That is by far one of the nicest 914's in the country. Having to put it to bed for a few months is a real shame. Here's hoping spring comes soon for you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

one of the advantages of having move out of MN and to SC - except I somehow ended up having mine in getting body and paint done right now, so last weekend was its last drive until about February - you know you could drive it , you don't have snow yet! - I drove my 69 Austin healey during the winters of '82-'86 in southern Mn almost all winter except for a few day - that car did put out the heat-(water cooled I know)
anyway I don't blame you for not putting it out on a salty road but otherwise.- drive! |

Positive is saving it from wear and tear, since i dont have heat and the temps now 30's and 20's i parked it. Amazing extra power with the cold air and turbo as it becomes a handful. I did drive years ago with the heat exchangers i may end up getting the new larger diameter SS ones so i can.

Those stock exchangers were to restrictive but then i guess it wasnt much of a sacrifice to have heat, but I sold them...... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Maybe next year.... |

Drove my car the earliest ever this year and had it on the road whenever I could, decided to put it away till Spring. Always a sad day. My thoughts are with you through this difficult time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I'm hoping for another month or so here (with heat) before the salt hits the roads. PS: Sweet car! |

Nice car indeed. Put mine away too. But it gives me time to chase oil leaks and think about heating |

Yes, 'tis the time of year to do upgrades/repairs, so my Mistress is on the lift probably till spring. Time for SS fuel lines, I moved the fuel pump to the front several years ago. So out came the fuel tank to be sealed, and since the tank is out, "while I'm at it" I have installed the sway bar I've always wanted! Problem is that the Cayman is under the 914 on the lift, so I can't work on Mistress without parking the Cayman outside. Winter snow is not such a big deal here in KY, but cold temps in my unheated garage make working with cold old hands a real problem! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
