Got so excited that I started removing some easy interior pieces/parts for about 1 1/2 hours this evening:
Passenger seat, threshold sills, speaker pods & visors. Bagged & tagged, seems pretty straight forward so far. |

Got some new shiny parts in the mail today including the new ignition harness from Jeff Bowlsby. This is sweet and can't wait to get the old POS one out of there

Good you drove the car to Temecular Jeffrey before this project. I guess next Temecula Fun Day your car could be converted to 6 already!

914 7T3, are you in the west valley? i saw a car that looked like yours about a month ago -Andrew Sherman Oaks so East Valley, but I may have been en route to Topanga or Mulholland to drive the twisties if it was a weekend. Ah makes sense, Im off Mulholland in Calabasas, although the 914 is up in the air in pieces |

A lot going on this weekend. Picked up a sweet '02 986 and it passed the PPI as being mechanically sound. Two front tires, an alignment and some cosmetics and this car is beyond ready to go. PPI done by Hergesheimer Motorsports in Lake Forest, CA. Lots of great cars there including a '74 Teener that is getting a 6 Conversion. I highly recommend this shop to anyone looking in OC. |

Today the awesome audio set-up was torn out. Car was brought in for engine drop and it was tough knowing that the car won't be driven again for at minimum 4 months.
In case anyone is wondering, this is what a 50 year old air cooled shop in the Valley looks like. A real blast from the past with lots of NOS parts. Today we discovered NOS German CV joints and even a set of Boge shocks. The box says VW, but if they fit, they will replace my original Boges up front. Things will move quickly this week to get the car ready for transport to the paint shop on Saturday. |

Was the 914 a green one? If so, it's the owner's son's car. They are a great shop. Right around the corner from my office. |

Motor is up on the stand and getting torn down.
Took the transmission, engine tin, fan shroud, motor support, shift rod, muffler, heat exchangers and related parts for degreasing Once completed, off for blasting and powder coating. Muffler needs to be re coated with a high heat paint, but not sure what to do with the transmission case as far as finishing. Car should be down to the metal by end of the week so hopefully will have pics when I get to Riverside on Saturday. |

Also saw these numbers painted white on the motor support and engine tin which must be something that the factory did back in the day...would love to know if anyone knows the significance.
