I drove Skline's car home, the big 1300 mile trip in a 914-4 2.0 FI........And that was enough for me. I pushed the car into the garage and sold the engine, FI, Tires, wheels and a few other 4cyl related items. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Here is a couple of shots of the progress of Scott's old car. There has been a lot done to it you will not see. I just snapped some shots last night to give a quick update on this project. So please excuse the mess around the car. I have also been working on A LOT of customer cars lately.

Thanks Dave and Eddie for the thoughts. And yes Dave, you will see Michelle and I at Whistler, we will be taking her 944 since the 914 is being delivered to CAMP today.
I don't want this to turn into a thread about my dad, and I really do appreciate all the kind words and even PM's I have recieved. It is why I am selling this six. Otherwise, I would have kept this one. It's sort of a story: Just a couple of months ago, my father was just finishing up a 3 car garage and had just dug into other home projects as well that required permits, inspections and of course, money. He walked into the hospital to have a tumor removed from his stomach on July 20th. They didn't remove the tumor and told him he had a couple of months at best(Cancer). This was of course a complete shock. They tried a few things, but he lost strength so quickly Chemo was not an option after only a few days. We took him home on August 9th when Doctors said he was down to weeks now instead of months and he passed away on August 14th. I was with my Dad 24x7 from the 9th until he passed away. Yeah, it was hard, really hard. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) Which leaves all these projects he didn't hardly even get a chance to explain to me what was left still on the table. With time limits no less because of the permits and such. So money from this will go to finish up those projects in a timely manner for Mom.
