is that 8”s on the rear? i have 7’s with 205/55-16” and even with the rear fenders worked and stretched and lips rolled , i am probably out a full 1” more than stock, i don’t think i could get 8’s in there and the inside is tight so even if the 8’s have the back space i would expect it wouldn’t fit so i’m wondering what wheels are you running and how much work was done to get the 8’s to fit?
We took Elwood to Cars and Coffee yesterday morning. Spent some time after that with some friends BSing in the garage, then @scottthephotog came over. We put his car up on the lift, and replaced the shift linkage bushings and put new front and rear brake pads in it.
These are the rear pads we took out...

Needs a ceiling and 3 walls. I'm thinking plexiglass ceiling on the bottom of the engine grill and seal from the walls like the trunk seals. I have a spot welder on order, that should the assembly a breeze.

Ben, PM sent.
Just in case anyone else is in PCA's First Settlers Region (FSR) and wasn't aware, the Fun Run is set for morning of April 17th, with a possible repeat in afternoon of April 18th. Total route is about 70 miles long, running mostly back roads from Windsor to Smithfield VA.
Events are usually announced in the FSR magazine and on the FSR facebook page (https://fsrpca.motorsportreg.com). Registration is via motorsportreg.com.
It looks like the vintage group is still open for the 17th, but it's maxed out for newer cars. As I said, there may be a re-do on 18th PM.
Hope this helps!

Drove the 75 Palma 2.0/4 about 200 miles round trip, runs great after the restoration. Went to see our 67 Nova Wagon, been working on it for too many years

I'm running 16X7s on the car with 205/55-16 Continentals. The fender lips have been rolled and stretched as far as I dare. The driver's side is very tight and will scuff the sidewall with aggressive driving.
AAA tow home yesterday, rev'd it too high and damaged something in the valve train I think. Tried to start it a few minutes ago to get it in the garage before it rain, won't start. 
Another 70-80 miles this afternoon.

Dog is my copilot.
Still not sure whether he loves to ride, or just hates being left behind. I need to get him some goggles though.
A couple of days ago...in between our typical Oregon rain showers...
145 mile round trip between Beaverton and Falls City. Falls City is a little town with a beautiful waterfall and buildings right out of the middle of the last century. Fun drive and some great roads, then today, washed the teener.

Took it to coffee this morning and as soon as I got out of it I was approached by two guys who had lots of interest and questions. Very cool.
Drove an hour and 15 minutes each way to a local PCA gathering north of Dallas with @ClayPerrine and @Betty . It was a really beautiful day and a great time.

Took the 914 and 928 for a quick 15 min ride each... it was nice to get out
PCA chapter did an event down at a tulip farm. My wife and I drove our 914 there and picked some flowers.
One of the other PCA guys left us a little friend. I think we'll keep him and put it on the dashboard at car shows.

The weather was so nice my brother and I took a nice ride up to see @Tygaboy and his new MBZ project. He also took me for a ride in his 914.....Holy Moly that car is quick. 
We had a nice time talking for about an hour or more and then it was time to hit the road.
That was my brother's first real ride in my car since his major back surgery 9 weeks ago. He seemed to tolerate it well. Yes, he rode in it for a couple short trips in the past few days, but this was about 70 miles each way.

Took it to Eagle Canyon Raceway. Saturday and Sunday so I could instruct.
Saturday i went to a local breakfast gathering , battery had its last hurrah, first time ever in 12 years that i needed a jump start! New battery installed- missed warranty period by just a few months, of course!
busy week, finished the install of the new defrost fan, ran wiring for the motorized washer pump(a OEM NOS 911 part).
in 12 years i’ve never had a washer system operational, or the defrost fan!

what did you use, LED strips?
I ordered a set of these with controller and a remote but didnt come with the dc power supply connector, so trying to figure out how i might wire it in, i think i should tie it in to the door and back pad light switch, is this what you did?
