The 914 is at home awaiting some tlc when I get the time, you are welcome to pop round anytime to have a look.
The 911 currently looks like this,
Progress has been non existant recently due to getting the house sorted to sell so I can get somewhere with more room for cars.
This is how things are going,

I never made it either, with all the rain sataurday never got a chance to get some sort of temp wheel alignment done. So who went anyway. Did those that never went miss out on anything.
Ahh Ahh steve your petrol gauge dont give a true reading either, i've ran out a few times now. Think l got it sorted now though, just need to play around with the sender in the tank to give a true reading...

How do you 'play around with it??'
I have the same problem. I had the sender out on Saturday after finally getting mine to start, the notches to stop the arm dropping and rising too high arent far enough apart so at best it only gauges half the tank. So when its full, it reads full and when its empty its about half
Also saw Steve with a car full of family. If id known you were parking on the grounds i might have braved it in mine!

I went to dub freeze on my own first thing sunday. saw no-one ddk. A chap wolvo way told me he was building a 356 california and ask my advice! What do I know only got mine December! He seemed impressed with what I told him. He doesn't do internet so was struggling for info.
I popped back in the afternoon with the wife & kids just for a drive thru.
I still think mine was the best at show
