I have been watching your project with keen interest. You are realizing a dream and that vision is coming together as you have seen it. The money spent over the twenty four years is not waste since it contributes to a working hobby and when averaged out those years does not appear to be bad. Yes, the total appears to be very high and scary. Then you look at the project and the dreams becoming a reality. Yes, I would have spent the money anyway in some other activity, but I have been building a dream; not becoming a reality.

Very nice job and I will continue to watch with great interest. You are seting build standards of quality and excellence.

Thanks for letting us participate in watching you buildi your dream.

Steve,
Karl hasn't been working on his car for 24 years. He was just giving me $hit because I've owned mine for 24 years. Karl's bearly 24 years old himself.

Karl, so for our next get together, you're driving your car right? You better.

Yes... Paul's had his car for 24 years and it is getting lighter and lighter... not due to the usual brown rot... but due to Paul's "texas chainsaw massacre" style of bodywork....

I've had this car since last May!

I've had 3 other 914s in the past starting at age 16.

Today's project... clean out the fuel tank!

Karl, everything is lookin great!

On the tranny, if you are putting in new 1st gear dogteeth go for the 2nd gear ones too. They take a beating with all the downshifting along with 1st gear.

BTW- What do you do? (for a job)

Karl,

Everything is looking good!

Where are you having the ceramic coating applied? Do you have a place in the Southeast? Are you having the mufflers coated as well?

Thanks.

Mike

You can also get these wheels. They are 15 X 6.5 and fit in the fenders.

I have these on my 1974 914

I like my wheels! I don't need minilites!

The mufflers are all stainless... so no coating needed.

Headers are going to Jet Hot for the Stirling ceramic coating.

Paul,
Is this going to be a work of art or a car?
Very nice stuff-you're doing it right. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Karl,

I think you'd have a few people interested in a calender with only your car in it once finished...maybe a few months could have pictures of the piece parts before it went together (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
