Hey thank you Dan that was fun. Now just send me my camera, that I left there. Great to see some new faces and old alike. Weather was typical Northwest Sunshine. But the love and comradery inside the garage was warm and inviting.

Stopped and looked at a 75 2.0 car on the way up in Mukieltio, and bought a V8 on the way back in Gig Harbor.
Next time lets do this when the sun is shining. Thanks again Dan.

Thanks again Dan.
I had a great time. It was fun to bolt up that 914 seat to Dave's chair. It was like it was made for it!
Good to meet some more people and put some more faces to names.
Time to go wash the bike. The rain was pretty bad on my way home, but it was a good ride anyway!

Dave's, that 914 seat projcet rocked! By far the highlight of the day was seeing a mounted 914 seat on Dave's wheelchair. Too cool!

Also, Dave, I think your wife left behind a bag in the house? If so, PM me your address and we will ship it back.

Great times everyone! I will post some pics of the 914 before it goes away completely.

Posted by: boxstr Jan 23 2005, 11:38 AM

Dennis Torgeson was there with me, he bought an orange car from me. The sausage were brought down from BC by I thought his name was Steve Peters?? We talked while cooking sausage and chicken, he had emailed me about looking for a car to buy. Great sausage, and great pepperoni sticks.
Funny thing, there were two guys there that bought cars from sellers in PDX, I knew both cars prior to there buying them.

Geoff, thanks for posting the names. i, too, didn't get to talk to everyone and forgot some of the names in my quest for working rear calipers.

Dino, thanks for getting your pics on. you were up late!

Dan, you are right; seeing Dave cruise around in that 914 seat was the highlight . though, seeing dino nearly make a truck salesman cry while on our way home runs a solid second!

well, i rebuilt the rear calipers that Dan was kind enough to sell me CHEEP! amazing; the pistons pulled right out! go figure ... anyway, they now hold fresh seals, are cleaned inside, honed the pistons a bit (adjusting screw in the cordless drill chuck holding the piston, 2000 emery paper and brake cleaner ) now to hook 'em up, bleed the system and pump in new juice, and i can go!!!!!!

Dan, you set up a heck of a party. thanks again, dude! what an awesome day it was. thanks to everyone for posting pics!

And the last couple of shots. The 914's last hours. This was the front end I wound up pulling the dash skeleton from, steering rack, colum and anything else I could unbolt. I had to cut it up into about 4 smaller sections. One of the people at the recycling center started giving me looks. "Is that a car your putting in there?"


Attached image(s)

Posted by: Root_Werks Jan 24 2005, 09:37 AM

And there you go, the last of it being recycled. Don't let the undercoating fool you. This 914 sat with about 2-3 inches of water inside the car. The whole center tube was rusted and under the tar/sound stuff was tons of rust. But, many, many of the parts got gobbled up! The 914 is gone now.

kind of sad, but in the wake of such a grand day, not too sad!

i knew i should have taken those front calipers, just for spares! opportunity lost...

thanks again, Dan, for throwing such an awesome party.

and who knows, i may come groveling for that hood some day soon after all.

Nah, my wife took off. Didn't want to see her car all cut up. That's okay, we will find another one.

Posted by: Eddie914 Jan 24 2005, 08:57 PM

Dan,

Thanks for a great time! Sorry I arrived late and left early! It's hard getting much free time during "tax season" for us CPA types.

I was trying to join in and get my hands on a . It was hard to get a in edgewise between everyone! What a great bunch of vultures! At least I got to get my hands on a few !

Great to meet everyone in person!

On the way back to Alki Beach I took Hwy. 99 through the Battery Street Tunnel ... megaphones and webers at 6,000 rpm ... fabulous music! I think I scared a few of the other drivers!

If anyone is interested in a non-914 specific Gearhead gathering, we meet on the first Tuesday of every month and talk motorsports and tip a few . This month we are meeting at a classic car restoration shop in West Seattle. Steve Barnes shows up often. He has raced a 914 in Conference for many years. He has had a dozen or more 914s at his place in Olympia. Many have met the same fate as the car at Dan's ... used to keep other 914s on the road.

Thanks Again!

Eddie

Posted by: rdauenhauer Jan 24 2005, 09:50 PM

Wow, mondays
Yea good time, I figured we would have had more of that car cut up but evan after 30yrs they dont go quietly
This one had the "suprise" rust inside the long under the hellhole. It didnt look compromised from the outside until you cut it open and saw how REALLY bad it was.
Dan I found a screwdriver rattling around behing the headlight bucket when I pulled the clip from my trkand I somehow ended up with a utility knife I'll drop them off as I wanna ride my bike perhaps tommoro and need an excuse to go outta my way. (we need a smiley pulling a wheelie on a bike!)
Next ones prolly at my hous & cut up the Blk car!

Posted by: bare 1 Jan 24 2005, 10:42 PM

Ya Dan Great fun!! I wanted that windshield But oh well. . If they cut it out with a razor knife they earned it!!! Next time I'll get to the party sooner. It was good to meet all you guys although I can't remember half your names. I need to use em a bit more. Senior moments are creeping closer--- or lasting longer I'm not sure which. Interesting I never watched an autopsy on a car before!!! Rust in some hidden places. For any body whose interested I'm Robin I'm the 3rd guy in the second pic of the post . Hunt ,Eddie and me. Next time Ill come earlier and more prepared. I actually own tools too !!! Later..
