We just transplanted that big saguaro and since it doesn't have much in the way of a root system it needs support for a year or so so it doesn't fall over. They are VERY heavy and if it did fall over the driveway there is no way a couple of people can move it!!

I took some pictures of Carerror. She is street legal.



Wanna do a pool on how often I get stopped.

Hmmm.... define "Street Legal".... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

Lights, horn, insurance and registration.
She got all of that. No heat.
I'm going to put a sandrail on the street.

All it needs is lights and a horn. Everything else is paperwork.

I am excited that I have finally earned the right to post on this thread: my first mod without assistance (other than advice from 914World members)

I replaced my wobbly old hex bar linkage with a CSP linkage. I have Dellortos, and I used the kit for Weber IDFs. The instructions for Weber were slightly wrong for Dellortos and there was one extra piece I didn't seem to need.

In the process I pulled the carbs off the manifold for the first time and noticed that the vacuum ports were wide open, not internally sealed as I thought. Discussed with previous owner, who had no idea it was like that. Current plan is to connect them to the 123 distributor and experiment with vacuum advance.

Working on my V8 /930 Trans set up in my no rust 74 Blue car. It has been a long time but I got the body back at a 90 to the concrete and worked the plate where the Willwood peddles and short Willwood masters mount to and had to refit the holes (file them open to fit) . The set up is Duel masters for the Boxster brakes and one master for the 930 Turbo trans. Next up it to break out my welder and try not to get burned. I have had this project for 10 years or so. Time to get back on it.

I want to thank some of the guys that do not post anymore for helping me with ideas on my car. The 914World members are the best.

A new arrival in the shed means that we had to get a little creative with storage space. Might be able to got for a ride soon after all.

I got around to emptying all old and new brake fluid out of the system and replaced the master cylinder. I've got pressure in the pedal and holds it but i'm going to bleed through another 500ml and see how it feels then.

I also replaced the leaking push rod tube seal and hopefully the rocker cover seal will also stop leaking (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Finally straightened and rewelded the exhaust heat shield.

Put in an order for a set of trumpets for the idfs at last, tight fisted s o b!

Now looking for a set of and style of wheels that i'm happy with.

Here is where we are going. I am happy to have my trusty assist Albert. The truth is at 65 I need some help with odd fitting to work on my cars with me. It works much better with someone to help. He looks out for the odd spark from my welding so we do not burn down the building. Bending is not my big suit anymore. It used to be I could hang upside down and turn a wench. Been doing that from 16 on. Time takes its toll.

Fitting in the pedals and welding the steel because it needed to be longer. Rather than drill all the holes in new metal I lengthened it by ½ inch. Just ran out of welding wire so I have to wait for a couple of days for Amazon to drop it off.

So the triple Master cylinders will clear the rack this is where I need to be. Short Wilwoods

Tired of cleaning the darn /4 case .... so time to start putting this puppy together. Found a spot in the garage to mount the holder.

Now to find all the parts that go into it!

Also did quick polishing job. Will be cranking up the mill the next few nights for my backlog of small items to make.

Got a metal stick with some metal pieces you can hang on it. Damn thing was expensive just as a parts hanger. Might be able to cook weenies with it.
