Bah, can't do it in the garage. Can't get in there, driveway is only 10 feet long or so an on a hill. I didn't leave it there for long like that. But I can install an old washing machine in the front yard and toss a tranny in the tall weeds along the side for that homy look

Would you also clean an engine bay (sans engine) with a pressure washer. I'm a little reluctant to get it wet for fear of filling the longs. .... ??????

But the ability to get large swaths of car clean without going through 50 cans of brake cleaner is quite appealing...

I would definately pressure wash the engine bay. You can tape off your heater tubes in the longs. If they fill up with water, just jack up the front and it will pour out from behind.

I found this out when I pressure washed the gas tank area of the white car, which water went down the heater tubes (tape, I didn't to that), and when I jacked the car up a day or two later a nice puddle of water came out the back side.

Now that's what I am talkin bout! Just let the chickens run out front for those special occasions. Funny thing, the last thing we moved was the chickens (in their coupe in the bed of the truck), followed by a paintless 914 being towed. That is when the neighbors started to get worried.

Oh wait, the very last thing was the 1969 chevy pickemup with a camper, that should have been the final scare. But that thing only has 7,000 miles on it - no joke. Girlfriend got it when her grandfather died, he was the original owner. I thought she was telling me it had 70K miles on it, till I hopped in the cab and saw that it was still new!

Nice and clean... I have to get all the rubber tire boogers out of my car wheel wells.

Where can I get the rubber lip for the spoiler? I dont need the spoiler , just the lip

does it hold up at over 100mph?

That's a flexdam, I have never seen replacement rubber for it. It holds up to at least 80mph? so far. I am probably goin to remove the rubber in the future. There is a channel piece of metal that screws to the spoiler and the rubber slides in the channel.

I pushed mine over 100mph once (along time ago when I was young and immortal). It held up fine.

think I got mine from PB Tweeks, but that was back in the late 80's so (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

Whomever makes the flexdam spoiler makes them for a number of cars, if one could find the manufacturer, I bet it would be a snap to locate the part.
