(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) We made them. Last year I bought a company that manufactures gear for aviators. We have been adding a line of motoring gear, in Porsche cloths - bags, tool wraps, totes, etc. Those shoes are prototypes. They match my seats. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

18 day! I finally got the rear in the air and got the shocks set at the height I like with the 7’s. I am in sworn to last high on the Bilistein with about 1.5degree of camber on both sides. There is just a bit more room in right, which is just a difference with metal work when the fenders were repaired I think. Now I could drop it back Lowe one slot and that outlet add about a degree more of negative camber and a quarter inch more room at top of wheel from the fender buy the front is as low as it could go with out having to reindeer my torsion bar and adjusting cap and screw. And with the front sitting about 1/2” lower than rear I like how it not stands . Maybe later I will go thru all that trouble since it does sit higher than stock factory specs called for, but for now it’s fine. No time as there are other things to do- like replace the sail panel vinyl- these 2 projects took the past 2 days! But worth the work.
The new German sail panel vinyl looks good, thanks Mark and Matt @914rubber Last few pics before doing a full once over cleaning- would’ve known that 2 weeks before we go to Amelia that the pollen comes out!! It will be almost impossible to keep clean - will have to stay covered up in the garage for sure. It sits pretty good I’d say, getting close to being done, timing adjustment oil change and some accessories to add(Steve’ bags etc!) ad I’m ready to hit the road. Attached thumbnail(s)

You need to quit using talk to text Software. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) ....I can’t read half of this because there are so many errors it’s hard to follow.
That being said, your car looks fantastic!!! Is your sail panel trim original? It looks new. |

So my trip has been cancelled. :-/
The owner of the property I rented (and paid for) months ago cancelled my reservation yesterday. I spent the evening trying to figure out if I had any recourse, and it seems that I don’t. At least not through the rental company (which the owner apparently fired). On a positive note, at least procrastinating on buying tickets and stuff paid off. :-/ Take lots of pics. Zach |

Thanks bud, but no. The place I had was on the island, on the ocean. I could do Car stuff. GF could do ocean stuff when she got bored of cars. I’ve done the Amelia thing a few times now, and a Holiday Inn just wasn’t what I was looking for this time, if that makes sense. We can save the vacation time and use it somewhere else. Zach |

The good news? For the most part, I’ve gotten all of the rubber, bolts, nuts, little parts, and other bits together to finish the car. The bad news? Ive made no actual assembly progress over the past week, except installing some rubber.
Each Friday I say that “this weekend I have to make considerable progress.” But it rarely happens. And completely denting my newly painted engine lid last weekend took all of the wind out of my sails. At this point I have to wonder - How complete does it HAVE to be? I am focused on mechanicals now. So here is where I am at: Engine is in, Throttle cable Clutch cable Half shafts need to be installed Windshield needs to be installed Rear window needs to be installed Side windows need to be installed Sand/Paint extra trunk lid and mount luggage rack Install new tires on wheels Install chrome/rubber on windshield frame Put rear firewall pad back in Install carpet Install door panels Put mirrors on This weekend I have to make considerable progress! |

I am less than 2 hours away from having my engine swap complete and operational but have been putting it off waiting for CV gaskets (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
I have no excuses now, however, since today the gaskets arrived. This weekend will see the 914 moving on its own and then it's time to clean up the exterior a bit and detail the interior some. Would like to get a stereo installed before the trip to Amelia. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

I need to find two parts:
1. In the interest of time, I think I’m going to stick with the single carb for Werks Reunion. But I need to find an accelerator cable. Since 914s never came with carbs, and the one I have is probably for a VW, does anybody know if a standard VW carb cable work in the 914 center tunnel/accel. pedal? 2. I need the coupler at the far tail end of a side shift tranny. It goes directly on the long shift rod, and has a female end for the bushing on the tranney. Any idea where I can find that coupler? EDIT: It is apparently called a Shift Rod Head (91442424102) |
