Hey Tony. Very small world indeed.
Regarding Hershey, we'll have to keep in touch through email.
I'd love to make it to the 914 gathering on Friday, but I typically am not rolling in until midnight. We'll see how that goes and plan to meet up there for sure!

Who else is going??

I've been thinking about going to Hershey for a few years, but haven't made it yet. Let me know if there's any carpooling happening.

Way too quiet out there.
Thankful to have my little escape pod to get me out and keep me sane.
This is the first year I've ever had the car out in March and it turns out to have been a good call.
Gord, I see you posted your 914-6 on FB about awaiting spring. I hope clear roads are coming your way soon!
Looking ahead tentatively, how many out there would consider forming a 914 corral at the 2020 VARAC Vintage Grand Prix at Mosport on Father's Day, Sunday June 21st? The cost of admission is reasonable, and camping is free. I'm looking at going Friday night through to the Field of Dreams car show and 3 lap parade of the Mosport Grand Prix circuit on Sunday. Event organizers are happy to give us our own space at the show. Here's the link: https://varac.ca/2020-varac-vintage-grand-prix/

I'm waiting and watching as well.
Our first couple of competition Enduro's with the dirt bikes are cancelled. That takes us into June and from what I'm hearing we may be looking at July before things start to look semi normal again.
On a positive note I got the teener out today and looking forward to a little self isolation cruising.
Stay safe to all

Good to hear from both of you. Scary state of affairs. Enjoy your cruise Dave! Patrick, I get the sense that sooner or later I'll be seeing you on the news after you crack and are arrested for setting up your own cone course at Walmart. Hang in there! I do want to check out your car in action at a WOSCA event once they get rolling, so please send us an invite to spectate here!

In case you didn't see his post, we have a new SIG914 member! Please say hello to Gary.

Gary's 911ST tribute is fantastic and I'm sure his 914 is a nice one!

Really looking forward to bringing us all good news of the 24 Minutes of Le Mans scheduled for August 2nd!

Fingers crossed on that! Also hoping the border will open up to allow all our US friends to come up to Mosport for parade laps to celebrate the 50th anniversary! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif)
Looking forward to welcoming All PCA members. If you've never seen it, check out the link in the first post to see last year's gathering and parade laps.

T-shirts should be wicked cool if this is a go.

Any word yet on whether or not we'll be able to go on Aug 2? Lots of stuff cancelled. Under the current rules we're going to autocross June 7, limited to 50 people and no spectators. Masks when out of the cars etc.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Hi Patrick, wish I could tell you more. All I can say is that I'm advocating for making it an event with online club registration required for parade laps in the hopes that we'll be considered participants, not spectators. It may be a case that only participating vehicles will be allowed in and that 50 cars from various SIG groups will be the limit. We probably have some flexibility on where we are depending on numbers. There's last year's spot by the winner's podium, a nice green space by the event centre right across the pedestrian bridge at the starting line and various green spaces around the track. That we can work out. I'll post any developments here. I know we're all very much looking forward to this and will do my utmost to make it happen!!! At the same time, I will accept and support the club's decision to not allow it if they feel our participation presents a safety concern.

Hi everyone!

On John's invitation, I'm introducing myself and my recently purchased 1972 914 to the group.

Attached Image

At some point in its life, the engine was swapped to a 2.0 (it looks like this might have been relatively recently), and the body repainted to a silver/metallic grey. The underside is surprisingly free of rust (though obviously not rust-free), but there are lot of body issues going on, with the repaint cracking, lifting and bubbling in multiple places. The previous owner had it for under a year, and decided to sell it after discovering how much a professional repaint would cost.

So far my plan is to address the immediate drivability issues (primarily the front/rear suspension and the shifter bushings) this summer, and then think about doing a full disassembly/restoration next year.

Would love to hear everyone's opinion about how to handle the fuel lines... they will need to be addressed in the not-so-distant future, and I gather there are arguments for and against replacing the plastic tubes (and hoses?) with stainless.

The car appears to have been local to the GTA at least since 1973, so if anyone recognizes it, I would love to hear anything about its history!

Gord
