Get one of these bolts with the Allen head for the top of the starter. With an wobble extension you’ll be able to remove the starter after the engine is installed. I paid $4 for one of them but it’s well worth the couple of dollars to save me from trying to use the claw foot wrench to remove the OEM bolt.

Engine/trans back in, left the axels off since I'm flat towing to the Paint guy this weekend! Finally!

Using the time to get as much done and back together as possible. Wiring cleaned up, fuel system is better and installed the fuel tank evap system. Fuel tank is still out for now, but ran the new line through the tunnel, found a very good used can and perfect mounting spot.

Very excited to finally get this off to body shop and paint.

Nice progress but I thought you were getting it painted without the engine installed. Looking forward to seeing you and Michelle on Saturday.

Waffled back and forth about it. Bottom line is the engine bay isn't nice enough to sand, smooth and paint due to welding, cutting for dealer AC etc. Fixed as much as I could within reason, spray bombed it and done.

Left out things like the oil tank so he has access to inner fender. Trunks and door jams will get painted.

See you Saturday!

Shaded by an airplane wing, but can see the inner long kit cleaned and painted.

Ran all my cables, new SS fuel lines and evap hose. While everything was out of the tunnel, I cleaned as best I could, poured paint in the tunnel and jacked one end up really high until paint puddled at the other end. Then reversed the process until paint pooled back at the original end. Then stuck modified long stemmed paint brush as far as I could and just smooshed paint everywhere.

Dried for a week, then installed all new stuff.

I did that kit on my 3.2 ss turbo build. Ended up using a 3.2 intake but the kit worked great

Thanks!

Port Ludlow, that's where the paint guy is. Finding guys who still do body and paint is getting really hard.

Was a fun day, had lunch with Marc, stayed the night in LaConner and headed back the following afternoon. His 914 still looks AMAZING!

Yes, the Ferry system is Love/Hate. Gets you places, but not always when they say. Ferries Saturday were all good, the last one going home Sunday was hell. 3.5 hours sitting in a car. Canceled trips, running late etc.

It's why most of the time we fly on/off the island. That red Jeep normally sits at an airport on the mainland. Freedom to come and go as we please.

Been a while since last update.

My paint guy had to bug out of the job due to things that were not his doing. He helped me source another shop to pick up where he left off and yesterday it was on it's way to another body shop....again.

At this point, hoping for Spring 2022 to get the 914 back all painted.

With the 914 gone, I've decided to use the time to swap out the tranny on my Bug. Putting in one of the 4:12 Freeway Flyers from Strictly Foreign. It's been more than a few years since I pulled a Bug engine.

Got a couple of pictures of the paint progress. Told another block sand, prime then paint. 2-3 weeks until finished:
