parts have been sitting, I have gotten too fat and old to fit under my 914.

Anyone in midwest who does not know Brad, should. He has added 912's to his working on 914's. Great guy, and knows everything there is to know about 914 and 914-6 former Porsche Dealership Mechanic and stayed with 914's

More to come

In addition to doing some of the best mechanical work for many years, Brad is also a valuable source if you need some oddball part for your car. I think he has a large collection of parts hidden away somewhere in central Illinois, and has been able to help me in the past.

Gotta keep that Midwest 914 bunch going strong!
