That car is gorgeous! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) I've said it before, but I'll say it again. I like BUBS. Great car.

Thank you very much. I had a solid car to start with, but I have to ask. What is BUBS?

Had not posted anything here in a bit. Currently redoing the clutch while the engine and trans are out. I picked these up today from Tony at Autobahn Interiors in San Diego.

Rails on and ready to go back in the car.

Been awhile since I updated on what was happening. Installed one of the seats back in the car so it can be test driven. I was hoping to get the car back for Christmas, but that did not happen due to a few unseen issues when the car came back from paint. Before putting the gas tank back in we found out it had rust in it and the fuel filter, for the short amount I drove it, was turning dark rather quickly. Had to get a new tank to replace it and repaint it. Did that and then found out the fresh air box was broken and had to get a replacement for that. Then before putting that back in found out the fan was not working anymore and had to go and find one of those. Ahh the joys of a classic car. The long and short of it is that I am down to now just waiting to get it back, hopefully before the new new and install the rest of the parts waiting in the garage.

Lawrence, Thank you very much. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
Me too, I haven't driven it in over 6 months. Getting a little tired of just looking at parts in the garage..
The likelihood is as soon as I can drive it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (interior installed or not) I will. Hoping to see it back in my hands this coming week. The gas tank, fuel pump and air box need to go back in and then it can fire up. "Knocking on wood" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) unless another of those "might as well take care of that now" items show up.

See you all soon down by PCH.

Okay, it looks like you'll be ready to enter it at our OCR Concours this June, where they'll be doing a bit of special 914 recognitions as well.

My first 914 was a brand new 1975 Ancona Blue 1.8 liter purchased when I lived in Kankakee, IL. Bought it from dealer in Champaign. Sold it in 1979 when I was transferred overseas...in the four years of ownership, I put 117,000 miles on it. Loved that car

Absolutely beautiful car! Can't wait to see the interior with the new seats in place. Are your wheels 16x7? It's got a great stance.
