Hi! I'm finally starting to tear into my 914 restoration and I thought I should introduce myself before starting into my flurry of questions. I've been lurking around for a while and this board seems like a great resource with really great people.
Here's my project car... Looks like a reasonable daily driver doesn't it? (IMG:http://www.anschlagen.net/914.jpg) It's not... But I knew that when I bought it - the previous owner was very upfront about the condition (he even told me about this board!). It' not like it's a basket case, I've got the parts in cardboard boxes... Lots and lots of cardboard boxes... As far as I know this car is a '74 1.8, paint is original (but 30 years of mountain sun mean you can take it down to primer with your fingernail), and I have no idea when it picked up the 2.0 wheels, but I've got 5 of 'em! BTW it had an original windshield too, but my first resto lesson was that 30 year old adhesive is stronger than glass. Anyway, I know a bit about fabrication from building rockcrawling Jeeps but this a different animal... I'm still looking in the boxes for the radiator (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) ... Thanks in advance for the help! -Andy Neal |

QUOTE(Andy @ Jun 10 2004, 01:50 PM) Jeeps are easier, dents are character - pretty paint is laughed at Reminds me of a story from a friend who does rock crawling in NC -- has a 70s Range Rover w/right hand drive, snorkel, big ass winch, and a floorpan that would make the Flinstones envious. He sometimes goes to RR club gatherings and parks it next to the $90k brand new ones. He once was asked about the differences between his and the new (Discovery??), so he walks over and kicks the fender as hard as possible and a huge clump of mud falls out. He points to the mud and says "_That_ is the difference between mine and yours" I thought it was hilarious. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |
