Simple.

Do YOUR car first = Nel leaves you, you have to sell your car to afford legal bills, cheap whiskey and fat Soviet hookers

Do HER car first = you get it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) whenever you want, you get FREE REIGN on your car, your car ends up nicer and your marriage will last



Got it ????

Rob, your car is very nice looking in the pictures. It can't NEED that much done to it. Finish it first, then the LE. It sounds like it needs more work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Sorry Nel!!

Rob,

If you have a wife that is really into 914's enough to buy a parts car to upgrade hers - you really need to get your priorities straight. Bend over backwards and help her get her car done so you can enjoy them both - together. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Have fun,

Dang man I wish my wife was that into any kind of early car. If she found and purchased a parts car I would fall out of my chair. I would be so happy to have someone else in the house that enjoys building, and driving old cars I would build theirs first.

My wifes idea of ruffing it is when the check engine light comes on in her passat.

Rob or Nel needs a LE front spoiler. I have one that I might not use. Maybe we can work something out.

The wife has been buying things for the LE, such as a '74 parts car with near perfect interior parts. The husband started going through the parts car, and was pulling things off saying "I can use that for my car". The wife ordered a spoiler for her LE, and the husband said "I can use that for my car since the DAPO ran over something and broke the spoiler on mine".

Ask nice, and maybe she'll let you have some parts off HER parts car... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) and you don't want an LE spoiler on your turbo.

As an owner of a Bumble BeeAttached Image that needs restoration and the former owner of an LE, Attached ImageI vote for the LE. However, if you let me have the LE spoiler I just might change my vote for the turbo.

Rob, I've known you and Nel a long time. Anybody that has a wife that lets you play with toys, should already know how to share. Also the way it sounds, the parts car is hers, so you better keep your hands off it. Remember Loreena Bobbitt? Sleep well

Are you nuckin Futs? First, your a lucky guy. Your wife is all about the 914. Second, the amount of money you spend and the amount of effort you extend to get the wifes car looking trick is a direct reflection on the amount of money you spend on yours and the amount of effort she expends keeping you pleased. Iffen you know what I mean...

Is this really a concern? get another parts car and work on them together! Nothing like Friday night date night in the garage...

My God, man. Get a grip. I'm not even married and I know the answer to this one.

I think it's wonderful that you have a wife that's into 914's. Complete her car first and you'll both be happy. Then you can play the " remeber we completed your car first honey" card.

We're currently out of town with limited 'puter access, so I'll have to post more when we get back home on Weds.

In the meantime, OK, I get it, she wins. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Actually, we're working on a compromise plan. More details later.

I do consider myself quite lucky. Hell, she's been bugging ME to go back to the local Pull-A-Part yard so she could 'rip more stuff off of old cars'. She found it to be very therapuetic!
