New tires have that arrow that indicates the direction in which they are supposed to turn. One tire is backwards. So, I took the driver's rear wheel off, brought it to the tire shop to have the direction of my new tire reversed. If I used the spare, I would have a set of four "directionally correct" tires but the spare has the least cosmetic wheel, so it will remain a spare.
Kinda lazy, huh? Paul |

I took the engine lid off and redid the grill area. I painted all of the black after steel wooling it all. The lettering was all off, and now it all looks like new (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Rebuilt and installed rear calipers, new pads, speed bleeders and all brake lines.
Now where did I put those parking brake cable clips? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |

Last week was installing Shea re-built rear calipers, installing the Porterfield R4S pads, and bleeding.
Currently a friend, with about 50 hi-po engine builds under his belt, is rebuilding my engine. To do list: 1. Install that 19mm MC. Too much travel for my comfort. 2. Install those cross drilled rotors and Porterfield R4S pads up front. 3. Have someone show me how to adjust the rear brake venting clearances the right way. I tried using our online resources but it's just too much I think. 4. Install the electric thermostat on my radiator. (air cooled guys ignore this) =) 5. Readjust my shifter linkage. 6. Clean up my wiring. 7. Spray some "out of the box" paint job on it. That's it for now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) |

I just got back in from cleaning the restoration bay. It NEEDED it.
Tomorrow, I am hoping to put my wire harness back in the car. Sunday - who knows. I'll get my tranny back from Dr Evil, then we are going to repair the front suspension on his Toyota. Maybe get my engine back into the 914 if there is still time. Zach |

Tomorrow, I will be finishing up the prep for dropping the engine out of my baby. Brother in law said he could come over a little later in the afternoon to help me drop it. Then it is the fun process of trying to piece everything back together on the engine. Not really looking forward to all of that since almost everything was melted, so not much to go by besides the book (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Goal is to just take my time and do it right. Gonna get some stainless line to run the fuel lines and relocate the fuel pump, once I get one of those. Then it is time to get to welding on the hell hole and finish up the rockers. I will post pictures of the progress... Any advice is always welcome!!
