Thinking about it. I have a boat load of parts, but the PH swap is closer and bigger.

Posted by: LeftCoastErik May 14 2015, 12:13 PM

I a bringing a bunch of parts in my truck and the 73 on the trailer. Rob, what is the PH swap?

Posted by: matthepcat May 14 2015, 12:14 PM

Why not go to both the Parts Heaven & Saratoga swap?

Not sure if I can make it or not. Too busy this weekend, which is too bad, as I was looking forward to going!

I need to go and see if I have anything that I want to get rid of...

I am going to try and find a back pad, and a few other items for my car.

Posted by: Elliot Cannon May 15 2015, 01:15 PM

I'll be up that way for the Makers Fair. Will maybe stop by for a short while.

Got the 73 on a trailer and I'm bringing a single weber kit, rear spoiler, the mini lites and the front struts with drilled rotors and 320 calipers

Posted by: kkid May 16 2015, 08:24 PM

I will be there.
I am looking for a LE spoiler.

Posted by: matthepcat May 16 2015, 08:33 PM

I will be bringing a box of random hvac parts.

See you folks tomorrow morning.

I made it all the way home. Right at the bottom of my driveway the car dies and would not restart. Not sure what the issue is now but I'm leaning toward the fuel pump. I had to use the starter in 1st gear to get it up the driveway and into the gargae...

Bummer. Eventually if you swap out enough parts it will be indestructible.

Posted by: Michael N May 17 2015, 05:01 PM

Geez Mike....I guess that tow bar wouldn't help you in your own drive way.

Posted by: Michael N May 17 2015, 05:17 PM

Great to see even one today. I thought I would be good today and sell something off the parts shelf. Sold a bumper but then ended up buying some spare injectors and a trashed Scheel seat.

Enjoyed the meet, got my teener fix in today and bought some parts.

So much for the date of the camera being correct.

Ya, well you know,,,,, time just seemed to stop or slow down the next day or something.

Posted by: sb914 May 18 2015, 06:57 AM

Lots of teeners representing

Posted by: Mike Bellis May 18 2015, 10:01 AM

This guy put a bunch of pics of my car on a new CL ad for the swap meet...
http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/cto/5019326230.html

I guess everything has a price...

I did not have a for sale sign nor did I receive any offers but I see my car in -13- 14 photos.

Posted by: LeftCoastErik May 18 2015, 11:00 AM

Why did he post a new CL ad for an event that already passed?

Posted by: matthepcat May 18 2015, 11:06 AM

I guess he is using Craigslist as a source to show how the event turn out was. I saw the guy taking a bunch of pictures of your car Mike, but he could of at least asked you.

Posted by: dlkawashima May 18 2015, 11:13 AM

I think it's a "Thank You" to all who attended. Pictures of my car and other 914s that weren't for sale have been used to advertise the last two swap meets. It's no big deal. Rush (the organizer) is a good guy.

Posted by: Andyrew May 18 2015, 11:24 AM

Looks like a good turnout. What was the grey conversion car?

Posted by: Mike Bellis May 18 2015, 01:18 PM

Flay grey?

V8 283, custom hand built body kit. Well executed but not my taste. Very nice guy.


BTW, I don't care if people take pics of my car. Just a little weird to see it in a CL ad for an event that is passed. I'm not sure if I like it used in an ad without consulting me. I mentioned 914 World to him but I think it went over his head.
