A guy I am working with is getting rid of his rusted out 914. I am thinking about parting it out. I was thinking about flat towing it, but I am concerned about the car breaking in two or something else horrible happening during the 20 mile tow. Nothing like dealing with two separate halves of a car in North Philly. Anyway, anyone got a trailer/towing vehicle and is willing to lend a hand? I'll pay for gas, beer and cheesesteaks. Lemme know.
Thanks, Chris |

Rich laid it out pretty well and I am totally in debt to him now. Above and beyond the call of duty to kill a whole Sat to help out a fellow teener tow a rusted hulk from one set of narrow streets (on a hill) to another. Traffic made for one long day, the delays at Uhaul didn't help either.
While the 914 has rusted from the bottom up, there are some good bits on it. The dash is uncracked (saggy a bit by the cluster, however). The door panels are good, the targa seal is good (got it off in one piece), the gauges are good, a lot of the interior bits are in great shape along with the rubber (a bit moldy if anything). I'll pull the rear fenders and the drive train to get the sideshift tranny. Then off to the scrap heap! Thanks again Rich, these parts are definitely going to help with my teener! -Chris |
