Your car looks terrific with the mini lights and the Fuchs. The only very minor change I would make is to add the side marker lights back to the car. Regardless of that, it looks terrific.

I always told myself that I wouldn't just throw fuchs on becasue everyone else does, but I've got to say, I like the look of the black center 16's on the car.. and they were cheap with good tires.. Hard to beat that.

thanks

I would say slightly better. Did you use the side emitting led flex strips? I wish they sold that style in RGB LEDs, as they do a better job illuminating.

My Auto Shop class started up again this evening. I removed some old tires and cleaned up a set of wheels that will be shipped up to Nor Cal tomorrow or Thursday ...

I wanted to get the brake dust cleaned off before shipping, but leaving it up to the new owner to perform any additional 'detailing' as he sees fit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Gave up on trying to fix the hell hole myself and called Milt aka Zeke.
Took two Saturdays to fix, but my hell hole is finally done. I'm glad Milt makes house calls. He was a pleasure to work with and I learned allot by watching him work. I highly recommend him.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)


Well, working with Steve was a pleasure too. I used his Miller 140 which we had some problems with the first day. Make no mistake, that is a very nice unit, but it had the larger liner in the torch lead for .030 and .035 flux core wire. I didn't think to ask him about the set up but the the drive feed was jerky using the .023 solid wire.

Steve purchased the smaller cable and installed it in the lead. Made all the difference in the world. What you see in the pic is a combination of welds done when the problem existed and some after the fix.

I can tell you that I prefer all areas to be welded to be bare and blasted if possible. Especially if there is/was rust (and when is that?) When you are MIG welding and the arc traces over some rust left in the pores the arc stutters. It's very difficult and gives a good reason to use oxy/gas when you can. But, that's hot and slow when you're under a car or inside the engine bay.

Weld thru primer is not a favorite of mine either. It conceals what the metal really looks like and it does make the arc more difficult to maintain. All I can say is Steve's car is not going to fall apart. By the time he hits some of the poorer looking welds with a disc and sprays some rock guard in there it should look pretty good.

Thanks, Steve. We had some good conversations ion between all the racket I was making.

I drove the 'BB' to a gun shop in Fountain Valley today (bought some parts for a new AR build (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) ) ... all freeway miles, but it was still a good 50+ mile round trip, with somewhat minimal traffic to deal with.

Good thing I decided to take the car, because it's been sitting a couple of weeks and almost didn't want to start up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) ... got a good battery charging (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Spent over five hours on the 914-SHO today. I started out getting the engine bar and motor mounts positioned so I could spot weld them in place.

Those gauges sure look nice! Are they the bayonet socket LED's or the flex strip?

16' look sweet on the 914 - just the right size. Nice teener!
