It sounds like you guys are enjoying every year that passes by. Finding a good shop buddy is a rare thing, I'm a little jealous.

And by the way, I really appreciate the time you take to document your builds. I refer to your threads all the time.

Your both Welcome.

I've always believed a picture is worth a 1000 words.
As for my writing skills, my brain moves a little too fast for my poor typing skills.
Mentally I've finished a paragraph, but I've only typed half a sentence. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Like I've said before. My primary goal is getting as many of our cars on the road as possible.
There just too much fun to drive ...............

Today will be some me time. 1. Walk thru my tool needs at my new job. Meeting at 10am. 2. Oil change on 914 DD. Finally installing tuna can. 3. Start designing computer monitor hanger for my new to me 55 inch computer monitor in the shop. Mom and step dad are getting a new one. Only expense will be building hanger and the HDMI cord. 4. Maybe a little grinder and cold galvanizing in my DD trunk.

I was out running around working on my new job tool box. Super In Law dug the summer range forge out of the chicken house. He had it all refurbished by the time I made it to the shop.
This will be used to heat up the suspension tie together plates. Making then easier to form.

Picked up Doug's 914-6 project this am. We'll need to do some construction/redecorating. Super In Law is going to build a wooden super structure to store/house body parts as they come off cars.

Front Hood
Trunk
Engine Lid
Top
Bumpers
Valances
Doors
Rocker panels
etc.

Here's Doug's car upon arrival today.

Week #1 of the new job.

Day #1. Stripped a 80 SC Targa of all usable/sell-able parts.
Day #2. Begin conversion of a forward dated 69 911 caged race car that will become a 73 RS clone.
Day #3. Help with the preparation of 2 Cup cars that will be raced at Infineon this weekend. Then back to my conversion project.

Don't pinch me, I don't what to wake up from this dream.

Today was basically a shop tidy up day .....................
Got my new shop PC set up and running.

Now I can order parts from the shop. Windows 7 on the old clunker wasn't getting it done.

Then went back to hole that needed to be patched in my DD rear trunk.

Time to try out my birthday present. Miller MIG welding goggles. I bought them primarily for wheelhouse and floor pan welding. But I thought I'd give them a try.

Very impressive .....................

While I was working on the car. Super In Law started measuring up the flat work we'd like to do in front of the shop door.

Covered up the primer on the tail panel with Glacier White. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) . I'll get a couple spray cans loaded when I re paint my car.

Weekend starts with a session a Dad's Garage.
1. Diagnosis failed MASS airflow sensor on the A6. Changed out 4 year old fuel filter.
2. Cut in new terminal for left headlight.
3. But on the drive home I find that both electric fans aren't working. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) I wouldn't have caught it except for we got stopped for 20 minutes for paving work.
4. Today will be spent pulling and testing parts .............

Parts testing :
Both fans run fine when tested with 12 volts. Both Maxi fuses are good so we ordered a Fan Control Module. Super In Law is going to dig into the A/C fan and give the motor a couple drops of 3n1 oil. Rock Auto'd everything but the hardware. Ordered them from ECS.

Feels kind of weird not posting the days work every night. Should be back on Mark's car on Thursday.

After 3 weeks I feel comfortable enough to post where new new place of employment is.

Attached Image

Being the new guy I get all the dirty work. I'm tearing down an 89 C4 that will become a Bastos SCRS rally car replica.

Attached Image

Attached Image

Dropping the 964 C4 drive train is just a bit more complicated than a 914. LOL.
914, 40 t0 50 minutes depending on the CV bolts. I've probably done it 30 times.

964 C4, about 6 1/2 hours the first time. I have another to do after I finish this one. We'll see how long the second one takes.

The team was laughing at my expense at lunch. Let's let Cary do the 993 Twin Turbo engine drop when it comes in. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

If you thought I was tool poor before. Holy crap you haven't seen anything .............

Cary - Cool job Congrats! You'll get the 911's down quickly. They are a little different from 914's but pretty similar to each other. At least up to the 3.6's.

Tool poor - well, that's why snap on takes payments. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

All my work on 911's has all been on G bodies. Did a couple small projects on a couple F bodies. The 964 is all new to me. Pretty much the same. Just a lot more stuff.
Nice thing about this car is that its a complete strip. Including wiring harness. So I get to touch just about every thing. Some of the crap in the front trunk I don't even know what it is. LOL.

Biggest issue is we sell all the take off stuff on Ebay. So I have to bag it and label it.
And not break any connectors. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) This car is only 25 years old and the connectors are starting to harden.

But it's all fun. So much different than 30 years of managing people.
Start at 8. Take a complete hour lunch. Then all of us in the chassis shop are usually out of there by 10 after 5. Weird .............
Oh yeah, home in 8-10 minutes. Life is Good ................

Short Episode of Tool Whore .....................

If your in the market for a magnetic work light this is the one you want.
Snap On. $79 and its rechargeable. No batteries. 3 times the light of anything I've had in the past.
Bought two for working at Rothsport. I'll buy a couple more for my shop.

Super In Law project. We're heading to Home Depot for lumber.
He unloaded two bays so we can build dividers and shelves. This will allow us to dismantle 3 cars and have the major body parts stored without stacking them on each other. Then 3 sets of shelves for the trim pieces. Should be kind of cool.

Matt (Mark's bother) wants me to do a dismantle. Then send out for paint. Then reassemble after paint.

All cleaned out and ready to go.

Making progress. I'm thinking each car will need 3 totes too.

The upper shelf will have a 3 shelf section for trim pieces. Here's my extra pile.
