914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Putting the German 8 Tor up on the work dolly

Posted by: spare time toys May 13 2005, 06:39 AM

I hope this aint a bad omen but all the cars that have gone on this dolly of death have been parted out. No im not killing this one but it is getting a windshield put backon, ugly roll cage cut out, new cage put in, V8 and its required items, and a new paint job. And I still never drove this car

Larry, Have you ever driven one? any 914? You are a big guy. You may want to check your fit in the drivers seat of someone elses car...

Nope never driven one.... But I did stay at a Holiday Inn I had to use that Actually no I have not driven one but I figure with no dash and reworking the cage so the cross bar goes over the strerng wheel shaft use the quick disconect hub for the wheel on a shortened shaft, and tilt the seat back a little I can fit long enough for short track bursts. If it sucks to bad I can always sell it off and get an ass drager Any way it is up on the stand
