dont know how old the post is? or how long ago you may have sold your car now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) but i am also in the 914 learning process. electrical gremlins, rustoration, trying to figure out how to make a 40 year old volkswagen motor with oldschool FI run perfect. i still need to do a valve adjustment and intake runner/throttle body seals, but other than that the tuneup is done excluding things like draining/filling the trans. right now i have to find a short that causes magic smoke to appear near my alternator when the battery is connected.
anyways the point of this post is to say that i also live in pleasanton, also have a girlfriend that doesnt understand (though she accepts), and might be of some help with your ride (or i should be able to point you in the right direction). pm or email me (monkei@juno.com) if you want to meet or something. i actually have a garage (too full of crap to do work in right now) and a huge amount of unorganized tools. |

little busy to be designing 914 parts with the whole 40hrs of work and 4 classes a week thing....
any free time has been going into scraping the crap off the floors for the great wirebrushing cermony and selling stuff i dont need for the project. my plan is to put fabrication skills into the car at a later stage, when i have a bit more experience, long after rust is completely taken care of. like when i design/build a tube frame chassis for it. i really want to make this a 200mph+ car. and ill gut it as far as i have to. i just want to take it slow and do it right. after the rust i start researching chassis reinforcement. before that though, id like to get my car on a rig and measure/stretch/straighten everything before i start laying welds. as far as the machine shop at my disposal; i dunno. you need something made? i've been trained and can run the 3 axis mill (Mazak) pretty well. I could also run some stuff on the bridgeport or the manual lathe (we have a nice one now). I taking machining this summer, plan to bee doing a lot of grinding/heat treating/carburizing etc. when it comes to a lot of things, often times its much easier to buy it than make it. id much rather |
