Update...great news. Tested this bad boy 914 on the streets and feels pretty good. Had a small leak on the master cylinder but that was taken care of. Hopefully I will take a video of it running.

As far as long distances go I am not 100% confident yet...especially the freeway the way these jerks in their crap box KIA’s and Hyundais drive.

Going to get a halotron and tuck it in somewhere because who knows...

Up next is the interior and other misc. little bits...

Thanks bro! Money is a little tight due to school, but whatever I have set aside I am buying parts.

Hey everyone quick update. I spent my only afternoon off today working on the interior. Special thanks to Mark and Scott at 914rubber for sending me the parts for the dash the other day. Overall not too bad, I had to fabricate the plate to make it fit better. I should of bought a radio delete tray to go with my order.

Send me a radio block off plate Mark! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Anyways, here are some pics of the progress. Did not get to finish.

Quick update from last weekend. I installed the dash panel and glovebox. I need to fab a radio delete plate.

Attached Image

Got a turn lever from Sierra Madre. Nice, but they did not fix the dent right. No one would really notice it unless you are a concourse judge, but the owner does. I need to talk to Jorge about it...

Now I need to figure out why the tach lights and speedometer are not working. I had the tach lights working but then when I re-installed the gauge panel and screwed the speedo sensor the thing stopped working. Also, more electrical issues. Fuse# 1 is not working. Fuse is good but not getting a signal. Any suggestions let me know fellas, thanks.

Oh, one more thing. I had a fuel leak on cylinder #2 area. It was the hose going to the injector- easy fix. Drove it around the block to give them legs some circulation.

Hi everyone,

Car is running pretty good. Throttle position needs to be adjusted. Special thanks to Oscar for the loaners until I blast the originals.

Still much to do.

Couple of updates:

Did the dash pad. Only picture i took:


Also fixed the speedo sensor with a NOS GEMO speedo cable equipped w/ EGR. I wanted to keep the EGR running because it gives it a little flavor. Sorry no pic.

Also, fixed both door handles and refreshed them so they can last another 40 years. Have the keys to go with them as well.

One more thing, original steelies are refreshed. Also, have the 5th one as well and an extra set (2.0 Fuchs) to mix and match. This was a little while ago.

Thanks to Oscar for the help. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Quick update, so I am sure some of you probably know that I lost 2nd and 4th gear. Bought the entire shifter kit from Mark and a new coupler from Mark Heard (914sixer). Great parts Mark Heard, you got gems there.

Added all the bushings, new coupler and freshly grinded, primed and painted shifter rod.

I have to admit that job SUCKED (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif). With the coupler breaking because the orignal pin was seized and installing the firewall bushing was hell. The metal in these are too soft because if you strike the end it with a hammer you create a mushroom effect and that happened to me twice. Luckily we found some tricks how to install them easier, but takes some time. I wish I had a press for situations like these. Got to put that in my checklist for garage shop equipment.

At the end everything turned out well. All the shifts throw good and is super tight. 4th is a tiny bit off, but manageable.

Quick update, haven't posted in a while. Just wanted to share some stuff.

Got a nice PCA badge. This is off a buddies ‘72 911T. He told me it came with the car when he bought it ten years ago. Maybe at least 15-20 years old?

Got a couple more things later lined up, thanks.

Here is a quick recent pic of my 914 with my buddy in his 911S taken this past Friday at a car show in Pasadena (Classic Car Nights). Cool show check it out.

More things planned in the future...stay tuned. Thanks for looking! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif)
