Here is a clear look from the seller picture ad last week. Moises have a running 75 copper metallic and 76 for parts car. A very nice guy, he even delivered to me yesterday the driver side after a minor repair done by his upholstery guy. I picked up the passenger side last week a few houses away from where I bought the 71 1.7 MS last sept. The seat has a different vertical pattern compare to original but I do like it since it has more ventilation on the seat and back.

I purchased some mirrors from another 914World member. The glass in one was broken, and the other wasn't in great condition (I knew that when I purchased them).

I disassembled the stems and cleaned up some internal corrosion, since they wouldn't swivel. Work perfectly now.

This afternoon I had a local glass shop cut me some new mirror glass. They look great! [Still not sure that they look better than '73 Mustang mirrors though.]

A set of mounting base gaskets are on order from 914 Rubber.

I picked up my powdercoated gas cap tube and mounted it to the spare filler surround in preparation H for the pucker punch thru the front hood..... I may have to rely on Larmo for the actual drilling as his experience in pucherage proved to be quite successful when he did his drilling.........

I was finally able to score an additional roof for my car last week. Yesterday I installed a bike rack and kayak rack. The roof still needs to be painted, and after the drive home with both racks full I see that I also need to add some bracing across the inside of the roof for the kayak. But here are the pics, I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. Any yes, the kayak is longer that the 914.

Not sure if I would trust those latches with all that weight, inertia, and aero drag.

It does look cool though.

Drove it. Had a family function to attend, the wife was insistent on taking the teener... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) OK honey, whatever you want. .. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
On the way home she suggested taking the Ocean parkway
OK honey, if you insist (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

That's the Robert Moses "pencil" watertower. About 8 degrees cooler along the beach. Ran great, a beautiful day

Again, sorry for sideways

Yeah, I am going to go back in and add bracing, tighten up the latches, and devise a better way to tie down the kayak. I don't plan on using both racks at the same time normally. This was just a way to get the toys to the house. It was only a 7 mile trip.

Finally got around to putting on my new rear brakes from PMB, by which I mean: I finally got the damn retaining screws out of the old rotors.

I worked on the car over the weekend. After 2 years of it being apart I finally got it started. Next steps, adjust clutch cable, get insurance and drive it again.
