Default 914 Progress
I took the day off with the hope of pulling my 914 together in time for the 9:14 breakfast, and Dyno Day on Saturday morning, and came oh so close.

The car is basically done, I fit the chrome bumpers, installed all of the trim pieces and cleaned the interior today. However it seriously feels like the brakes need to be bled, one of the tail lights is out, my fog lights did not come in, and my SUV driving friend with my good wheels and tires is the back went MIA for most of the afternoon

Anyway, hopefully I will be driving on Sunday. I was able to back out and take a couple of pictures anyway

That's an engine swap I definitely want in on. The car looks great Eric, what a turn around! Let me know if you want those chrome trim pieces.

Eric,

That color's terrific. Did you paint it or send it out to someone local?

Wow.. looks great! Really makes me want to get one - you can never have too many Porsches. Can't wait to see it.
