I started fitting up a front valance last night (the first time one's been on my car since I've owned it - 2006). It wasn't mating up at the front of the right wheel well. Found evidence of previous repairs that weren't completed, so as I was straightening out the fender metal, I smacked the shit out of my left index finger with a big hammer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif)

Center and final aluminum dash piece done. (Decided heater controls are no longer needed)

Just need to brush and clear-coat.

No pictures, but I replaced the speedo cable, angle drive and fixed a stripped bolt that holds the speedo drive in the transmission tail shaft on Betty's 914.

I also put in fresh gear oil, changed the oil and replaced the backup light switch pin so the backup lights work again.

Last autocross season I was a little hard on the front valance and rocker panells. I hit a few cones kindof hard and ripped three of the mounting holes out of the front valance bent up the right side rocker panel cover.

I spent some time fixing the rockers and dug out a spare valance I had. With a little (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) and paint they all look great. Mounted them back up on the car yesterday.

A nice sunny, dry winter day here today. I tighten up the front wheel bearings, check the oil & tire pressure, clean the windshield and then took him a for a nice 30 min drive. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Afterwards my wife helped me push the 74 project back on the lift. It will now get my attention again.

Took the car out for a short drive and got some gas before the price rises even more next week. Almost $50.00 to fill up. At least it gives back more smiles per mile!

I was kidding, Clay ... I just wanted to get you to post a pic (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)
I took mine apart and cleaned 30 some-odd years of crud out of it, and THOMAS did the extra O-ring mod to the upper sleeve (before going back to the Fatherland) ... no more leak (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Looks good Matt. I found your muffler, cat and Y pipe and some more... You can almost piece it back together... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I cleaned up the garage a little today after the 914 breakfast. Almost ready to get the car under the knife...
