I picked up new seals for my Boxster tranny from Parts Heaven.

BTW, did you know that Parts Heaven sells parts to AA? I saw the invoice today and got a good laugh. Maybe you guys should call PH before you call AA?

Drilled out the nut plates that hold the rear deck lid in place. Put some new bolts in there and tacked them in thread side down. My deck lids are notched, so I can loosen the nuts on the underside, and slide the deck lid out very easily now. Don't know why I didn't think of this sooner!

I can add some pics this weekend.

Watched Joe (KaptKaos) drill out the nut plates that hold the rear deck lid in place and put some new bolts in there and tacked them in thread side down. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Jeremy and I cleaned up some 912 engine tin and heater parts (I hot-tanked them and Jeremy bead blasted them).

Received some packages containing 914 parts and tools from a few different members here (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Finished some basic air boxes for the throttle bodies yesterday
Was goin to have a snorkel type opening as the 356 and 912 did but went for a test drive as they are now and they sounded fantastic
Have no induction noise at cruise and similar to open when the throttle is planted
Planned these as more of a rain shield than anything as we can get sudden storms that I didn't want to have filters in the open for
Simple to remove as its just the wingnut and they slide off leaving the standard filters in place

Please excuse the sideways photo. Am without a computer for a while and these are straight off the phone

Refurbished my stock sun visors - and kept them stock! Made a topic with pics and description since a lot of people have been asking about this. Hope it helps. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

R and R front trunk seal after cleaning out old gunk, treating rust, and repainting. Got the seal from Stoddard and it fit like a glove, and with a bright light in the trunk, in the dark, no light escapes - finally water tight.

Also placed a Dry-Z-Aire thing in the cabin to remove moisture to keep it from smelling like the old funky car that it is.

Took some pix, showing how to rig a 914 for drive train removal/installation if one has a narrow 4-post lift.

This is the ... 'end result' ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Cut some foam for the windscreens. The mounting screws will hold them in place and they will stop vibration.

I took my rear 5-lug rotors off to have a friend machine a few MM off so I can install my new Eric Shea rear brakes!

Put mine on jackstands again and disconnected everything. Plan on dropping the engine next weekend. Then need to do a top end rebuild.

Sump gaskets arrived which meant that the sump extension kit I got from jonesy went on
Fitted easy on my test engine but the oil pickup on the one in the car was really tight. Ran a 12mm drill through the bottom of the oil screen to clear the mounting bolt

Cool ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I hot tanked and blasted some 912 engine tins and the doghouse. The weather is supposed to be nice and hot for the next few days, hoping to prime and possibly paint the stuff in that time frame.

914 content: Stocked the shelves with some parts that were delivered during the past week.

Stripped the rest of the under coating off the bottom and did a few other things to hopefully to get it finally to get media blasted.
