Well, I haven't updated in a while... Re-did my dash a while back with felt, and was really pleased with how it turned out. Also bit the bullet and bout a new set of wheels... I've had my black cookie cutters on for 4 years now, and wanted to upgrade.. I love the minilites.

I have also been thinking about minilites. I never really like they way looked on MGBs which I was into for many years, because they looked too sporty on them, but they do look right on 914s.

BTW, what size tires do you have on them?

Transferred my windows off the 1973 tetanus victim to the 1970 Tub.
Had to fab some bracket areas. Smooth action Now....

Had to make a template off the new regulator. Then mark bolt holes on old door.
Open up handle winder hole diameter to 1-1/8". Scribe the bracket, cut and weld on.

Putting a 90 bend on the edge of the bracket for strength

After a year on the rotisserie, it's still on it, but I picked it up from the body shop today and brought it home.

Body shop still has the rockers, duck tail, LE spoiler, and rear valance but it's here and almost ready to start putting it back together.

Well she started right up after sitting still for longer than I want to admit. Beautiful day for it, 83 and sunny in Portland! She needs a tune up, but other than that she's ready to roll. Moving her to a new garage next week, looking forward to some summer fun!

The spare 914 in my back yard had not received any attention for well over 914 days.
Today I threw away the old top cover and tarp. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif)
Attached Image

Much to my delight, all 4 flat tires are holding air.
I cleaned up the accumulated leaves in the back corner, dusted off the car and took it for a spin around the block. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
Ok. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bs.gif) So I just sat in it, played with the controls and made vroom, vroom sounds.
Attached Image

The old base cover is now the top cover, with 2 new layers underneath.
It should be safe and secure for another 3 years. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yellowsleep[1].gif)

Installed 140 pound rear springs and did the initial install of 914Rubber's fiberglass bumper tops. Found out my front bumper is not straight and I need to find another, but the fg bumper top is great!
