That right there? That is one of the best looking 914s on the planet!
Well done, my friend. Stunning. Just beautiful...

If I don't sell it, get it repainted the same yellow...and get the radio working with some new speakers...

Lets see....

1. Complete one restoration
2. Sell one instead
3. Get all cars out of the shops at the same time...
oops...bad plan must keep one there as not enough space ...kind of a garage musical chairs
4. arrange for car to go to shop
5. Don't complain how slow it is going
6. Don't buy any cars in 2017 ( wife just had strange feeling that wasn't
a hot flash)
7. Don't break anything
8. Don't buy any cars
9. Stop looking for parts and get to the garage
We all know about resolutions so only 4 and 5 probable

Project for this year on Mistress is to install new Tangerine SS tunnel lines to go with the front mounted fuel pump I moved 2 yrs. ago. Problem is that I filled the fuel tank before her winter slumber, and need to drain that fuel into...? Will probably postpone until warmer weather so that I can drive some of the fuel level down to near empty before removing the tank.

Thanks, For the comment..

Convince my wife I need AC and a heater in the car, finish the interior, and stop the damn oil leaks from my newly rebuilt engine.

After a ride in your car in the summer when she may be the most uncomfortable, she may be begging you for the a/c!
I'd forgotten you were in Modesto - I was there a few weeks ago. See, there's this girl...

With the baby on the way I doubt she'll ever be in the passengers seat unless Im at a track day with friends...

Dangerous, as I think my current job ended with 2016. But assuming I'm not living under a bridge...

1) Fix the door handles on the -4
2) Figure out why the engine bay cover no longer fits on the -4
3) Fix the damage to the -4's hood from a lifted pickup's tailpipe (grrr...)
4) Get working turn signals on the -6
5) Working driving/fog lights on the -6
6) Complete rebuild of the spare trans for the -6
7) Some rust repair on the -6

Realistically, that's plenty for the rate I've been moving... Somebody make sure to bring this thread back up around June as a reminder, yes?

I will paint my hood again............ and this time, not let the motorized gate knock it flat on the ground then roll over it while it is on two horses in prep for red paint.......

I would like to get all the rust repair done on my 73 shell. Hope to make progress each week.

Get the thermal expansion issue with the clutch resolved so I will have 1st and reverse after the car is warm.

Edit: Accomplished with a thinner disc.

Get the hair trigger steering, which is hyper responsive sorted so going through a corner at speed is not a white knuckle pants soiling experience.

Tbd: just added new tires so we shall see.

Would like to get it out for paint by summer. That means finishing the long replacement on the pass side, do the long replacement on the driver's side, repair the firewall, repair the floor. Would be nice to be working on the engine over the summer. Driveable by year end? Seems like a dream right now...

Matts, I always love seeing pictures of your car! What a beauty!

I bought a 1971 1.7 last year, gotta get it sorted out this year!
