Had to run out and grab some chemistry supplies, so I took the top off and cruised around the Walnut/Diamond Bar area.. stopped for a bite to eat, and drove into the sunset back to school. Not a bad evening at all (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Began the prep of a "new to me" 1974 2.0L for regular driving. Changed oil and filter. Verified the cooling flaps open when warmed up. Still trying to figure out of it is running hot or not.

Next up:

1. Take some pics
2. Install new sending unit and vdo gauge
3. Change tranny oil
4. Install new vacuum lines
5. Figure out the rough idle after engine warms up.

Hoping to get it sorted this weekend otherwise I might as well (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif)

I got some critical parts taken in the theft; car is starting to become active again and not a "boat anchor". Got a DME and front bumper which will allow me to get it running and licensing in Oregon; more parts coming thanks to the 914world members. Will soon have enough to put it together and start upgrading for the objective of final painting.

I had auto shop class tonight, so I drove the old 'BB' again. Finally got access to a lift and found a loose cone screw at the shift console. Took the cup off, lubed it and reinstalled it, tightening the cone screw as tight as I dared to (didn't have any lock-tite handy, so I hope it holds) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Also checked the front cone screw ... I can report back that all was OK there. Added a little grease to the shaft there too.

While still on the lift, also adjusted the clutch pull and leveled the front suspension (was listing on the driver's side a tad, even without my fat ass in the seat).

Cleaned out cylinder # 2's idle jet AGAIN. Why is this one jet always clogging? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)

Put fresh air in all 4 tires before leaving and it ran a lot better on the way home. It sure is nice to have 1st. and reverse gears at my finger tips again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Finally got sick of the noisy Monza exhaust. Ordered new gaskets and nuts and dropped off the original muffler at Finishline Coating for ceramic thermal barrier coating in a raw steel finish.

Are they dipping it (coating inside and out)? I'd like to do this to my (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) muffler too. How much are they charging you?

Well, I lost my nuts!

Seriously, no matter how organized I try to be, bagging and tagging, and boxing I still manage to lose nuts, bolts, brake stuff. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

I learned today, a good place to find metal objects is on the speaker magnet. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Installing my brakes lines.

Went to town and fill the tank up with 100% gas before making the trip to Okteenerfest. Should make it back before needing more fuel. Awesome fall weather! Mid-70's, ZERO chance of rain! Okay, I have jinx us!

Will be doing that tonight and heading to Okteenerfest tomorrow. I hope to drive hard enough to need gas before I come back.

If it rains, you have to wipe down everyone's car now that you said it!

Finally bought 5 tires (Kumho's), mounted them on the chromies. Will be cleaning suspension pieces as I install. Should be back on the ground by Friday, for the first time in over 6 years!

Fuel tank and injection parts will need to be replaced but have everything to do so (all new, except for the replacement tank). Getting ready to order Tangerine lines and will have to farm out most everything since I'm getting older.

Found this in a care package of 914 stuff given to me by a fellow PCA member who recently moved and was clearing out all his old Porsche junk.

Well, yesterday, not today, got her up on the rotisserie I built! Waiting for tangerine braces then she'll be there for some prep.
