I just purchased my old 914 back from the guy that bought it from me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I sold it to him almost three years ago because of an impending divorce. I just bought it back tonight, what a sweet feeling. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) Very happy about this, I built this car the way I wanted it and I was really pissed about losing it! He has done some upgrades, but he did sell the 2056 I had in it, I will get it back on the road with a simple 1.8, but what a blast when I drive past my bitch ex-wifes house with the top off and the exhaust blasting, with my very hot current wife in the passenger seat!

Here it is!

Thanks!

The PO had his own 2270 that he put in it so he sold mine. It's a long story.

As far as being married is concerned, I found the right one this time, she understands my car obsession, when this car came up for sale I was looking at a Ghia vert also, I could not figure out which way to go, she said buy them both...what a woman. The ex was embarrasd that I tinkered with cars, she hated it. I am really not bitter about it, when the chance to buy it came up I did not even think about her, a friend mentioned that I should drive it by her house and rev the motor, I went hmmmmmm! To tell you the truth she lives on a dirt road anyways, so I won't be driving by her house! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I did the slope nose, all metal, very little filler, just a skim coat. The front valance is no longer with it and he took the contoured longs off, but I will put it back together.

Very happy man!

Yeah, that would be my car...

I recently got a new job which shortened my commute from 23 miles (one way) to 1.3 miles... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

My E30 325is is my DD and I really no longer needed a beater car.

On top of all this, we're expecting our first on July 28th (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)

So, I was faced with getting rid of a vehicle. I decided to keep the E30 since it's a fun car (no 914, of course), but it has a strong engine and most importantly - it RUNS.

So, out with the 914. This is not saying I'll never have another one again, but for right now, if I want a fun car and I want to enjoy it. The state the 914 was in require a LOT of work to get running the way I wanted (Megasquirt MSnS, etc, etc).

I'm gonna miss it, but at least I know where it will be.

A fitting shot...
