, but have to deal with welding the hole from the PO. Why do people put these badges on our cars!

Yes, 16X6, off the front of G body 911. Perfect for 914 with upgraded hubs. 205/50/16 tires of which there are great choices.

Nice! You'll love the delayed wipers. My 914 has them and around here with light drizzle so much of the time, delay gets used a lot.

!@#$@#!$ changed the !#$!@#$ accelerator cable on my 6. PITA. Under the car, in the car, under the car, in the car, contort, contort, contort, remove console, carpet, open little hatches, contort, get ahold of cable, contort, fish it out.

Installation is reverse of removal. RIGHT. Cable doesnt want to go in easily; once in, contort, cut fingers on sheet metal, contort more, in car, under car, in car under car....


I really disliked this job, but the old cable was broken in back and frayed up front. Was a matter of time.


Thanks for listening...

I feel for you. I used to be able to crawl under the dash and get into the pedal box area without thinking about it. Now I dread having to get down there for anything. Then I hurt for a couple days afterwards. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Pulled the drivetrain out of the Six for degreasing and maintenance work.

The engine is covered in de-greaser in the pictures. I finished cleaning it last night. I cleaned the heat exchangers too.

I am going to do the timing cover gaskets, adjust the valves, replace the plugs, fuel filter, air filter, and the fan belt. I do the fan belt every time the motor comes out. It is much easier to do it when the engine is on the ground, and fan belts are cheap.

I found that is is easier to remove the motor for stuff like this rather than fight the limited space in the engine compartment.

I also found that we have a split CV boot on the right inboard joint. So that will get fixed as well.

Getting him ready for the Texas Hill Country rally in March!

It's been raining pretty good up here so my car is hibernating in the garage.

get some 20x30 prints of those pics and put them in your office/man cave/living room. That is one nice looking 914!!

btw: my 914 has full tread 30 year old Michelin XZX's on it. These were the tire to have 30 years ago. It's a shame the car never ran any miles on them...I will be replacing once the rebuild is a little further along.
