Barn Redemption, I Already Knew Where to Find It

by Groosh | posted in: Restoration Wednesday | 2

This 1974 Porsche 914 2.0 was tucked away by me for four years in my friend’s building. I dug it out yesterday. While it’s a straight car, I have not had the time or inclination to fix it after an … Continued

Restoration Wednesday, The Key to Any Restoration

by Groosh | posted in: Restoration Wednesday | 2

The key to any restoration is to actually have one. My Honda Elite key was lost. But the pass-the-project owner bought an ignition lock with keys as a replacement. The problem with them was two fold. One it didn’t fit. … Continued

Restoration Wednesday, This BMW Blows

Quite literally now. I replaced the heater blower motor that froze up and installed everything yesterday. One day I have fantasies of driving an old classic with working heat and even possibly a/c. Dare to reach, dare to dream. Now … Continued

by Groosh | posted in: Restoration Wednesday | 4

  Does the engine look clean? I hope so even though I wasn’t finished at this point. Typically you take off the body panels on scooters, of which I’ve had a few, and they are filthy. So my first, second … Continued

World situations what they are, I’ve been home working on projects in my garage and decided to dust off my blog. I’m always buying and fixing things despite not writing about them. I can’t help myself from finding some clapped … Continued

Restoration Wednesday, Hella Clean

  I scrub with tooth brushes, use plastic polish to shine up lens and file contacts and sockets after breaking corroded bulbs free. The damage was so bad to the passenger turn signal that I rebuilt the back of it … Continued

Restoration Wednesday, Brakes Break

by Groosh | posted in: Restoration Wednesday | 0

Last week it was brake fluid up my nose. This week, here’s to mud in your eye. Which actually happens a lot when I’m working under a jacked up dirty car. I always wear glasses but my prescription doesn’t work … Continued

  This driveway-art doesn’t drive down the road but in the spirit of “getting-ahead-of-myself,” I’ve been playing with the lights. When I first trailer-ed home this Bavaria and hooked up a battery, one light worked. Scratch that two, the trunk … Continued
