Hi all PNW teeners,
Rich D has offered to host a work day BBQ party at his place on July 16th.
We will be welding on my car, installing a motor (or two), getting his LE sorted out and other stuff. Lots to do, so bring your work gloves.

Rich also has an abundance of parts for sale. Bring your wish list and your wallet (mit cache) so you can pick up those desperatly needed parts.

If you are in, let me know. I will provide burgers/dogs and snacks. BYOB (beverage).

I will take a final count on the 13th for those attending so we can have enough food.

Rich lives in the Mill creek area and it is easy access to the freeway.

See you all soon!

I'm thinking I should be there.

That's the weekend of the Packwood NT . I will be out of town.

Wish I could as it has been a while since I have seen you guys.

OOH! I am being pulled in different directions
AutoX at Packwood or working on 914's
what do I do. Actually guess I better check with the little woman. I may have plans that weekend. Otherwise I am probably up for the BBQ work party

Cool I will come up I have some engine parts I would like to get opinions on! Count me in.

Jsaum

The NT is the big NW event. You will see some very cool and fast cars here. However, a BBQ with the guys is always fun

Hey John, you driving something or just spectating? Might be a good day trip to check it out.

CoDriving Matt's RSA

I'm going to get killed but I'll have fun doing it. I need more seat time in 911s. Living on the edge with those is odd to me since I am use to front engine and mid engine cars.

I need to check, but I think I have a wedding to attend. Hate to ask the GF what the plans are for the weekend. She keeps reminding me about these dates, but I "kind of" don't pay attention...

I NEED a front trunk OEM seal in good condition. Anyone have one?

I'll try to make it...

I'll try and convince the wife it's worth my while to come on over and wrench away. I'm gonna try real hard to make it over.

You definitely should. Rich and Chris are awesome guys. If you've never met them before this is a perfect op to do so. Plus all the NW guys seem to be some of the best 914 folk you can find.

Problem solved! I have my wifes family reunion I will be at that weekend

Damn it anyways . Both packwood & Rich's woul be a great time. Have fun everybody

Yeah I am glad to say that I have already met Rich. He's a cool dude. And whats up with a bunch 'o us teeners being into bikes? I mean it only seems fitting, 914's are like the 125 cc 2stroke gp racers of old in my opinion, light and fast around the corners. I guess a lot of us have similar interests.

Jon its too bad you won't be hangin around.

Yep, 914 and motorcycles are pretty much the rule of thumb.
I will pst a pic of my latest project later tonight.

I think I can make it on the 16th, would be great if we can take a look at my car also, still running like crap, especially under 3000 rpm.

The wedding turned out to be Friday night! That means I can make it. Like to thing the creamsickle would be running by then, but I think it will be in the paint booth that weekend for some final touch ups.

I may need to swing by soon plus I need my other jack (not really)

Hi Jon! I should be done with it later today. new fuel lines routed. just need to finish up the fuel pump.
from the WIP:
75 400 four
to do:
2 bolts
new rear tire
seat
paint brakes
wire brake lights
exaust
Polish

fun no?

you can't see it in the picture, but the body is silver with a violet pearl and the frame is purple.

Awesome work Chris

I'll try to make it by, but I have another social gathering to attend in Mukilteo the same day. I'll probably not be dressed for wrenching, which is a plus for you. My supervisory skills will be ready to rock.

that is OK Marc! see you soon!

bump!
at home sick today. no fun.
doing research on my motor...should be fun!

If I don't have to work I'm going to make it down

Any thing I can bring? some noleak gaskets, Beer,

Rocker Panels, what do you need?

I need a drink

I will be showing up with my laptop tuning the megasquirt. Just don't poke too much fun at my rust bucket

Cool! I will get a final count on Thursday. I have been down with a cold all week.

What is the start time for this GTG?? Can someone PM me the address so I can google it.

I'm going to be down at Shoreline Community College for the VW Vintage Meet in the morning and early afternoon. I'd be up for another GTG after that. I'll be in my old bus though, so no pokin' fun at the slow-guy, O.K. 'Course you don't get slower than jack-stands, so I guess I'm good!!

It'll be me and probably my son, Josh, but we'll have to see if he makes it.

I'm going to try and make it. I'm on a short leash this weekend with a wedding Sat at 5. I already tried to get out of it but, that got me in deep dodo, so I know I won't be able to stay past 3. It would be nice to see you guys, I'll keep you posted.

Dave

Weekend is looking good. Wish I wasn't going to be in CA . Oh well I am taking the LE down for a drive. Have fun guys

Swing by in the AM hours, that's what I plan on doing. It's my kids 18th B-Day Saturday so my time is limited as well. But it's always fun to hang with the other locals.

Plus I need some 914 related stuff to just dig into. I've been w/o a 914 for a good month now.

Come on by and help me set up the interior of my car some night Dan That will help with some of the 914less blues

Hey Jon!

I stopped by your house last Saturday(no one was home) but peeked in the garage windows, quite a collection you've got going...

I'm out of town this weekend so can't make this work party.

Have fun everyone!

Really? I missed seeing you?

He was probably in his super secret ninja costume. He straight up invisible in that thing .

I'm only going to be available in the late afternoon. Sounds like all the festivities will be over by then, but I'll plan to swing by and at least say "Hi" since I'm down that way.

I'll come up in the morning for a few hours.

How can anyone miss that gynormous head?

Hey Nate, when are you going to be at Shoreline? Maybe I'll see you there.

Hey, do you happen to have those shirts for me?

Say hi to my son Chris, he will be there with my 914.

Jon got your message , gotta a couple projects finishing up.

Yup, I'll bring them to Rich's on Saturday.

Feeling better? It's good to see you post again

Ok,
So, after a week of head cold and a hetic week of work, I finally got this together.

Hiya Jeff! Can Chris bring the Klecko's?

I would love to show up! Put me down as a "Maybe".

Can I bring a car to work on if it isn't a 914? It needs lots of work!

I just spent $$$$$ on a car for my daughter ... '87 VW Cabriolet. What I do for my kids!?!?!?!?! One more reason the Teener doesn't get the attention it deserves.

Clutch pedal goes to the floor (cable is ok?)
Blown cooling hose
No brakes (unless the pedal is pumped a bunch)

It runs and rolls .... bit will not go or stop by itself.

Cheers,

Eddie
