Back story: Car was dropped off at Carl's Cool Cars in Las Vegas based on high recommendations. Their VW specialist rebuilt the motor, bolted it back into the car, then quit. Then Carl splits with the rent money leaving all the cars to be impounded. Owner Eric posts on the 914 FB page he needs a 914 mechanic, @Toast says she knows a guy, and now it sits in my driveway (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
My job is to get it to good Daily Driver condition, which involves figuring out the mess left over (particularly the 1.8L FI) and the usual old car fixes. This is my first time working with 914 Ljet so I'm sure I'll be asking questions, plus we'll need some parts that were lost. Parts needed: (will get longer as the days go by) -stock 1.8 banana muffler, gaskets, nuts & bolts. Custom Adds: There are a few goodies on the list... -914Rubber top dash pad -RennShift shifter -Tangerine SS lines Problems needing solved: Time keeps on ticking into the future.... Hello good look'n |

I know.... it's been awhile. Got sidetracked with trying to get my 914N6 to WCR19. Then a small injury to my tool hand and then had to play catch up.
First up, Chi-town came through with the trans mounts we needed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/live.staticflickr.com-431-1572290392.1.jpg) The black overspray finally got to me, so while I had the polisher out doing the Dung Beetle, I hit it real quick. Not just clean but BLING!

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/live.staticflickr.com-431-1572290394.3.jpg) Popped right in with silicone spray (ArmorAll) and a flat blade.
