Well the dream begins. I'm embarking on the building of a 914 project. Here is the candidate. Bought a roller from LA area. Looks like its not going to be too much rust. Firsts thing will be to strip it. Taking front fenders and rear quarters off. Then sending to Cal Blast for media blasting. I look forward to the knowledge that I can gain from fellow enthusiasts. Plan on taking a lot of pics Stay tuned......

I went to Rudy's Saturday to check out his project and to meet a local fellow teener. He has a nice 2 year project and 5 son's for helpers. That's a good start. Here is a pic of the "suspension" donor car.

And here is what burned it down. The Stereo or should I say Stereo installer. This is why you don't let the idiots at oil change centers/stereo shops touch your car. Check out the grommets. Oh, wait a minute. There aren't any.

I took a crappy pic here but this is the stereo's main ground block. I has 4 places for bolts to attach to the body. Can you see that is it is held on by one sheet rock screw that isn't even fully pulled down. So in essence, no friggin ground. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) And judging from that #4 positive cable I'm guessing it was north of 200w.
