So far: my head stud. You know the story... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Well I have some pain in the ASS head stud thats just wierd. Its shorter then the rest of the studs and it just wouldnt come out. I had to buy a head stud puller that would work, but aaron's man hands finially got it out (i wonder what he does to work them out???). Now I need to find a new/used head stud so I can finially adjust my valves and start it up!

Apart from rust issues... <_<

I think the most irritating part to get out of the car (let alone put it back in) is the window venting system under the front cowl

I've ripped out the power windows, the power mirrors, the stereo system, and all the crappy wiring that was already in my 914 when I got it. Everything was great for about a month, then I went and short circuited something somewhere and I still can't find it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Least favorite would probably be replacing a rear quarter panel and getting it to fit right. Everything else has been easy, time consuming, but easy.

Just did that yesterday. I decided I would just leave it hanging, but of course I crawled back under the car and fidgetted until it went on. It is a pain in the ass. Valve adjustment is a pain, but not as bad as I thought it would be. Strange FI problems top my list so far.
