Well, keeping out of trouble and staying busy moving more stuff out of the shop to AZ ... making the third trip on Tuesday (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

The 16 y/o kid from Manhattan Beach picked up his new toy the other day. This is going to be a nice father/son project. Good kid, with a 3.4 grade average, and really knows his SWB 911s and 912s too.

... so with the '67 912 gone, the shop is starting to look a little emptier. The building owner asked if I would be interested in selling him the D7 lift. He offered me $2k for it, so it's his now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ... I can have a brand new D8000 lift delivered to AZ for less than $2k when I get all settled in (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

At home, we tore down the 20 year-old Arrow metal shed that was sitting on the slab behind my garage a couple of weeks ago and bought one of these tanks to replace it. They dropped it off on Friday and we got it into it's final position just minutes before it started raining (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pat.gif)

We moved some of the car parts (that need to stay here in California) into it this w/e ... still have a bunch more to move, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) ... but looking good so far.

I even tried to make it look a little more 'neighbor friendly' on Sunday (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I'll feel happier when I get everything moved so I can get back to a normal life (if that's even possible) and start working to get some of these cars in running condition again ...

Cool. Removing the stickers and painting it to match the house might help disguise it too and go a long way towards neighborhood harmony.

Actually, the neighbors are OK with it ... it looks nicer than the old rusty shed. Most of them were aware it was coming too.

Some of them thought we'd never get it squeezed into the spot though. Two of my neighbors and my wife and I got this behemoth positioned after the driver rolled it off into the alley ... we utilized the pipe roller method to move it into place

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/riversonghousewright.files.wordpress.com-7300-1457982390.1.jpg)

It's freshly painted, but we weren't expecting the sticker on the door. Maybe I'll get some magnetic PORSCHE &/or HARLEY stickers to cover it up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Pulled the gas tank last weekend and put her up on jackstands.

Finally after sitting on my workbench for a while now, install:

1. Turbo Tie Rods

2. Finalize the fresh air controls and rehab.

3. Stock sway bar install.

Hopefully done in a week or so.


Thanks Jason at Parragon for the expedite..... nice guy and 914 guy all the way.

This should take care of the suspension for a while.

Then.....2056.

It was slow today so I knocked off early and went for drive on my little back road twisty. As I came around a sharp left turn a Mountain Lion ran across the road about 200' in front of me. I stopped immediately to take a pic but could not spot him. I know that I was within 50' of him but simply could not pick him out in his natural surroundings. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) But I felt him looking at me so I moved on. Screw the pic. I had my top off. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

LOL, inside joke. A SoCal Lion is accused of midnight snacks at the Zoo for those not local to the area.

Those are probably my favorite aftermarket wheel for a 4 lug setup- just looks cool!
Oh yeah, and Irish Green on St. Pattys - Nice!

I bought a spare roof for the 914 a month ago with the intentions to paint it and match the car. All the while keeping the stock black textured roof as a back up for originality.

Thanks! The AM Racing wheels will soon be replaced with a set of Pedrinis . . . these are a VW offset and really limit my choices when it comes to replacement tires.

You have yellow bulbs in those headlights? Are those Hella H4's?

A PCA region friend found this picture from an old PCA tour back in 2002 or so... my son had scared the crap out of his girlfriend driving my red '71 (real) 914-6 while I tried to keep up with my '71 silver car in the background...
I know, I know, should have kept that car!!!

But I did take my '73 to a local cars and coffee at the Penske Musuem in north Scottsdale this AM- kind of a small crowd- no other 914's. Rarely see another one show up...Attached Image

Well, not my car but... Installed flares and test fit a custom by Harvey W. "deep 9".
It comes right to the edge of the flare and looks sooooooo nice!
