Interior back together finally. Couple of loose ends, the wipers didn't work, driving lights dead etc, etc. Mostly stuff from the car sitting for 10 years. I had forgotten that I haven't driven the car yet. Jeff drove it over and I started working on it the following week. So I have to work out all the bugs that go with a car that's been sitting for a decade still.

Still, it runs and drives great. I won't drive it much until I get my 2.0 ECU from my evil-Bay auction. You can tell it is running a little lean. The AAR doesn't work either. I had to cap it to get the idle down.

Little things. But it's fixed (Rust) and complete again. I'll try to take a money shot later this week.

I'm trying to own all the one's in the East.

Let's see I've bought 914s from Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, New York, New Jersey, Texas, California, Washington, & Sweden.

Most welcome. There are a ton of threads on repairs and builds of owners 914's. I normally wouldn't do one on a 914-4 staying mostly stock, but I figure I would really like to drive the heck out of this one daily for a while. It has SSI's on it and I was able to drive around yesterday with the top down and was fine even though it was cold out. I just picked up some speakers today for the stock speaker pods so now I'll have tunes! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

The only reason I am not driving it daily yet is that I have an early ECU. Once my late 2.0 ECU shows up, I'll plug it in and drive! I'll post more photos when that happens.

Wife comes home last night and I am tinkering in the garage on the purple car:



Wife “Watcha’ doing?”



“Just tinkering, hey let's take the purple car for a short drive and grab some dinner.” (Really nice out)



“Sure”



We settle in and start off down the neighborhood. I am explaining to her about my super awesome stainless steel heater boxes since all VW based air cooled cars heaters really never work, mine do! Just pulled onto the main drag that goes around the lake as I reach down to pull the little heater lever up I utter those famous little words:



“Watch this!”



No sooner do I pull the little lever up and glorious heat starts to fill the cabin area the car dies.



As I am pushing the car to the shoulder my wife is asking what is the matter with it?



“It’s easy!”



Wound up being a simple fuse, but oh boy I cracked myself up. I couldn’t believe I actually said “Watch this!” and then have the car die.

I thought "Watch this" was supposed to be preceded by "Here, hold my beer". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

Here is your old car today, Dan won't mind the minor hijack since it used to be his as well.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) Dam I miss that 914. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

It looks great T.C. and glad you wound up with it. Even after all the stiffening I have done to the purple 914 I have now, it's not even close to having the closed roof.

I love the rims!
