I found new to me serious rust on my car! It was painted and had some flaws that I felt not good so off to a new painter and when came to pick it up he quickly pointed out my hell hole. 
The car sat outside for almost 4 years striped in the first painters yard as he worked on it, when the eng. was pulled it looked ok!

Not wasting any time, are you ...
Drove the six long distance for the first time since conversion (about 80 miles round trip) to have my carbs adjusted, felt great.
Also adjusted the linkage.

Drove it! First time in a couple of weeks. Up to the San Bernardino National Forest on a rainy day. Did you guys know that 914s sometimes leak? 
Everything except the door skins Mark. They're coming off as everything on this car will be that glass you saw last Sunday.
About $700 clams.

Went over to the Central Valley to get a picture of the longs on the Creamcicle. The rockers had never been removed from the car....until today. I was nervous what might be hiding in there as the hell hole is rusty. The longs were in better shape than I expected although there was about a gallon of dirt up in there.

Got the motor into position in my SHO project. Even topped it off with the intake - though I do have slight interference to fix.
Oil pan won't be scraping bottom though & that's good!

Gave up on trying to fix the hell hole myself and called Milt aka Zeke.
Took two Saturdays to fix, but my hell hole is finally done. I'm glad Milt makes house calls. He was a pleasure to work with and I learned allot by watching him work. I highly recommend him.

Glad to hear you're happy with it. Looks good on there

Hey, the thread title didn't say anything about 'out of the ordinary' ...
Used Eagle One Mag Wheel cleaner on my Mahle's then drove it into town for an ice cone with the top off. 68 degrees and sunny!
Not a damn thing.
Had to drive through the massive herd of retards at 7:30 in the morning without
my routine coffee and go through blood letting at my doctor.
They wanted my blood and money !
Then, I had to drive back through it the other way.
Not a way to wake up.
I've been a grumpy old man ALL DAY.

Drove it to work. And after work I had to prove to my coworkers that you in-fact can do doughnuts in a 914.

Makes everything look rusty or in this case rustier.
Bought a can of spider killer and joined 914world.com 
Yep my car smells like Raid too!!
Nothing..But I did order a bunch of parts...
Found out that the main jet sealing washers were dribbling fuel out while the car is running.. (Yay fire hazard) and that my valve covers are the culprit of the oil leaks at the motor.. Pulled them off and they were more warped that I could have ever imagined... So, a quick drive to Duarte on Thursday should solve that.

added accessory mesh onto deposit box in passenger footwell
Installed a Wink mirror! the stock one would shake while driving, making seeing anything clearly somewhat difficult; and i also dont have a passenger side mirror so this should help out with seeing that side of the car better. I think it looks sexy!
