From looks of my email I guess I pissed Farley off, sorry dude that was not the intent. Do the emails stop now? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
All 914's are "money pits" to some extent, even the best ones. This site is about advice, opinions, and free speech. An opinion was asked and opinions were given, but in the end it's the buyers decision. That is not going to change. $8000. ($6000US) is not a bad price for /6 project car in Canada, what I was saying is the buyer could have double that (or more) into it when completed. One thing if you are trying to sell your /6 you may want to update or delete your project site. Another is the engine is not finished and running, why? Did the cam timing scare you? If the buyer was to bring the engine to me to finish I will not touch it, not without a complete teardown and inspection. The liability is just too great. Check the /6 out, I could be wrong, it wouldn't be the first time or last. Nuff said. |
