Each contestant will be encouraged to post one picture as well as a 50 word description of your car. I will put that in the top post for the members to vote. If no information or picture is provided I will put their name and find a picture of their car.
Each contestant is then encouraged to post as much as they want within this thread to support their car, or they may link to their own threads. Voters... Remember this is not a popularity contest, this is about which car is your favorite build, which means the most to you, which you find the most impressive, which you simply like the most. The winner will then be required to provide 3 pictures of their car that will be used on the home page and a 25 word description of their car, and their car will be on display on the home page until the next car is appointed! This is due by 12/12/15 to avoid delays and allow Andy enough time to edit the home page for the next month. Edit:Poll Closed! Congratulations Dion! |

I purchased the car in 1986 with help from my Dad. It was a no option ,73 Marathon Blue 1.7L with black bumpers and trim.
It was my daily driver for 5 yrs. Then became my autocross/weekend car. Steel flares and a repaint were done in '04. Then between '06 & '11 I did the following additions: houndstooth/bolstered seats, rebuilt the motor (lots o' help from 914Dave) to a "2056" 96mm JE p & c, mild FAT cam, CIS injection unit. I also added a TurboThomas RS stainless exhaust. Later additions were 7" & 8" X 16"polished Fuchs, a front sway bar, Rear adjustable Bilstein coil overs, AutoRoche yellow fog & Cibie spot lighting, and some Halda rally equipment. This past year added a "rally" style vent to small side glass. Helps on rainy humid days. Always an adventure. Gained many friendships on World buying and selling parts for this hobby. Also a wealth of knowledge. Thanks for the nomination. Very humbling. Always happy to share experiences. That's what it's all about. Sincerely,Dion Links of CIS info: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...=140816&hl= http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...=140876&hl= Attached thumbnail(s) |
