Yup, only 30 more days till the WCC. Hopefully most of you attending are ready, some of us are not or at least I am not. Both cars still need to be primered and both still need mucho body work. I am going to cut off the mangled piece from my rear fender and replace it. There are holes and stuff in it and I just dont think it will ever be right. I think I will get to it today. I have to kick some major bottom to get these done in time. Anyone who wants to stop by and assist is welcome. Lots of sanding to do and prepping. It wont be perfect but it will be close. I hope most of you are more ready than I am.

I'm probably gonna piss off the lot of ya and bring the 911.....

well lets see i have to

build the scoop for the raditaor
modify my exhaust hanger and weld it to my muffler
build a tray to hold the battery in the rear trunk
finish up the harness ( basicly tape it )
reassemble the inside of the car
going to put new front rotors, bearings and pads
maybe put front stock calibers on the rear
bleed brakes
put new drivers seat belt in


not much

Free this weekend?

Mine are going "as is"....forget the working on them....they will either run or not

Zzzeeeee can bring anything he wants and he'll still be slow.

Think about
10. hats
9. shirts
8. food
7. lodging
6. track
5. poker run
4. program
3. raffle
2. goodie bags

and the number one:

Figure out why I asked MikeZ and Slits to be the featured speakers at the Saturday lunch

Well I have a lot of the engine together. We're designing a new fuel injection kit so that's taking some time...



And I have my Euro lenses in the car.


It's still going to be close for me.

And exactly what the hell do you want me to talk about:

SKlines Shalom?

Joe's red eyes?

Joe's airplane engine?

The CGBC?

The WLLLC

Suzie?

A disertation on the value of being an asshole?

Prototype 115 - hidden in my mountain cave?

Free club banners and stickers?

Why Admin & Admins shouldn't be allowed to attend?

Or

Would you just rather see MikeZ in his Pink Peter Pan outfit w/ears and I in my skimpy leotard wrestle in a bath of CV grease?

If nominated I refuse to run,
If elected I refuse to serve.

LMFAO

Greg

I had no idea that you were planning to drive a 914 to the WCC, much less the extreme makover car. I just looked at the progress pictures - looks great! But like you said, it's going to be close. I'd be interested to hear more about your custom fuel injection system. Look forward to seeing you there.

Let's see, on my checklist is:
1 check tire pressure
2 check oil
3 pack car
4 get gas
5 cross fingers that I make it there and back

I think I can handle that!

Demick

Finish rebuilding my front S calipers. Bleed brakes. Adjust wheel bearings. Get alignment.

Because you are into S&M

not much, whether I do it or just install it here's some of the "to do's"

next 3 weeks:
build motor
fix hellhole
rebuild carbs
5 lug conversion
external cooler
bolster and recover seat
alignment
rebuild master cylinder, calipers
etc. etc. etc.
stay married
cross fingers and hope it all works out by day 25!

Greg, which route are you taking, i am taking a southern route through NC to texas to new mexico, do you want to try to meet up at some point east of texas.

I am taking the southern route and happy to hook up with folks along the way.

Oh yeah...adjust the damn valves

Well, let's see..... I'm working on a trade with the body shop up the street to swap the Black car for paint & body on the Blue car. If that works out, all I gotta do is pack the Blue car for the WCC. If that doesn't work out, I gotta track down the motor gremlins that cause the Black car to miss when it warms up. Then weld in the new battery tray, engine lid hinge, rear trunk pivot, partial front cowl, and passenger floor pan. Then take it to the WCC to get a bunch of folks that didn't bring a 914 to drive it, and try & sell it to pay for the paint & body work for the Blue car. So....ya see...I hope I can make a deal with the body shop & save myself a lot of welding.

So Mueller are you going to be putting a stereo in your car before the WCC

Yeah, I was wondering about that too. It is one of the most important things you know.

All I'd really like to do is better tune my Motronic between now and then. I know it's still not right. But I'm pretty busy with work, so I might be going with it as is. Oh yeah and install a front valence.

I've (my company's graphic designer) has finished with the final t-shirt design. I think it looks awesome. Am I allowed to post that here as a sneak preview?

1. Light a fire under my friend in LA to get one of his two sixes running for me....

2. Install new carb and see if the V8 still fires up. Find someone to trailer it South or borrow my old MPV and Muellers trailer.

3. Put Neo914 on hold, but have the V6TT engine, tranny, and a garage full of parts. Just need the flared body back from Seattle.

4. Get a gift for my wife who's birthday is on the 21st.

I didn't realize that finishing the car was a requirement

I thought that's why skline left a trailer at my house

You dont have to finish it, you just need to make it run and drive and stop. I am sure nobody wants to break down during the WCC. In fact, I dont ever want to break down, but it is a 30+ year old 914.

Well, since I'm bringing my Audi I hope that I don't have too much to do. Get my summer wheels straightened and put them on, and maybe replace the timing belt. Yay! I've gotta check to see when the timing belt was done last. Not something that I feel like attempting, and it ain't gonna be cheap!

So, whos got a 914 for me to drive when I get there? Hell, I'd be happy just riding shotgun.

Greg, I didn't realize you were planning to bring the ultimate 914. I've been following the build with interest, and I look forward to seeing it. Must be pretty nice to have such easy access to all those cool parts!

Wait for the morning to leave and hook up the tow dolly with the Orange flared 2.2 6 conversion by Dan Root of Rootwerkes.
See ya there.
