After all that work, I had a fun visit with Kansas914 and Gint. Not sure how encouraged I should feel when they both revealed 914 projects underway for more than 10 years.

You are doing an amazing job and staying focused. I could probably get one of my projects done but oh look a squirrel! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Amazing work - looking great! Instead of drilling holes for the 914 and 2.0 badges, have you considered double-sided taping them? The one post looked like it would need some attention anyway....maybe just snip em off, sand down flat, paint/polish and stick em on? Just a thought...

Damn squirrels anyway...

Show us how it's done Bob. Inspire me. Be the outlier. Let me know if I can help, even if just to provide motivation.

Fortunately, this idea looks better--and before I drill any holes.

Thanks, Gint. Pressure is good, right?

Finally getting around to sorting parts to be plated. Any suggestions for vendors?

Just sent you a PM but I don't think the torsion bar adjusters were plated. At any rate, I wouldn't send any cast iron parts for plating. Torsion adjusters, caliper bodies, and early headlight pivots come to mind. I had to helicoil my headlight pivots after they came back from the plater and I PM'd what happened to my caliper bodies.

I had been planning a big weekend to make progress, and start really putting the body back together. But on Saturday morning I got a call from my son. He had just finished a week of camping near Zion NP with friends, and on the last morning in the park he stopped and found all the oil no longer in the engine.

We both tried to determine options. The nearest VW dealer (St. George) did not have an oil pan in stock, and claimed about a week before they could do the job. For him to tow the car back home (Tucson) he would need to rent a trailer and box van from Uhaul, for at least several hundred $. Commercial towing would be silly expensive. So being a generous father, I volunteered to rent a tow dolly locally, and drive 400 miles to get him.

We got it home and dropped the plastic oil pan. It was cracked on the rear edge, but no other visible damage. Parts should arrive tomorrow, and he can be on the way home Tuesday.

My son ordered an optional steel pan to replace the stock plastic piece. It should be tougher.
