Cons
1. Dizzy went bad = $100 + Core exchange
2. Tearing/Cleaning (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) out the interior and found all this gunk on the floor boards
3. New Carpeting = $100
3. Too many to list = (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) $ ?.??

Pros
1. Found just about $7 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) worth of change underneath the driver seat
2. The roar of the engine and it's just a BLAST (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)
3. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Driving a 914 = PRICELESS (not talking about the wallet)

Guy's, don't fight the shift rod front boot. A bit of light oil, and it'll slip right on.

Replacing a master cylinder with the gas tank still in the car.
Those f%@&@^ brake hoses coming down from the top. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)
Trick is to instal the hoses in the m/c first then install the m/c.


Also the steering rack is a bitch to re-install.

You guys already got most of the good ones. During reassembly of my -whole- 914, these were the things that I hope never to do again.

- reassembly of defroster vent/controls

- reassembly of headlight mechanism

- removing undercoating (anywhere)

- any sort of welding/grinding/heavy metal cutting (removing -4 motor mounts, installing GT stiffening kit, etc, etc)

I like electrical work... It's the one thing that to me seems simple to diagnose and makes sense - either it works or it doesn't.

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'll 2nd this one.

My worst task is convincing myself I DON'T need to drive it today. It happens everyday. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Oh, I guess spending 16+ hours and consuming a case or so of brake cleaner while cleaning the engine after we removed it this summer. By "consuming" I don't mean drinking it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Oops, can't forget fitting that little friggin' piece of engine tin that goes between the cylinders and pushrod tubes. Especially remembering you need to do it just after fitting the tubes in place.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

And FUTURE worse task will be replacing my alternator? It's making noise. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Least favorite task on 914? Don't hate me for this because I wrenched on my cars for years.... but my worst is having to harass the shop that does my repairs (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) !

Adjusting valves with all the heater ducting in place.
Chasing oil leaks
The whole process of getting to the defroster duct:
- drain gas
- pull tank
- pull duct hoses witout screwing them up
- pull fan housing and getting to the clip and cable retainer WITH OUT SCREWING THEM UP
- Figuring out how to fix the fucking thing
- getting it all back in place


All this is forgotten when it blows air in 3 speeds without rattling like it's going to go into orbit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif)
