I bought a set of wheels for the teener! Should have them in a week. I've been wheel less for 2 weeks and have missed some beautiful weather. So a nice set of 16x6 fuchs are on their way . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Sweet! I have a hard time driving a car w/o a passenger side mirror. They look nicely balanced with both on.

Picked up some C2 wheels with almost new tires for 425. They were on Ebay and the seller was 10 minutes down the road- I texted him and an hour later they were mine!
Oh, and had my knee replaced on Wednesday...

What are C2 wheels? Pics? (of the wheels, not the knee, but good luck with that).

I've downloaded the '914 Engine Removal Made Easy' pages from the Pelican site. It's a national holiday on Monday (so called King's day) and that's the perfect moment for a quiet day under the 914!

I'll keep you guys posted - with pics, off course!

They're from a '92 964- he'd replaced them with some Speedlines that look really great with his black car, tan leather interior. Good deal I just happened upon.

Alas, my car sits most of the time as it's not really streetable and I have not been doing as many track events lately as in past years. But today I did actually touch the car! First I popped-out the door that some $^!@#* caved-in with light contact at the last event I did.

Then I installed this sweet Wevo shift knob. I sure hope I like it cuz I think it would be impossible to get back off! It's a crush sleeve type and very tight on the Rennshift shaft. I usually prefer set-screw knobs.

Installed the brass shift rod coupler bushing after my other one disintegrated completely. Had it in for state inspection Thursday, which it passed, but maybe the mechanic didn't know how to shift a teener - he may have manhandled the shifting. Not long after I got it home I suddenly only had two gears. Pulling back the rubber boot on the coupler and nothing but crumbs fell out that had once been a bushing.

Getting the pin out was a MAJOR PITA! A couple of days of heat, PB Blaster, multiple failed attempts with vice and hammer. Wow. It finally broke free in the vice using the floor jack handle for leverage.

Picked up a "free" 1.7 of unknown history, the PO tried to turn it over by hand, but it seems stuck pretty good....I got it mostly for the engine tin and accessory bits....I am supposed to be buying a 1.7 from McMark and I think it is missing the engine tin and some other bolt on items.


The wife and twins went along for the ride to pick it up.

Luckily a neighbor was around to help me get out of the truck and place it on the welded up poly box

I took my targa bar pad off for the first time today. I bought restored rear clamps from Bruce Stone, and replaced those. Everything came off, and all of the new parts are installed. Actually, the hardest part is putting the pad BACK ON……………... Seriously, that was the real challenge.

It almost cost me....see those white towels on the left side? Guess what?

I forgot I put my girls white sweaters in the back and placed the motor right on them....yep...dirty and greasy!

I walked into the house and showed them to my wife and she just said "let me spray them and see if they come clean?" She got them clean and I didn't get yelled at!

Met up with 6Freak and then drove to the meet the other PNW Teeners before going to the Porsche Car Show at the XXX Drive-In. Overall a good day.

This pic was taken at the end of a community airport, just a plane came in for landing.

No 914 stuff today … grabbed the boxes of stuff out of the Ghia to see what all came with. Bought some small parts we needed on the Samba and still researching where to buy some new rubber seals.

One of the headlight rings isn't correct, and I found a rusty one in one of the boxes.

Attached Image


Don't ask why, but I spent a half hour sanding it with 150, then painted it with silver rustoleum (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif)

It actually turned out OK - it'll do until I find a nice chrome one (no pic yet - film at 11) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)
