914World.com _ 914World Garage _ At Last, cars are in the shop

Posted by: richardL Aug 27 2005, 01:59 PM

As some of you know I bought a vast amount of stuff from Burr. After collecting it, we decided to repaint the shop first.

Well thats now done, I have repainted the pallet racking I got and loaded everything in.

Finally I put two cars into the shop, my '75 race car and the yellow '72 1.8. The '74 2l will stay outside under a cover until the yellow car is running.

Then I'm going to 'merge' the best stuff from the two remaining cars to end up with the best possible, street legal, track car. I can flat tow that with the towbar I have which will be a lot simpler.

Once finished, I intend to sell of any worthwhile excess stuff. I have two excess 1.8 engines, a set of 4 944 cookie cutter 7 X 15 5 lug wheels with brand new Kumho Victoracers that I don't need, and a vast supply of glass, trim, engine tin, suspension parts etc. etc. etc. I have yet to go through and figure it out.

Here is a view of the two cars and the workbenches, racking etc. I got.

Of course, I need to start cleaning everything as well...

I can hear the vultures coming down on your post, so I figured I would get my dibs in as soon as I could

Looking for glass lids and bumbers and maybe flares, dont' have to look nice, cause my car dont look nice And depending on your time frame (and tire size) I might be interested in the cookies and tires...

BTW, very sweet shop ...
