Once I get it home and off the trailer I'll slap the gopro on it and take it for a spin around the block

Rick,
Awesome metal talents. With McMark moving away from the west coast we lost our metal magician.

And she's back on the road. Drove it to work today. I had to renuild a rear caliper and replace a brake flex line on the other side. Lost a lot of skin on my knuckles doing the latter.


Attached Image

I still have a few loose ends, but nothing serious
-steering wheel is off about 30 degrees. Easy 2-minute fix
-transmission is leaking from the square plate at the very back. My plate is presumably warped beyond seal ability so I'll have to grab on from a spare tailshifter I have laying around.
-need to chase a valve cover and sump plate leak
-install passenger seat belt
-drive it a lot

I hope to put some miles on it this weekend. I'll post a few more pictures and perhaps a video

Possibly. I have a conflict right now. The new facility is beautiful. I was there last week.

Fixed the tranny leak tonight (I think), adjusted the clutch cable and gave the car a bit of a polish tonight. I'm looking forward to driving it to work tomorrow.

It's close to fifty degrees today and sunny. No better reason to pull the 914 out of hibernation. Quite an early start for MN, it's inly a short window. They're saying it might snow tomorrow ...

Great looking car. Just finished blasting a set of cookies today just to get that look.

I was never a fan of cookie cutters in the past, but man, those look good!

Adriatic Blue is the best 914 color.

Can we take up a $ collection and get "iwanta916-4" a car? Poor guy.

It seems he keeps missing out on the local cars here. First a yellow one that one of my employees bought last year and the tangerine Craigslist special from a couple days ago here in Minneapolis.

Glad to see someone else giving the cookies some love. I had mine plastidipped to a twotone gold/silver combo but I might actually make it permanent with paint. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
