my car is basically done except for little things that bug me.

Like the brake calipers were dirty and rough to the touch. So some bead blasting and some ceramic caliper paint... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

also repainted my rocker panels and rear valence. They had taken a beating this year from AXing and Track events. (mostly from AX venues).

put on the street tires and wheels for the winter.


next will be removal of stock back pad and recarpeting the entire interior including the rear bulkhead wall.

and I will be doing the carpet in a very short grey pile, carpet similar to an RS interior including the replacement of the backpad with carpet to compliment my 914-6GT style seats. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

then I will begin my complete detailing of the car so it will be ready to be displayed at Blackhawk auto museum in Danville CA.

my car will be part of a display of Porsches to include at least 2 997 GT3s, one orange GT3RS, and possibly a CGT, and then my little Puttputt. Pretty good company to keep.

I figured out that 3 out of my 4 injectors are kaput!

Is knowing you have broken parts progress? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Anyways, thats my weekend of fun.

You look like you had more fun than me.

I confirmed that I will be getting some much needed FI parts shortly thanks to some very helpful members. I also came to realization that my intention of just swapping panels from my roller to my parts car (since parts car's under is way more solid, as well as the Hell Hole) is not really feasible due to fact that panels are all welded on, so now I will have to do paint right away instead of swap and go. So 1 step forward 10 steps back :-( If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all!!

Got to play with my new carb synch tool. Just finished overhauling my 40 Dells last week, and I'm getting them dialed in. I can't wait to see how much better it runs. The difference at idle is DRASTIC!

I cleaned my motor and trans, cleaned up the engine tin, replaced the pushrod tube seals, and adjusted my valves. Much easier doing valve adjustment with the motor on jack stands. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I helped exorcise the demon out of DrEvil's car. Then I painted my engine tin - well, except for the last 2 parts I need to get back from the bead blaster tomorrow. Then I put the head back on my T4.

so, lots of little stuff.

Maybe tomorrow I'll put my doors back together - or hang christmas lights. Dunno yet.

I put my rocker covers back on, got new rims/tires, and put in some new seals and other little things. My car is the yellow one thats almost finished (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

My brother bought a '72. It has a 2.0 with FI in it (a nice surprise, we were told it was a 1.7). He's really excited and now gets to start on body work since this car actually runs and drives. Its the first Porsche my family has bought that came running. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

The green '70 lost its garage spot and we're trying to figure out what to do with her. Now we have 3 teeners and a long hood 911, my mom is thrilled (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif)



These two pictures show my brother and his car. They are proof that 6'7" to 6'8" people can fit in 914s and drive them . . . he's only 15 BTW (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

I mounted a rear spoiler that I've had for 5 years and started building a Home Depot front splitter. 1/8" luan door skin with 6oz fiberglass on either side. I'll finish the splitter in the next couple of days. I'm glad it's not 20 below like some of you guys have to deal with, I can still get some stuff done outside.
