I... uhhh... helpped you with the door panels



Oh wait, I also bought some rattle can paint to do the enigine bay (does that count (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) ).




OKAY, I haven't done crap. Is that what you want to hear, is it? I hope you're happy now, I'm going to drink some beer and drown my depression.

Well, I got my car running on Thursday.

Friday I drove it down the driveway . . . This is the first time its moved under its own power in 12 years. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I also test fitted the door panels and sills to see if I made any mistakes with my patches on the sills (and to see if the door would close right).

Today I helped Chris on his shop move for the better part of the day.

Tomorrow I'm hoping to finish painting the insides so I can put the interior back in.

Done: changed oil and filter

Half apart and will finish tomorrow: replace battery terminals (the ones that are rusty on the ends of the cables), install custom plastic battery tray bottom (replaces wood slats covering rust holes), fab metal strap for double protection battery hold-down. Warm air tunnels removed to acces oil filter and....

Considering for tomorrow: instal my recently puchased used SS heat exchangers! Maybe...PB blasted nuts and have all new gaskets ready. Little nervous on this one. Might just focus on battery and try to clean and grease driver door latch to get the friction down to finally finish hooking up my power door lock kit.

Ordered new speakers - on the way! Gazing into the anodized finish of my new spumone gauge rings....can't wait to tear into that soon too!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I didn't go crazy. Just a few things.

I made a bracket and mounted a rear view mirror.
Then I put black vinyl across the top of the windsheild since I don't have sun visors plus it kinda looks cool.
I replaced some sheet metal screws with nuts and bolts. Plus I replace several visible bolts with stainless steel allen bolts.
Then I added a quick release plug to the bottom of the catch can.
Finished covering my roll bars with leather.

Tried to take the seats out but dam I can't find the way to do it. HAHA

I think thats it.

So far...

* Painted inside and outside of center tunnel. Decided to use a brush instead of the gun in the interest of saving time. Its under the carpet anyway...

* Installed the proportioning valve

* Bent up and installed brand new solid brake lines for the rear

* Re-installed the E-brake cables

* Installed battery and hold-down

* Installed the clear plastic weathertight box for the replacement relay board

* Did some wiring stuff

If I can find a piece of rubber sheet I could have the radiator frame installed this weekend as well. Not sure where to find rubber sheet material aroudn here on a memorial day weekend though.

Let's see a picture of the black vinyl on windshield!

(I didn't touch the 914 this weekend. But so far I've prepped and primed baby's room, and painted the closet and ceiling, trimmed bushes, pulled weeds, tilled garden, drank pitchers of margaritas with my mom, dad, brother, and wife outside on the patio of an excellent Mexican restaurant, then had a bonfire in my backyard with my wife, brother, and mom.)

Searched the site til I got the answer to grinding gears getting into 1st and reverse. Adjusted the clutch cable - works great now, just like it should.

Thanks to this site for all the great info.

Hehe, drove the Boxster around with the top off in evening. Nice car but I prefer my 914 as the Boxster feels almost Japanese like. Did some street racing, tried not to hit the guys that walk down the middle of the street panhandling, passed slow cars like I was AXing, drifted a few corners and drove down a flooded street really fast showering that guy standing on the corner looking on in disblief.

It was a good day..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)


914 is too far away to work on.
