I read that threas very carefully.
I AM THE ONE WHO SELLS THE CAR!!!!! So i think ill join the bashing club! I am quite pissed off about people who throw such clever words as MONEY PIT and OK I KNOW THAT CAR....(that one killed me) They dont know what i did to the car. They didnt see it either. I know that car better than anyone. The problem is that i tried to be as honest as i could about the description. I didnt wanted to have the guy grins when he sees the so-called rust free car some pretends their 914s are. Why is it that everyone thinks its neighour and its brother are first-class screwers..... Arent we supposed to be a community? Do you really think i am gonna screw someone who lives 40 miles from my house????? And please, be serious. Someone posted pics of a super-dupper-clean orange 914 that NONE of us will ever own one day. We are not in the same ballpark. Another one seriously pretended that a 1972 1.7 914 is fun????? And that it will be rust-free? How many of you have converted sixes???? Do you know what it involves? So lets recap. To start with: 8K$ canadian is about 6K US$. - first off: try to find a /6 conversion for that price. Good ones are 12-15K. I sell it as a project, not a finished car. So 6K is honest i think. - second: i offered the guy to finish the project, fit the engine and then deliver a running car, for 1K CAN$ more. - third: i have ALL the parts to finish it, and receipts for the rebuild of the 2.7 engine. Just dont have the time neither a strong urge to do it. Just bought a 911SC. - there is no structural rust. Can someone see the difference between surface and structural????? - longitidunals, battery area and trunk floor have been repaired. Floor pan is brand new. - the flares are separating from the body, not cracking. I am presently fixing them. I tried the Ed Villela formula with 3M material, something obviously went wrong. - i rattle canned it because i wanted to see if the flares were holding before pouring 4K in paint! Clever, i honestly think as they arent. - oil tank is OEM - NOT REPRO or CUSTOM MADE!!!!!! - headers are include. Did i mention i have ALL parts? I do understand that people are give advices to a non-experimented buyer. I was one too. But to say to stay away - when you are thousand miles from that car - is bold, to say the least. Anyone, you can say that you scared the guy and that you made me looked like i was trying to rip him off. Which i wont. Period. Thanks to all. |
