She Drives

The Porsche 914 has been coming along very nicely and, soon enough we will start the process of sanding and shooting the car with primer after we get the body lines straight. Then we will prepare for the painting part. We got the car driving and the brakes now work very well. The shifting at first was very poor and while driving, I could hardly find the right gear that I needed to. My dad and I found out that the shift linkages and bearings had been worn out and need to be replaced. So we replaced them and magically after, we started driving and found the gears we needed almost perfectly. The shifting was smooth, almost like butter, the car was driving very nicely and felt like it had been restored and it felt good to see it back on its toes belonging where it should. My favorite part about that car is hopping in and turning the key and hearing her turn over to life and letting all 80 odd horsepowers come to life. She is very, very, very loud.
