I left 914 ownership when my black V8 powered car burned in the Walmart parking lot some 2 years ago. I've been driving a Mercedes CL65 AMG as a replacement, but it's time to return.
I'm trying to make a deal on a project car being built in Orange County Ca. and hope to get the deal done soon. The MB is nice but nothing is quite like a 914. Surely the new project is going to have more than 4 cylinders but less than 12 like the MB. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Crossing my fingers ! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

I managed to put the suspension, rotors and tires back on the project. Now I can move the car around.
My wife's car needs some work and we all know how that goes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) Truthfully I bought a spare car just for her to drive when needed. Its a 1990 Maxima with only 75k miles and looks like new. I was so lucky to have serviced the car for years and the owner just turned 90 and gave up driving. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i60.photobucket.com-3782-1388044705.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i60.photobucket.com-3782-1388044706.2.jpg) I have the suspension cranked up much higher now just to make it easy to get to things. I really don't know where its going to sit and need to decide on rear springs. Again, I have a lot of work to do (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |
