It's been a long time since I owned my last 914 or any Porsche. My trusted resources have all disappeared. There are certain tasks, like swapping out a transmission and clutch, which I need done now, that I just don't feel comfortable doing. I'm doing a light restoration on a very clean '74 2.0. I bought a rebuilt transaxle to replace my worn out unit and I'm getting the cold shoulder from one shop in town that was my first choice. They don't want to install a coustomer's own parts.
Does anyone who lives in the Sacramento area have any options? Thank You, Jack |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Ron is a member here, I did not know that. I have known Ron for around 15 years, probably more. He is good and knowledgeable of 914s and runs an honest shop. I even talked him into racing a 914 for awhile. If you have the time & room to work on it your self, there are local resources if you get in over your head. I'm in Carmichael and could provide advice but just have too much going on right now to offer much more than that. Jim |

I'll tell him about something going on at 914world and he'll open it like its bookmarked. By the way, McMark needs to talk with you... |
