Went to Marks D's house in Napa (the hamburger dude) and installed a 1.8 motor into the '73 chassis I picked up from him...started work at around 10:30 and I think by 5:00 or so we were driving down the road....huge smile on my face, car needs a little TLC and fine tuning, but it should be a pretty decent car......

only picture I have right now is the one I just took in front of my house, I borrowed his tow dolly for the ride home...

congrats my own 14 would be considered a flatbed queen. she's had about 3 free rides and only a weekend's worth of road time, but she's coming home from the shop this upcoming week. YAY

Yahoo! It was a blast. Get that beast ready for the breakfast and show it off. Scars and all.

looks like you didn't need the old MPS after all ...

Andy

PS: how's the engine running? did you fix the small oil-leak around the taco-plate?

I would have liked to drop by...I got this phone message with talk of beer and giggling in the background.

Congratulations!

I have never forgotten my first 914 ride, and I remember the first drive in each of my cars.

Damn, these cars are great!

This calls for a cellebration. Mike has a running car.

Congrats

Hey Andy, I still need to pick up the MPS from you, I borrowed one from Mark.

now I just have to make sure I keep this one as a runner while I work on the "other" car
