Well - here is my list of stuff to finish before the FFC04.

Reinstall side marker lights
Set idle speed (running 1300rpm at idle)
Fix front dash cover
Install new door seals
Check CV bolts
Check Tranny Fluid
Decide what parts to take for swap meet
Install 914 Club sticker (duh)

What has everyone else got left?

I know Sean is still working on brakes and sway bars (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I've got a list!

1. all 4 wheels brake rebuild (done, in the bleeding process but damn bleeder screws (new) leak around the caliper.

2. pedal cluster build (since I'm putting in a new clutch cable and have the console and stuff out..better do this to).

3. new clutch cable

4. hook up all the hoses for the fresh air vents in front

5. change oil

6. maybe hook up the heater control boxes and hoses in the back?

7. shift rod bushings (all of them). Found the cup one in the back didn't even exist!

I'm going to be busy!

Jim

p.s. fixed my hard to open trunk..i tied a piece of bailer twine to the latch and shoved it down inside the front bumper pad... when I need to open it i just pull...hint hint on the new front trunk cable stuff!

I've been asked to help out with claims in Florida. I think I managed to convince management to give me a stay until Nov. 1 by offering to work claims down there for 6 to 9 weeks. Usually 3 weeks is average for a rep.

Progress on my list of to do's:

1. pedal cluster all rebuilt (also stripped and repainted it...POR15'd the area around it)...man the original plastic bushings were really worn!

2. pulled out the clutch cable...about 6" back from the clevis pin thingy the cable was frayed and hanging on by about half of it's strands...I'm lucky

3. brakes are all on and rebuilt..but leaking around the bleeder screws (new ones)...I keep cranking down on them and checking

4. installed all the fresh air vent hoses

Tomorrow is another wrench day!

1. Pulled engine and tranny out of the 912 with the father in law today.

2. Tranny goes to Brad monday for a rebuild.

3. Parking brake gets repaired and brakes re-bled. Maybe take tires around the corner to get balanced.

4. Brad comes with tranny and helps me put it in :-)

5. Attend FFC and show off my 912 that Brad put a week of blood, sweat, and tears into!

Sounds like a plan, no?

Funny you mention that Jim, Julie & I were just talking about that during dinner. We can leave anytime after 4pm, we have to wait for MIL to get here to watch Nathan. What time were you planning on leaving?

edit: what route are you planning to take. We are taking 94 to I65 south to Columbus.
