what struck me as wrong was the VW logo and the "Volkswagenwerks" on a Porsche sticker. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

EC is the engine code for a 1.8L 74-75

Just a side comment (as I know nothing about 4cyl cars) the ebay ad is for "GT AUTO PARTS & PERFORMANCE" not "AA".

It may be worth giving "GT" a shot at this.

yes, and the seller is "greg.treadway" who happens to work for AA ...

not anymore...Greg started his own company, he no longer works for AA from what I understand....

well, first of all, it says "werk", which is correct and not "werks". "werks" is really not a german word at all, don't know where you guys got that from.

second, it *is* a VW engine, so that makes kind of sense, doesn't it?

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) WOW (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)
Some of your guys have too much internet time at work! I hope I have corrected some of the errors that were so politely pointed out.

I'm still building the website. Any positive suggestions are appreciated. Thank you. Hopefully I can persuade some of you to be my customers. If not, that is fine too. I've always thought the idea was to keep the cars up and running.

Thanks to everyone out there who has been supportive both publically and privately.

Many of us are old enough to have had these cars throughout their life, so should have some idea of what business is about. George Hussey and Auto Atlanta have been there for many years, and they've been there to turn a profit. They've been helpful and supportive, even if not always the best for shipping on time. Often I would find parts there that no one else had available.

As these cars age, any supplier that can help keep them on the road should be applauded. If you've stopped by a Porsche dealer lately, try to find any parts for the 914 that aren't NLA. If they are available, the prices are often shocking.

We should all be carefull shoppers, check what prices and quality are before buying. I think that any bashing of suppliers that help keep the flame alive is not in our best interest. No financial gain on my part, but who else took the time to print tech tip books, 914-6 conversion manuals, etc, etc. Remember, the internet wasn't always there to give us this access to information.

Just my 2 cents worth, thanks for reading.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) But I would like to make a comment! I have bought new and used parts from AA and they have very poor business practices. Sent wrong part twice, used parts-dirty and in poor condition, said they sent parts- 20 phone calls/three weeks later cancelled order. I am not against a company making a profit!!! It's just a shame!!!!!!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) I would really like to see another company show AA how it should be done! The 914 is a great car (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) and It should have a great company behind it.

I think that was my three cents worth!!!
