Just because it will look nice on the outside does not mean that it will be in good shape.

have you seen the show?! in every car they put in atleast $20 000 worth of stuff... if you are a guy and poor (like me) you would do double backflips for the speaker cables they are using.. i wish i could and had the money to bring my 914 back to life.. but since that wont be the case in a couple of years (im back when im 48) haha.. i would be so greatful for a gift like this.. doesnt matter what it looks like.. right now im jumping with my car.. and im a hockey coach who does a lot of travel 2-300 miles a week.. and my car barely takes me to school (15 miles) now mu idle is messed up, stops whenever i let the foot of the gas.. so if they helped me get a car that runs.. i WOULDNT complain, and im pretty sure you wouldnt either.. BTW, they have done engine/trans/brake/rust work before and good ones! |

I would be careful buying a rusty 914....
They will not fix the rust like they should. Do you remember the VW bus? I think MIKE D's car would be utterly Perfect! Tell them to put flares on it, and put wide porsche wheels on it, and do a v8 conversion. They would love doing that. Simple Bolt on stuff. IF you need, take your drivetrain from your car and put it in this roller and do all the driving stuff. THEN when its at the shop you can take the engine back. Negotiate this will them and I bet they will do it. Andrew |

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) i coach peewees... they'd have to get a local expert to guide them, but if they did~ i'd ship my car out to you. motor leaks & makes a bad noise, but they'll be able to film it running around. body's good, but i'm pretty sure i've got long' issues. interior's great, but that's easy to make look shitty. let them make a show. ship it back with all extracted parts (no sawzall, thanks!... well, maybe some tasty flares...). i'll pay you $$$$$$. + return shipping. that's all i've got for ya, pal.

They only pick young drivers with cars that shouldn't be on the street.
The characters and their work are all about entertainment. Xibit, the host, even laughs at the whole show. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) I don't like many of the cars but I like that they create new ideas. |

I don't do double backflips for speaker cable. Ever. I understand your point, free stuff is always good. But I would not expect to get a good running solid 914 out of them if you give them one you picked up for a few hunderd bucks. What they did to that VW Bus and VW Baja Beetle was not something I would wish on any car. I got into this hobby to do the repair work myself, sounds to me like you would be better off with a newer ride, not a pimped out 914 that probably won't be that reliable (although when you are broken down I'm sure the xbox360 they install will keep you entertained). -Chris |

I think they should have a show where they go to these people's house's,take their cars and then crush em,smash em,burn them,whatever they want!! I think that would create more shock value! Just think,you see xibit pull up in front of your house do you think these young hot chicks are gonna run and jump in his arms? Hell no! They are gonna run for the garage door opener to keep him out! He maybe breaks in,steals there keys and drive's it to a chipper!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sawzall-smiley.gif) That's what I'm talking about!

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ar15.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif) i tried to explain, but i guess its pointless, i want a normal 914, flares, nothing major.. a solid car, casue its a beautiful car.. but if someone give me this car, i'll take. it will run through college, then after when i have the $$$ and time ill be like you. working on my OWN car... No disrespect to any of you guys I know how hard you work... and i'll be just like you guys when i get older.. but for now i'd be stoked for this!

rust free you say ? Group: Members Posts: 16,375 Joined: 7-January 05 From: richmond, Va. Member No.: 3,419 Region Association: None |
My .02 is to carry out your plan, if you get it done and the car is still a pile of (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/stromberg.gif) coverd in bling you can sell the hell out of it because of it's "fame" and buy a damn nice 914 with the $$. I gather that is what you have been saying anyway. If this falls through, get some friends and family to contact Overhaulin for you. That way you WILL get a solid car with proper werk.

Mine looks like "the one" from page one of this topic, but with bilsteins and running motor. I'd be willing to set up some deal where I'd get paid after the show. Let me know, PM sent. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer3.gif)

just thought i would chime in....
i read a bio of someone who was on pimp my ride..and prettymuch...you CANNOT sell anything off the car, or sell the car...theres alot of legal binding issues that go through...like, if MTV wants to use the car for some promotion or something, then you have to let them use it, you cant sell it or part it for X amount of years...stuff like that, its not just like they give your car back and forget about it |

Not to highjack or anything... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/hijacked.gif)
But wasn't there a post recently about 914 on Monster Garage. I also received some personal emails about that, but put them to the side... Anybody know anything about if that was for real or not? |

GO FOR IT.
Pimp My Ride's gonna put something like $20K into your car?? Why wouldn't you do it? OK, these guys aren't 914 jockeys, maybe not fix everything up to the standards of guys on this board, but they always put awesome wheels on, excellent brakes, sweet paint jobs, lots of electronics, and plenty of thump in the subs. If you don't want to use your car, then use mine. Let's see, what would I want if they did my car??? - 5 lug wheels with deep dish 16" Fuchs with 40 or 50 series tires. - flares of course - Engine: hmm, once they hear and drive my 1.7L, they'd have to put in a /6 or V8 just not to be shamed to call it "Pimped" - New 916 bumpers front & rear - Rear Spoiler - remote rear trunk release - Completely new interior - Racing seats - Roll cage - Power windows - New Dash without cracks (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif) - Nice paint job with maybe the 917 Gulf-Porsche powder-blue/orange scheme since I like vintage sports car racing.
