Daniel, definitely rebuild. You've got tons of support from the SoCal Contingent. And parts suppliers from everywhere. The guys up here had my car running and driving in 16hrs. They were absolutely amazing! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pray.gif) And it was EVERYTHING they transplanted. The tub was seriously just that, a tub. Once the transplant is completed, sawzall the car up and the body parts can be donated to rust repair on teeners worldwide! Good will actually come of this! My orange car helped a lot of teener owners with their rustorations.

After the car's done, go out and AX the hell out of it. Right after I wrecked mine, everyone told me "Never lift throttle" (tisk, tisk). And even though that made sense in my mind, it didn't make sense to my hands, feet and butt until I actually sat in a car while it was going squirley and gave it more throttle to regain control. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving-girl.gif)

This was a learning experience for you. It's humbling, and will kind of make you baby the car when you drive her again (and you will, trust me). Which may not be too bad, even if everyone says to drive the snot out of it. But this should definitely not turn you away from 914s. Don't give in to the dark side.

I guess some boobs aren't too vulgar for the non-club non-members, eh? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif)
I opened up this thread and was like "wait, I know those!"

Hey Dlo,,

Sorry to hear about your "learning experience",, you will get over the loss of betsy,, now's your chance to make the $6 million betsy, with some help.
You should look into getting tony's shell,, he'll let you roll it over to your house w/suspension since you're local. You just need some finish welding, and some paint. You would be helping him out too because he wants some space to work on his project.
Have a BBQ, (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/jsharp.gif) get all the folks to come by. Let the friendly folks of the non club help/teach you about working on your car. Just be sure to feed 'em well. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Hey DLO,
I'm a newbie but wanted to send my condolences to you and your teener. But then I realized she's not gone, just injured. Glad you were not hurt. Please do not part out your car!!! I just bought mine last summer after a 25 year hiatus from the 914 scene, had one in 1981 during highschool and a buddy wrecked it. The old man was po 'd and made me sell it for junk. What the years gone by will do for knowledge as if I could have known then what I know now. Take some time to settle down. Remember, you do not have to fix it today. Take advantage of the family that you have and are part of by being a member of the very useful and helpful "914CLUB" . Though I am new, I have found everyone to be there for you when ya need them. Don't let another 914 die or be transplanted out for parts when she's just in a little coma, not dead yet!!!! my 2 cents worth.
