YES!!!! I also plan to adjust the valves on my bus.

It can all be done as long as you don't stand next to me with a cigarette in one hand and a bag of cheetos in the other. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/alfred.gif)

sarcasm and wit are better left to those that are good at it, so I got nothin’ creative to say about how this day is developing...so I'll just reiterate

...was just planning on spending about 4+ hours playing around with 914s on Sunday afternoon....

I have failed w/these cars more than I've succeeded but one thing I know to be an undeniable truth - nothing happens quickly on these beasts. When a fellow board member says "only took me an hour" I have taken to multiplying it by 3. Oh, the rule of 3... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif)

See you boys in a couple hours!!

Good morning Mr. Sunshine. Someone pour sour milk into your frosted flakes this morning? Not like you to be so defeated prior to starting the job. Not to worry. I once put a set of bus heads on my engine by mistake and the thing ran better than a 6. Failure is just part of the process of illimination.

Now I'm going to get some breakfast so I can get there early and try to get a start on things. With all this SHIET on order for today it looks like I will be working on my own car in the driveway at home in the dark (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif)

I'm happy for a few reasons:

1. My car is pretty much square for the year & then I'll have plenty of time to get it all proper by the time spring rolls around.

2. I ran 20 miles yday averaging 8mins per mile - which makes my goal of a 3:30 marathon (2 weeks away) very attainable.

3. I get to quit my job in 5 weeks, then I get to work on side projects til grad school starts at the end of next summer.

4. I finally get to start helping work on your guys cars. It feels good be able to pay you guys back - even if today I was only helpful on chef's car.

Billy - thanks for the cookies!

Dam I don't think I could survive a marathon right now. I'm so out of shape.

The backfiring is due to exhaust leaks. The copper heat gaskets that were missing will cause that, as will the muffler gaskets not sealing completely. I'd say a good tradeoff for not shivering!

Glad it worked out for ya.

The green cars shell is worth while... Strong to quite strong... Do the tires hold air (ie, for towing)? I'll find out this w'end how easily the beetle tows the 914. If it works out easily, I could see myself towing the green car to Buffalo once the winter passes then doing a parts swap from my orange car...

It doesn't look like the restoration design parts I ordered will be @ Hooker's Welding til mid week, then I need to tow the orange car to Buffalo on Friday - prob will not leave enough time to get the longs welded up...

Who knows...
