Unlike my husband who is addicted to projects , I actually bought a 914 that I can DRIVE!

I am going to pick up my '73 2.0 this weekend, and will post new pics when I get her home!

Nice car!

Looks like someone stole your wipers.

Posted by: Johny Blackstain Jul 4 2007, 09:20 AM

So here I am, reading this thread, beautiful car by the way, read the one that notices the wipers are missing from that shot & I start to notice the bumper is missing the front warts/tits, euro lenses front & rear, 5 lug cookie cutters on a 73 so it's been converted, passenger side mirror, hood badge... then it dawns on me- "I'm turning into a CW! " Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Beautiful car & I can relate to the part about getting stuff for her before she's even home .

Posted by: hi ho silber Jul 4 2007, 09:24 AM

You guys are all so funny!

Yes those are cookie cutters, 15x6 911. With pain stakenly polished lips.

Wipers are in the front trunk . Did you notice the mirrors are turn in? "Don't look at the cone you just hit! Look at the one your about to hit!"

Nel, before you go out and buy parts you might want to wait to see the parts that come with it!

Cheers,
Gotta go do some more cleaning! The new owner will be here soon.

Dave,

Rob keeps telling me the same thing! But I am WAY too excited about the 914! And after 20 years of being around Rob's 914 enthusiasm, I have found that you can never have enough spare parts for a 914!

This is going to be my first 914 that I own all by myself. Rob is going to teach me how to work on it, which will be a test of his patience!

We can't wait to meet you Saturday morning! Poor Rob has to deal with me for the next 3 days until we pick her up!

The pic was so dark I could'nt tell if they were Fuchs or CC.
Still looks great.

Very nice car. I love it when cars come with goodies to boot It's refreshing to hear a woman be so excited.

Posted by: hi ho silber Jul 6 2007, 07:17 AM

Nel,
After spending the last two days getting you new car ready, I've change my mind

Just kidding

As the new owner I only ask that you drive it

See you on Saturday.

Here's a picture from yesterday, with wipers.

OMG! OMG!

Is this gorgeous or what? I will have her home tomorrow night! And yes, she will be driven! We are taking her on the Tail of the Dragon run the 15th!

Posted by: 9146986 Jul 6 2007, 10:20 AM

It's got fairly new FI trigger points too!

Posted by: Coy Jul 6 2007, 11:31 AM

Gorgeous! Enjoy your shiny new toy!

Posted by: GTeener Jul 6 2007, 11:34 AM

Beautiful car

Enjoy

Posted by: ChrisNPDrider Jul 6 2007, 06:48 PM

That is lookin fuchin nice! I'm always torn between the normal and LE front spoiler, yours looks great with the normal spoiler. 914 parts collecting and weekend AX racing are very addicting, and co-dependant, so be careful or you'll be posting every day like so many of us other addicts

Posted by: highways Jul 6 2007, 07:59 PM

Nice car. When you go to put new rubber on your new rims check out the Dunlop Direzza tires. They have a thick lip that overhangs the rim so you don't get curb rash. Proto and Thomas have a set and they're sweet.

Posted by: degreeoff Jul 6 2007, 08:03 PM

They are fun to drive....at least I think they are? Its been so damn long I have forgotten! Enjoy and with any luck I will soon stop being like your hubby and more like you!

Posted by: hi ho silber Jul 7 2007, 12:01 PM

Here's Nel and her new love No not the flesh guy that's Rob

Took us almost an hour to pack all the stuff in the back of the Suburban.

Here's a picture of it being towed away to a new garage.

It hasn't sunk in. I'll post a new thread on goodbyes.

Hey Nel, forgot to add if you ever need to get rid of your new car please let me know, I don't care what condition it's in, I just want first rights.
I stress, it does not matter to me what condition it is even if, God forbid, it's a ball of metal with a VIN plate.

I appreciate you guys not trying to low ball me on the price, I got pretty much what I wanted for the car. I probably made out okay for the money I had into the car but my labor is free since I enjoyed spending time working on it (I did that alot )
Note to bad we don't have an emoticon that has regular tools! Ther hammer doesn't really fit nor does the sawsall or welding helmet

Just for the record, mine is drivable, okay barely since I keep Fusching with it and well drinking at the same time so ain't gonna go for a ride.

Well, we arrived home late last night with my new baby! I will get pics of her at her new home today!

I want to let everyone know, that if you ever contact Dave about a 914 he is selling....BELIEVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THE CAR AND EXPECT MORE!
This 914 was 200% better then I expected! I was blown over!

And you would not believe the parts! OMG!!! I never realized how many parts he provided with the 914! My dog looked like a taco trying to fit between the seats and all the parts. We had to fold up her bed and put her in the center.

I am one happy chick!

Nel

**NOTE** Please check out on thread for the Parts Garage Sale, Cookout, and TOD Drive that is scheduled for next weekend!

Posted by: hi ho silber Feb 7 2014, 08:05 PM

Okay from time to time I wonder about what happened to my 914 after Nel sold it. I asked them several years ago if they could tell me who they sold it to, only think they remembered was it "may" have gone to MI........

Not looking to get it back (at least not right now) but if any one comes across
vin 4732908164 please let me know.

Cheers,
Dave

Last time I talked to Rob, He & Nel were going to move back to the Tampa Area

Posted by: GeorgeRud Feb 8 2014, 08:04 AM

Great to see another set of his and hers 914s!

Back in the 70s, we had a couple here in Illinois (Ben and Dolly Hirsch) that had identical, consecutively numbered 914s that they used to race in the Showroom Stock class in SCCA. Very nice memories.

Enjoy the car in good health.
