Drove mine for the first time, albeit only on my cul-de-sac. But it feels good to move it under its own power after 4.5 years! I'll spend most of tomorrow finalizing other things on the checklist as I move toward licensing it and really shaking it down...

Finally installed a fine mesh wire screen in front of my oil cooler. Took me 6 months until the mental (not oil) light when on.

Installed four new CV joints. One was so loose I could rotate the axle back and forth a few degrees in each direction!

This is the 2nd time I have done the CV's on my car. What a greasy PITA!

My daughter gave me a Ebay gift card for Christmas. I used it to purchase new front turn lenses and a new stock shifter knob. My old knob's face was cracked because I used to wear a ring on my right hand and I guess that is what caused the cracking? Free shipping! I like Free! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Well I didn't do much, but I thought about my 914 today. Made a list of goals for 2013 including waking it from its very cozy year long slumber, installing SS fuel lines and finally putting those damn sway bars in.

I know! That was my thought too this morning. It's about time I messed that place up with some Porsche projects.

Took my nephew, Jeremy, on the New Year's Day run this AM. It was a little chilly, but he said he it was fun. He's ridden in the car before, but not a fast canyon run (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Picked up a new HF 20 gal. parts washer this evening. Great sale price - $80. AND with a 25% New Year's Day discount coupon brought it down to only $60. Thanks to Joe (KaptKaos) for the heads up! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)


We did some more rust removal on the '72 yesterday. Almost done with the driver side (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Dang, that car is looking good. If the body is that nice, just clear coat it and be done with it. Would look awesome!

I pulled the gear stack out of the car today. Pretty painless altogether; I was sure I was going to encounter more problems. It's going off to Dr. Evil for a set of freeway cruising gears. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Here's a couple more pictures of hershils gearbox. I epoxied a huge neodymium magnet under the gear stack. This magnet will pick up particles down to one angstrom.

I am also converting his tail shifter into a side shifter. And being the CSOB that he is, i had to reuse the old nose cone. So it got chopped and plugged.

Recieved my Urban Outlaw merchandise from Magnus Walker in the post. So washed my new T-shirts, and stuck a sticker on Violet. A hard day in the garage (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I guest I was bored. It shows that it is not centered because of the angle of my camera , but it is perfectly centered.

i cut windows in an old jacked up trans case so now i have a nice jig to adjust the shifter forks for smooth operation. since i havent got my pinion depth tool back from the machinist i will adjust the differential bearing preload.
