Your car looks terrific with the mini lights and the Fuchs. The only very minor change I would make is to add the side marker lights back to the car. Regardless of that, it looks terrific.

great look! are those 16x6's or 16x7's?

thanks

6's in the front and 7's in the rear. Thanks for the kind words guys

installed LED on my gauges to match the paint.
they come out decent.

Me like!

Got my broken clutch cable tube finally welded.

Thanks , but nowhere near the quality of yours .

I would say slightly better. Did you use the side emitting led flex strips? I wish they sold that style in RGB LEDs, as they do a better job illuminating.

My Auto Shop class started up again this evening. I removed some old tires and cleaned up a set of wheels that will be shipped up to Nor Cal tomorrow or Thursday ...

I wanted to get the brake dust cleaned off before shipping, but leaving it up to the new owner to perform any additional 'detailing' as he sees fit

Well, working with Steve was a pleasure too. I used his Miller 140 which we had some problems with the first day. Make no mistake, that is a very nice unit, but it had the larger liner in the torch lead for .030 and .035 flux core wire. I didn't think to ask him about the set up but the the drive feed was jerky using the .023 solid wire.

Steve purchased the smaller cable and installed it in the lead. Made all the difference in the world. What you see in the pic is a combination of welds done when the problem existed and some after the fix.

I can tell you that I prefer all areas to be welded to be bare and blasted if possible. Especially if there is/was rust (and when is that?) When you are MIG welding and the arc traces over some rust left in the pores the arc stutters. It's very difficult and gives a good reason to use oxy/gas when you can. But, that's hot and slow when you're under a car or inside the engine bay.

Weld thru primer is not a favorite of mine either. It conceals what the metal really looks like and it does make the arc more difficult to maintain. All I can say is Steve's car is not going to fall apart. By the time he hits some of the poorer looking welds with a disc and sprays some rock guard in there it should look pretty good.

Thanks, Steve. We had some good conversations ion between all the racket I was making.

Hey Milt

I drove the 'BB' to a gun shop in Fountain Valley today (bought some parts for a new AR build ) ... all freeway miles, but it was still a good 50+ mile round trip, with somewhat minimal traffic to deal with.

Good thing I decided to take the car, because it's been sitting a couple of weeks and almost didn't want to start up ... got a good battery charging

Spent over five hours on the 914-SHO today. I started out getting the engine bar and motor mounts positioned so I could spot weld them in place.

Those gauges sure look nice! Are they the bayonet socket LED's or the flex strip?

16' look sweet on the 914 - just the right size. Nice teener!

Finally got my car running again thanks to George aka ThePaintedMan, dude your awesome!

Forgot to put the umbrella cover on it last night - and woke up to a nasty rain storm that lasted all day

I ripped out the L-jet injection and put in a single 2 barrel weber carb.. didnt run with L-jet...ran with Carb...;-)))

that is a awesome color

Sorry, but you should have fixed the FI - It might run with the Single Weber/Holley, but it will Never run Right!

Drove the /6 over to Santa Cruz for Pleasure Pizza and then walked the tide pools at the hook. I am sure loving the third seat belt.

After sitting since 2003, After working on it by rebuilding the engine, the harnesses, all the D-Jet components since July 18 2012. I installed the key, turned the key, she started, ran flawless, went for a short test drive, ran out of gas, called wife got more gas, drove car home.

Today I will adjust the clutch, re-activate the insurance for all the aspects of driving and drive this hummer!

Then I can give it back to my wife and she can

Somehow I'm loving the once despised by ME D-Jet, Big Thank You to Brad Mayeur for helping me to understand the D-Jet injection!

Yay!!

Those carb condoms look good. Where did you get them?

David

I know you can get them from Motorcycle Shops

Well, Santa stopped by early and dropped off some new shoes for a P-car ...

Which one, you might ask

Look what FedEX drop off Now time to get in the 914 and start the video...

They had a couple of options for 44IDF that I liked better than the cheap chrome filter pieces provided with packages.

Finally changed my race steering wheel to an original sent to me from Garold via Socorro NM, San Francisco and now home to NZ. Must bethe highest mileage wheel in existence.

But Icouldn't believe how much nicer the car is to drive in normal conditions with the original wheel. The smaller wheel is probably cool for AC but normal driving ??? It's like having power steering.
It just keeps getting better.

After being in the way at home as my kids were studying for mid terms...my wife suggested I go climb a mountain...so i did!

I need to wire up my 3rd brake light



(I need to do a lot of stuff)

New calipers going in.

but i ran in to a snag, the E-brake connector is rusted solid, pulled the retaining clip off the bottom but the pin that hold the cable in is rusted in there!. and i cant get the soft line and hard line apart. but no matter, i have new soft lines and just ordered the hard line from PMB last night!, so Eric, my cores will be on their way back to you before the end of the week- if you can rush those line out i can get the new once hooked up for a Christmas day drive, maybe!!
So glad i didnt take this to the Dragon this year!! but i will be ready for next year!!!!

Paid for my paint job!

Global warming is a myth?

Watched the 'BB' get washed again. Had another pretty good rain storm pass through this morning. Will dry out the engine bay (again) tomorrow morning.

Waiting for a hydraulic seal...

which is stuck up in the air...
with the car on it...
yawn.

That sure looks good. I love white 914's.

finally wired up my fog lights . went for a ride and had a wiper explode so i fixed that. Im suprised it stared right up after a month or two of siting. it seems every time i drive the car its raining. It takes well to the water since its been half under it twice

HotShoe, tell me you didn't Drive to Colorado & Hershey with this!. Really a Zip-Tie on the Throttle Linkage! You need to go the 914World corner for a Time-Out!
