I just finished reading other threads and can guess what car this might be. Very nice!!!! No pics available yet because I won't receive it until next week or so. (Hint).

Driving home I thought I was driving without a windshield! So Clear! Also replaced the windshield to dash rubber seal with rubber from 914Rubber! Hmmm (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Total cost was less than $300 which I thought was great considering how hard to find 914 windshields. windshield ... or a flux capacitor You can always go back in time to get an original windshield, then readily in stock for a lot cheaper with a flux capacitor. or even go back to avoid driving behind that truck that sent that piece of gravel flying toward it. flux capacitor saves money. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Oh yeah - you can also go back to 1973 and load up on 914s for about $5K a pop, store them and drive-release them over time! You'll always have a brand new one! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) Go back and rust treat my longs would ya? |

last few days iv been fixing up my rear valance. covered up the factory cutout and made it dual out so i can run glass packs right off the bus headers and welded my cookie cutter tips on the ends. That all came out very nice until i mounted up the bumper. aparantly i didnt shape the body contour to match the bumper nice so there is quite a gap. well i shaved the bumper spacer in half and ground down the rubber top a bit so i could push the whole thing in a little. got it lookin as good as possible.

My targa top was flaking and peeling from 40 years of use. (See last picture) Scotty B said to sand down the targa top smooth with 80 grit sandpaper which took about two hours. The cost of Line-X application which included fade resistant coating was $175.
Now I got to replace my sail vinyl because it looks faded next to my new top!

It's Rotary'14 ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif)
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Bought my brother a shelf unit and helped him organize a portion of his side of the shop ...  Looking better, but there's much more to do (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)  Taking a break from uh, 914s - started work on my '66 912 Salt-Flat racer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)  Need to drop the drive train for an engine swap and tranny reseal. Pulled the generator, carbs, oil cooler and doghouse off so I don't have to raise the car too much.  ... and then a brake upgrade - new dual circuit master cylinder and calipers. |

... Later that same evening (well, actually, early the next morning) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yawn.gif)
This booger was rusted onto the front head pipes. Didn't want to cut it off, so I've been spraying it with PB for a couple days ... and with a little persuasion from the other tools you see here, finally get it loose (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)  A nice big pile of tin stuff to clean up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) ... I'll let my nephew deal with this when he comes back up for Christmas break (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)  All ready to unbolt and drop this greasy turd (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)   |

Man-o-man, that's a clean undercarriage, collins (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)
Tom, it's a 312 T-bird motor. My brother has the front end apart now, contemplating a power steering and disc brake conversion. I'll post a pic of the matching 'Westerner' travel trailer that he's currently working on. |
