Well today is a sad day.
I had an appointment to the garage d'o install a thousand dollars worth of parts on my recently bought 914 for my 35th birthday.... Also I wanted them to check for the strong fuel odor since I got it out after the winter. Today it was the first really hot day... 19 degree C and it was sunny. I took the car out... 5 miles of slow driving.... I hear a strange "glurp" while accelerating.... I look back, there was smoke, flame ... I park get my girl to safety, I found water... I extinguished the fire.... Before the firefighter arrived....still they gave the engine bay good rince. I towed the car to a nearby garage... I think there was still something to do with the car. I put a cover on the car and I go home. 6 hours later the police call to tell me that my car was on fire...again. I and the firefighter did not think about disconnecting the batterie.... Probably a spark.... I don't know what h will do. Attached thumbnail(s) |

Sorry I was slow. I'll get the relay board w/cover, spark plug wires & the warm air blower out tomorrow. For Chris I also have your WCR shirt, license plate & Key chain (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Sorry Chris (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) The blower can be installed after the engine is in. We can come up with a relay board. The cover can go on later. Still short on plug wires though. I haven't seen a good used set around the shop lately. |

Hopefully they will show early next week. |
