Michael, I have followed your car and at one point read all of both threads end to end to catch up on the history, going all the way back to the first post on the first thread, June 19, 2012. Seems longer but that is because so much has happened and all the detail involved. It really is not that long in the scheme of things, 8 years, when you look at what you started with and all the ups and downs that we have all experienced to some degree along the way.
The last 3 years in the right hands has really paid off! I admire you for sticking with it and that what you are ending up with is truly an amazing car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) Congrats and hope you get it home soon. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Also hope to see this car one day.

I would love to be able to do that. But the timeline is really out of my control. When the guys finish it up I think I want to put some local miles on it first, change the oil/filter and adjust the valves and then it should be ready to go out for group runs, longer trips, etc. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Saw some hoodlums driving your car today. Best picture I could get with an I phone 4. Can you recognize either. Both were smiling like they just committed a crime.

OK- My Six is finished and it is beautiful (I might be slightly biased) and I love it. Jim ( @banananose914 ) Kent ( @914350 ), Andy ( @Socalandy ) and Bob, (or the Justice League as I affectionately named them) did a great job. This car looks better than new and drives like new.
My brother Bob, my cousin Phil and I drove down to Jim's on Saturday and I admit I was anxious to see my car. It has been 10 years and 5 months since I bought it. We were tickled to hear it start and run, see the gauges working and hear that terrific 3.2 with Ben's ( @mb911 ) beautiful SS heat exchangers and muffler. We took it for a drive and I was not disappointed. It runs strong. It sounds great. It rides great. It looks terrific. A nice surprise was Oscar ( @ValcoOscar ) showed up at Jim's and he came bearing gifts. Oscar is just a great guy. He gave me a cool 914 hat that was in shades of green, a cool 914 hoodie and 2 914 T-shirts. I don't make out like that Christmas time. Thank you Oscar I am really looking forward to one of your BBQ's where I can bring my car and let everyone get a chance to check it out. Also Dave ( @blue6 ) was there and he has seen this project progress from the complete mess I delivered to Kent to what I consider to be one of the finest 914-6 in the country. Yeah, that's my opinion. I am sure this is not everyone's cup of tea, but that's OK. It is mine. Thanks for coming over Dave and safe travels my friend. We put about 40 miles on it and then loaded it into the enclosed car carrier, special thanks to Chris ( @tygaboy ) for hooking me up. After loading it was time to relax for a bit and we cooled off in Jim's pool. We sat around and talked about everyone (of course) and then decided we were refreshed enough to do the 400 mile return trip home. Off we went; the drive home was very easy with very little traffic. This morning we unloaded the car and returned the trailer to Petaluma with another big thank you to Chris. I would also like to thank my twin brother and best friend Bob for sharing this whole experience with me. He has been there for the whole thing and I hope he drives this when I throw him the keys and enjoys the way this car runs, rides, handles and looks. I doubt I would have hung in there with this build when the going was rough (pre-LA) without his support. Enjoy the photos guys and thanks for all of the support as I experienced Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. I can't believe it has been 10 years.

Thanks guys. And a special thanks to all of our members who offered help, parts, support and advice as I travelled this path. This World is a great place thanks to our members. I hope to be at the next 914 event in LA with my car so I can share the expertise of The Justice League with everyone. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Congratulations Michael and nice seeing parked on a beautiful garage too since it has been on a beautiful Jim’s garage for a while!
Oh it would be much better if Andy’s yellow 914-6 is included on this picture to show 3 of the sample body and paint restoration of Kent’s magic work!  |
