I remounted my cv's using mickey914's bolts with safety wire lock. Leveled the car on jack stand to fill up the transmission with fresh fluid. While I was there, I noticed that the nut on my alternator was missing and the belt was so loose. (I must have been dri ing like that for a long time). I also reattached the clutch cable .

I'm hoping there isnt much rust left to be removed but i know i'll find it.
Floorpans off and hell hole open.
Rear suspension mounts need to be changed too
Ed the aero is pretty stock now. Had bigger injectors reg and apc but now I just run standard and slight boost mod on APC. The injectors were needed in the 914


Everytime I feel overhelmed working on my teener I jump onto this thread and think it's not so bad. Thanks for the motovation (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) this car is driving me to drink!

its like that old saying.... how do you eat an elephant? one bite at a time..

I've been crazy busy lately and the 914 had sat covered for way too long. It was a beautiful day in Calli and had the day off so I gave the car a complete wash and wax, then took it for a drive. Oh my gosh, it's amazing how you can forget so quickly how fun these cars are to drive. I had a ricer follow me on this frontage road on to the freeway...I was just waiting for him to make his move (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ...I think my eagerness to accelerate hard through the 180 degree freeway entrance turn made him think twice about what he was following...showed my poker hand. Dang it. It's always fun to see some hot shot's face when a four banger (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) hands him his lunch. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

It's the other way around for me, Mark - I always got a kick when a VW with a 4-banger whooped the snot out of a V8. That's what got me into VWs to begin with back in the 60's (Iguana, Inch Pincher, Lightning Bug, etc.)

Took Betsy out for a drive before lunch. After lunch I am going to put the battery in Christine and take her for a drive. Then I will drive the Boxster over to where I have Delilah stored and take her for a drive too.

The Inch Pincher is what got me into VW's and their potential! That car was awesome! I saw it take out a Vette and was sold! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Yesterday took my brother and nephew for rides in the white car with the new 2056....so fun.
Then we pushed the yellow car in the new shop, put the black car in the garage with the white one.

Today start pulling the rotary out of the black car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)

Replaced the thermostat, then modified my Arm rest console to accommodate a sub woofer, cup holder and USB charger.

stuck some vinal on my top. then put on the top latches and interior piece. then found the latches i was suposed to put on! So instead of taking the pad off i switched out the latches with it in place. That was quite a trick

Spent two-three days removing tar crap on interior floor, then did some under coating removal in the front wheel wells, finished off today removing the head lights, covers, eyeblows etc what a nightmare, everything was seized, corroded, screw heads stripping and popping off. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pissoff.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) One thing that was good manage to get them working, relays, motors, lights before I took them apart, but it was so seized up the motors had issues lifting the headlights up.
