As many of you know, Mary Shortridge has taken on the massive task of restoring her brother's '73 914 1.7. Through Mary, we have learned that Lee was a great guy... unfortunately, his life was tragically cut short in an auto accident, while he was living back home and taking care of his family.
The restoration so far has entailed extensive body work and paint, a full engine rebuild and transmission rebuild - basically everything. Through the efforts of 914world members and vendors, part donations have come in from all over the country. Thank you ALL again. With Mary's approval, we are organizing two build teams: one to go in the weekend of January 30th to set up the car, tables, and parts; and the second two weeks later, the weekend of February 13th to actually build the car. The build on February 13th in Garden City Kansas, will be at a very special site which has been arranged for us (it's nice). Additionally, there will be food, T-shirts, and games.... it will be a purposeful reconstruction of a very special 914 AND a fun 914 event and celebration. Sign ups for the event will happen shortly. As a part of the build and event, we are looking to raise $1500 from members here. We are arranging to have a professional Porsche mechanic flown in to oversee the safe assembly of the vehicle and oversee the teams (with tools and supplies); and we expect to have expenses related to the build and event itself. [?? Per Mary's request, no cash raised will go to buying parts.] All funds will be managed by two long time members, and any money left over will be donated to public NET radio in Lee's honor. Every donator will be recognized unless you wish to remain anonymous. Donations can be made by Paypal to: edwardblume@gmail.com managed by Rob Ways (RobW), or by check / mail to Mike Moorman (Kansas 914). PM RobW, Rick?, and Kansas 914, additionally so we can keep track of the tally. The event itself will have an entry fee of $35 which will include a tribute T-shirt, games, and other extras. Additionally, T-shirts will be available for non-attendees for a short time period for $25- again, all proceeds above the costs of the event will go to NET radio. Thank you for your interest, support, and for being a part of this build! |
