Mid-trip inspection... nothin' wrong but brake dust noise. Wheels back on and drive. Turns out the guy behind the counter at a local FLAPS had had both a 924 and a '74 914 in the past. Wishes he hadn't sold the 914... never heard that before.
At the same time a 944 drove up and the National Guard guy who owns it wants to go drivin' after he gets off of work tomorrow afternoon.  Sounds like a solid plan. |

Got the 2258 from FAT Performance hung finally. First time I've ever done an engine drop or install in one of these cars. What a PIA. There is no room at all in the engine bay of this car. I will buy a scissor lift and go to a full tube frame if I ever need to drop this motor..
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/lh3.googleusercontent.com-2075-1372298289.1.jpg) It's nowhere near ready to start, but I put it on the ground just to see what it looked like on wheels. It's been on jackstands or a shop dolly for almost 2 yrs. This is the only pic I have for now. I'll take another when the lighting is a little better in the garage.

My son Nolan and I drove the /6 to the Palo Alto concours at the San Mateo expo center. A white 1971 1.7 and a red 914-6 were on display. Nice cars all around. I also picked up a certificate for an Audi driving experience at sears point at their silent auction. I now have to pick up a second one as my wife, Kathy, want to also drive the track. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif)
The red car had the rockers and both front and rear valances powered coated with a satin finish that looked great. The owner had a guy in Lodi fix the car as it was once hit on the drivers side and needed a lot of work. Great body and paint work.     |

Not a damned thing. Cursed heat wave. I did do a bunch of good reading for the Suby transformation and got to HF early and pu a $34 engine stand. It will be worth the $$ just to be able to rotate and access the bottom of the engine when fitting up motor mounts.

Mounted my 73 steering column to the 70 tub. Lots of cutting and grinding in the heat and humidity! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif)

Performed work inside home where it's nice and cool!
Part 2 experimenting with Garold's gauges, now in color!!! I'll do a write up on how to do these in the near future for those that want to know.       |

  Pretty much any color you can think of, can be obtained by a simple button on the remote. I'm taking this a step further, no matter what color you choose, I'm building a control that changes the gauge color to yellow at a certain RPM then to RED at redline. I also have a special input for low fuel that will turn all the gauges to red when triggered. This special input can be configured for anything, low fuel, thrown fan belt, or even wired to a radar detector! |
