I have not checked in here in over 6 years (sorry). Since the Blowout. (car not me). I hope everyone is doing well and I would love to hear from friends, old and new. Cleaning out the garage today and I remembered I had a 914 sitting in there. Car is currently in Maryland (with me) engine, transmission etc. still In York PA 6 years later.... I have not even looked at my car for those six years. I just pulled the car out of the garage with my pickup truck. Go figure it would rain for the next 48hrs. I need to do something with it.
Now I have to decide its fate..... No reason to keep a car that NEVER Moves... Options are 1) sell it 2) part it out 3) put a new engine in and see what new problems there are 4) make it into a flower bed 5) wear a mask and drop it off at Zach's house 3am *p.s. I miss you guys (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) **p.p.s. for those peeps that don't know me I am just as nuts as anyone here.... http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?aut...blogid=484& |

We have made some good progress. Joe's car ended up being much worse than we both initially anticipated.
Still a few hoops to jump through, but about "half done" with the main body. Surprisingly the passenger side is in better shape - which is odd. So that should go faster. The bottom 2" of most of the car is soft and requires remedy. We agreed to save both of us time/money, not to aim for visual perfection, but aim for a safe and solid revival. I would fabricate all the simple parts - like the tunnel sides - instead of sourcing another whole tunnel. Additionally, not worry about blending or finishing any welds that it will be covered in carpet. The guts of the tunnel were also in very bad shape. Which resulted in my sourcing of metric tubes in various sizes, bending and installing, that was a doozy. The car will see the road again. |
