I feel horrible for originating this thread. mark was a true 914 enthusiast and a valued member of this community.
May he rest in peace. I started out my day wondering where an order I had placed a couple of weeks ago. I started this thread "Is Engman parts still around?" The details are not important, this post edited because of the news. I had ordered some parts and paid via PayPal. Today, I went to the cart section of the paypal website and I get the following message: Engman Parts.... Error Message: This recipient is currently unable to receive money. [Return to Engman Parts] Got a PM from a Distinguished member of our community and forwarded it to the Admins for confirmation. Any words of wisdom? |

I didn't know the man, but I'm sure grateful for all that he did. Just this past August he spotted a post of mine deep in a thread somewhere wishing his aluminum floorboards were still available, and he contacted me to let me know he had one tucked away if I really wanted it. From that and other interactions, he certainly seemed like a class act to me.
