I was busy playing host and worrying about my car, so I missed them, but there were Carnival rides in a certain members tricked out 914 handed out to all good little girls and boys. I won't name any names here to protect the innocent and guilty alike, but many exhibited a similar smile upon their return.
Now I just need to rack down a good passenger side suspension console.
I think I am going to tackle it myself. The motor is out, battery is disconnected and tank is empty. Sounds like it is time to do a bit of welding. Maybe party # 2 will come sooner than expected...

If the reproduction is good, I will go with that.

I really wanted to come this weekend. Glad I didn't. Blew a rear crank seal today. Oil puking bad. After 70 plus thousand miles on my raby inspired 2056 I think it's time for a refresh.

I could have ordered two. I picked one up to put in the motor going into my car, though I will not need it for a while with the whole rust repair thing...

Here is another pick I took that includes our host and awesome cook. He's the one without a wrench in his hand. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

It really was a great time, we definitely need to do more of these!

I am surprised how little I got to work on my own car. I was busy playing host, chasing parts, and in this picture I am actually holding a light for Clay. Despite whatever level of expertise I may have, I am sure that I did more good holding a light for that man than I could have done with any number of wrenches in my own hands.

I have plenty of project left for another party,

http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?s=&...t&p=2268121

,but I don't want to hog all of the fun. I am happy to play host and I love t BBQ for friends, but I know that of all the owners there, only one of them drove his 914 while the rest are all off the road for one reason or another.

Maybe we can do a repeat next month, either my car or somebody elses. We could go the weekend before Christmas. Thoughts anybody?

If that was Clay Perrine, you shouldn't have needed jackstands. He's so short he could have walked underneath it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

What a terrific group of people that showed up to work on Bryan's car! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) Some of Bryan's friends from other car flavors (Lotus, MR2, Cayenne, Ferrari, 928, etc.) showed up to play too (horror stories were being swapped the entire time). Methinks they might have been sucked in by the free food and beer... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) What an incredible group of Gear Heads! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)

It's gatherings of the faithful like this (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) that makes me SO freakin' happy to be owned by a Teener. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif)

I am pretty sure that I can say that when Clay works on the car he has 4 hands. Two of them attached to a (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif) who was ready to help whether the job was dragging a motor onto a pallet, a search for the 13mm 1/2 inch deep socket, or somebody to get really greasy cleaning up a set of motor tins. I have not gotten a chance to see it, but I hear she is quite a hot-shoe behind the wheel of her own car. A car which she and Clay left at home needing attention so that they could come over and help me!
What a lucky guy Clay is and how lucky am I to have finally gotten a 914!

I'm up for another round, I had a good time. I don't know about December, but maybe January.

I'm seriously thinking about hosting something in the near future. My car runs and drives. But the engine runs poorly. That single carb and 009 distributor gotta go. Add in some oil leaks and a muffler replacement and we got at least a half day of fun. I don't know about BBQ, but I do own a pizzeria...

yep a great group and a great day
I agree with 76 this kind of thing is what makes this such a great group and that camaraderie is one of the reasons I took the plunge and got my car -I knew I had the support I needed if i hit a wall
we all talked about doing similar more often and we should!
I know at least 3 of us (myself included) are running plastic fuel lines maybe we need to plan some semi-regular fuel line swap parties? it's said it can be done without dropping the engine...
anyway great time can't wait to do it again and maybe host one myself in the future
