<aside/>...Web geek here just sayin... if you wonder why weird quotes sometimes include broken things from previous quotes and it breaks up the formatting of the quote flow... it's when one quotes and didn't mean to edit out the brackets or quotes or somethings. A single bracket can break everything. Gotta not delete the closing tags. /geek

CHRIS! I'm getting stoked with you!! It's getting closer!

Missing vent makes it look cross eyed.
Checked out the Merced, and you thought you got some comments here LOL.
Going to be cool.

It was so cool to see Chris' car at EASY this morning. People swarmed it all morning long. I am betting we had over 75 cars there easy (no pun intended). Took up two streets. Man talk about some cool stuff. It was a lot of fun.

Only 1 asshat, (black Lamborghini) had to get on it when leaving to let everyone know he was in a "Lambo". It's those guys that cause events to get shut down due to complaints from neighbors.

Aside from the above (asshat) everyone else was respectful and very cool. People wore masks and it was surprising the number of people who already had their 2 vaccinations. Yay. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I took some photos and will post them later today when I get home.

Nice catching up with some folks this AM. Some nice 914 representation with two real sixes - the Tygaboy V8 obviously - my faux GT and a bumblebee.

Something's happened - Marie Kono got into my head - and I'm considering, emphasis on considering, selling.

No I haven't landed on a price but I don't live in fantasy land. It's an odd-ball build that doesn't have wide appeal, at least not for ownership, and it's clearly not done.

On the other hand, all parts are top-of-the-line and essentially new and the chassis is solid.

I'd consider selling it as a roller, minus the engine, ECU/engine harness and trans. Might be a great basis for someone who wants a Subby or other H2O swap and likes the other stuff that's been done.

It's not in the Classifieds because, well Tygaboy...

If you're seriously interested, PM me.

You're killing me man. There needs to be closure. Being able to say, "Yeah, I [almost] did that" doesn't have the cache.

It is bad enough that my daily dose of therapy has dropped to almost nothing. To have it go away completely is unthinkable.

Tygaboy, you need to finish it. Do it for the children.(or the childish 914world members like myself)

Dude, there is so much of YOU in this car. It's so close. There is no one you could sell it to that could take up this mantle. I know you do what you gotta do. Just my 2 cents.

It's already running and driving so if you finish it now, it may be worth more as a roller down the line and your labor to render it as such will be about the same. If you do let it go, are you getting into another 914 to get yer thrills? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)
