Well, it certainly was a long weekend. I'm glad to get back to work, so I can get some rest. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I worked on the /6 this weekend with Pam's help. Accomplished:

- Underside of floorboards scrubbed clean with drill and wire wheel. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
- Inside floorboards scraped all the tar and cleaned.
- Painted top and bottom with POR-15.
- Installed Bill Greenway's trunk shock kit.
- Replaced speedo angle drive.
- Rebuilt pedal cluster, painted with POR-15. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)
- Painted pedal board.
- Replaced bushings in 914/6 throttle linkage.
- Replaced fuel lines with steel in center tunnel, cleaned under the gas tank. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif)

I found a few rust spots... So there's a bit of welding in my future. The bushings in the pedal cluster and throttle linkage were absolutely non-existent. Because of the new bushings, I had to readjust the clutch and throttle. They're still not perfect, but it's driveable. I was just too tired to screw with it anymore.

After all this work, especially to the throttle and pedal cluster, the car drives completely differently. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
