Jeez what a waste. What's the story?

Posted by: redshift Mar 25 2005, 08:15 PM

The story? If I pay shipping, that guy has a space for my car.

Damn I wish I had access to that yard. There's alot of stuff that looks pretty good.

Look at this fender, it looks pretty nice:


Or this dash:

Posted by: kafermeister Mar 25 2005, 08:39 PM

Wow! Those look just like midwest 914s.

The ammount of rust on those things remind me of home.

I agree. How about a set of Euro spec turn signals?

Posted by: rick 918-S Mar 25 2005, 09:10 PM

The blue flared car looks to have steel flares and had a 6 oil tank.... I wonder what the history behind that car is.... How sad!

Posted by: mack914 Mar 25 2005, 09:16 PM

What's the big deal? Just computer generated pictures. Just remember for every one car saved, 100 bite it....

Posted by: redshift Mar 25 2005, 09:25 PM

Most of the stuff that looks 'useable' is fairly inexpensive... that dash pic is misleading... look at the sag in the middle...

Euro signal lenses (front) are cheap..

NOTHING TO SEE HERE PEOPLE, MOVE ALONG.

Well based on this .....

Bilder vom Samstag dem 12.03.2005. Wie man sehen kann liegt hier oben Schnee. Der Gelbe 914er von oben (in den Sträuchern) steht inzwischen vor der Halle und ich muss sagen, obwol er schon so lange da vor sich hin gammelt ist er verhältnissmäßig wenig verrostet!

Viel Spaß beim gucken der Bilder!

ALL the stuff IS euro spec.....

Come on... if there is one latch in that bunch that will last longer than the broke one you got already...



How many tops does one need?

The windshields are worth something.

Hello Gustl,

thanks. Well...I am the guy who took these photos. Sometimes I look at the yard, where I made the photos and then I always have to take photos of the cars. My father often bought parts there for his 75' 914, ten years ago.

Have fun

Sebastian

Hi Sebastian
cool to meet you here - I'd say this is the right place for all real 914 fans

Viel mehr los als im PFF

So what was the original paint color for the blue one??
White, Red, Blue, Yellow, rust...........

That is some serious rust on some of those.

Posted by: balljoint Apr 4 2005, 02:38 PM

Looks familiar. There is a fellow in my area with over 50 rusted out hulks of 914s in his yard. All sorry busted ass cars with weeds growing through them. He has a few prime restoration worthy cars he keeps in a barn but they are practically all chrome yellow. He has a parts business but hasn't hit the internet yet. Best way to deal with him is walk in, find the part you need and make a cash deal (don't bring too much cash) Otherwise he is opening up the Porsche parts pricing and saying "weeellllll, brand new from Porsche this part is 8 million dollars".

hmm....i think the original color was yellow. I think I will soon take a look again at the yard an also at the car!
The Story i know about the car is that it got there before 2 Years with a big (rear)tail spoiler. In the last 12 months it got very apart built. I think I will make some Pics soon.

@Gustl: Thanks very much. Well I'm a 914fan since my birthday, so I think im very good placed here. It's a good oportunity to improve my english

It looks like a 914-6 but it is not. It's a 914-4.

Translation from Bablefish:
"Pictures of Saturday that 12.03.2005. As one to see can is appropriate for snow here above. The yellow one 914er from above (in the bushes) stands in the meantime before resounds and I must say, obwol it before itself gammelt it rusted relationship-moderately little already so for a long time there! Much fun with look the pictures!"

"...Before itself gammelt it rusted relationship...." Indeed!!!

Well...pretty nice translation

The meaning of "gammeln" is "to stand" or to be there!

Thanks for your welcome. South West Germany is really pretty!

I will try to get new pics on Saturday this week!

The Chassis nummber of the blue flared car, looking like a 914-6, is 477....

Hey Sebastian, are you sure about the VIN?

this would be a sensational rare '77 model

Posted by: Dead Air Apr 19 2005, 07:59 PM

Hey sebastian.
My father sent me this from Germany last week. Any of it sound farmiliar?

"On to Lake Titisee by way of Austria, Leichenstein and Zurich, Switzerland. It was a full days job and arriving in Titisee we found our reservation to be a quaint B&B complete with indoor pool, steam bath and sauna. Unfortunately none of us had a bathing suit. The lake is a small one, but as our landlord described it, romantic. We managed to get some pictures which I hope show reflections in the very calm surface. The town was small, and very tourist oriented....lots of little shops featuring local produce.cuckoo clocks and nicnacs. For me,breakfast was a grand event...European syle with fruit, breads, cheese, meats, cereals and great coffee."

Other than Paris, they are having a good time.

Do all the rubber bumper covers pucker like these pictured? What do you do about it? Anyone?
