I was able to take the Green car out for a spin round the neighborhood this evening. Top off was off, the brakes worked great, the car was a little bit "darty" and in desperate for a good alighnment, but I was driving!!

I cannot thank Dave, Kevin, Doug and Al enough!! BBQ and beer doesn't beging to exspress my gratitude! You did, however, get to spend some quality time with me, so you did get something very Valueable!! HAHA

All kidding aside, where can you get four guys to waste a saturday and Al even completed both rotor rebuilds included geased the wheel bearings!!!

This is the best non club of all time! I just might break the streak of attending all 914club events in somebody elses car!

Thanks again guys!!

In that picture it is interesting to note My inpact tools are in the lower right hand corner, all of the WORK is going on in the Garage some 20 feet away!

That was a good day! Turns out I need more than moral support!

Poor ugom was reduced to loaner giving up a caliper and ball join pin retaining nuts. Even with my own "you pull" junk yard, I still had to spend some coin on parts.

Some shots of the guys... Did we not get a shot of Chef Doug??

Latecomer Shane has to pay his dues!

Yeah that was nasty!
Lawn mowing party you say? If it is on Saturday and I can were shoes by then I am in!
Drinkin buddy is coming up that weekend from Portland to help me finish sorting out the 914 for the big drive!
rhodyguy
a drinking buddy huh? that should be a very productive session. recheck the torque values on the stuff we loosened.

Just ordered myself new parts to swap out my improved front end for the damaged one from two weeks ago.

So I have what? two weekends and maybe a couple of days around the 4th to get it done!
So I need to:
Install struts and inserts (koni sport)
Ball Joints
Turbo Tie Rods (already on the struts)
Rotors and Pads
SS brake lines
Wheel Bearings
Get frontend alighned


Find headlight short (only have low beams)
Improve seatbelts (don't have pass side shoulder belt)

PLUS all the routine long distance drive stuff! ACK

I could just drive the F150 and beer3.gif more! then tow my raffle winnings home...


SO 15 days to go what is still to do??
Now need to re adjust headlights, change it so one click just turns on running lites not pop up headlites...
Rewire fog lites
Think of something to tease or make fun of Craig that will last for three days (trak fees?)
Change the oil
Check the level of the trans axle fluid
Install Stereo and GPS power supply (yes I am a geek)
Trade James for some interior parts (please oh please!!)
Re install wood dash insert
and stuff.
Things are looking pretty good right now, so I am knocking wood and rubbing a bunnies foot (not like that you sicko!)
