I was not going to start thread until the car was home, but it is getting close and I want to share some pictures of the car and the progress.

With my neighbors help we got the windshield and trim in. Again it is a learning process. This was second attempt. The first time we had problem with dash to windshield seal. The second seal was better. Paint thinner works well for cleaning butyl tape. The windshield needs to be set pretty precisely. We made setting blocks and also used masking tape guides. Also reviewed all the post on 914 world.

Some will recall that I had a little engine pannick when it came back from paint. Thanks for the 914 world support I was able to sort this out. Nothing was broken, but I did take the engine out remove all hoses, tin, wiring to clean it everything. Like most everything on the car I would do it different and have the second time. It would have been much easier to remove the the engine prior to paint. There was much more dust everywhere than I would have thought possible. The good side of this was that I learned a lot about the engine components. I want to thank Jeff for his clear and easy diagrams on wiring and hoses. I got stumped a couple of times a Mark cleared it up for me. He also stopped by for support a couple of weeks ago. I had glitches here and there. When I put the intake manifolds back on I didn't notice the wave washers which were left between the gasket and manifold. When the engine was rebuilt they put some wave washers on one side for some reason. When I removed the manifolds I put the nuts and washers back on the studs and I didn't notice the washers when I put the manifold back on. I can now assure you that a vacuum leak on F.I. will cause a fast idle. It was about 4000 with a broken gasket. Everything seem to be working now,but have not had any longer shake downs. Again thanks to all for for helpful post.
