His name is Mark, he picked up a silver 72' 1.7 that was up on CL about a month or so ago. He grabbed the fuchs from me Saturday and e-mailed me a picture.

I can say WOW! They look much better on his silver 914 that they ever did on my white 75'.

Hopefully he starts chiming in on the world site and attends some of the Teener Tuesdays. Really nice guy and nice looking 914:

Looks good on silver. He was interested in my Pedrinis for a while but you must have pulled him over to the dark side

Just kidding. Those look perfect on that car. He made a good choice. Hope he logs on so we can give him a proper welcome.

I hope so as well. I think his 914world ID is Silver72.

I also told him about the teener tuesdays. I'm sure we'll be seeing him locally.

How is the transmission swap going?

Mark mentioned something about the local sale not going through for the used tranny. I haven't had a chance to call him yet to see what's up. Hopefully he'll be able to source something.

I thought he bought it from me...

Posted by: Root_Werks May 26 2010, 12:54 PM

Oh yeah, duh!

I think he said the tranny IN his 914 was toast. Lots of little bits came falling out when he pulled the rear cone off. Not parts, but parts of parts.

Hopefully he gets it back on the road for the get-together at Garett's on the 1st.

what the hell woulda come apart like that?

Posted by: Root_Werks May 26 2010, 02:20 PM

Mabye speedo drive parts? Ear or tab from shifter arm?

Not sure myself.

Hopefully Mark will post up some pictures.

Hey all! We will crack the gear box that went kaput at the Dr. Evil Clinic in May...see what really happened. I hope that there is something to recover and use if folks need parts.

Mark

Cool!

I know Troy and I were wondering what the heck was wrong with it. Be kinda cool to see.

Name the brand of beer. Looking to repay all just debts for you all helping me out that night.

Posted by: KELTY360 Mar 15 2011, 11:13 PM

Yeah, after all the drama of the road rescue it would be nice to know what happened. The tranny clinic is going to be very interesting. Troy knows it's May 13th, right?
