ARRRRGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!

One step forward two steps back.
Went about putting in my OE german glass lovingly stored these so many yrs
and all was perfect.
So went out to remove a Windshield from the 73 that is being cut up and with the help of the glass man removed it in one piece...
until.....SNAP....!@#$% Oh well Sorry Dan.
It wasnt a sure thing anyway so back to working on the LE.
Lower myself under the dash by grasping the A-piller and you guessed it ...
SNAP.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Im SO bummed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
Cant seem to get a break lately... Im drinking. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Now Rich quit passing my work & car off for your own! We all know that is my creamsicle. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) Like you own one of the rarest 914's made. I mean really (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif)











Nice looking work Rich. You car is inspiring. Maybe I can actually go down in the garage this weekend do something (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

So did some checking and shor nuff (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) you still can get OE Glass
from Porsche (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
Its not cheap but I hope its the last glass the car will ever see.
part # 914 541 102 10 described as "Heat Protection Glass" which
is the Tinted option (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Now I gotta wait for it to show up from Germany.

I can't wait to see it Rich. I need some more motivation. I do have a guy coming to check out the LE next week. He's a local body/paint guy I found on CL. Semi retired & just doing it for fun. Winter special is $25 hour labor rate (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) . Plus parts & supplies of course. Was doing Mopar restorations for the last 20+ years. He's coming to my place to check out my car. He's also going to bring a photo album of his work. I'm trying not toget to amped up about it. He may turn out to be a putz (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) . Sounded like a pretty standup guy though. Just be nice as he is local & pretty cheap. Also be good as I can do it in stages as money permits.

If that doesn't work out it is saving some more $$$ & heading up to Jerry Mahoney's in WA (Jmmotorsports). I've heard nothing but good things about his work. I know his 914-8 was beautifully done & have talked with him. It will take me longer to finish this way but would definately be done right.

As you well know, Rich, I'm not much of a CW but even I can appreciate such work & dedication.....I think you have a loose screw, but not on your car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I missed this thread when it was new. My jaw just about hit the floor when I saw those pics. In my limited 914 experience, Auto Atlanta is the only place where I've seen a really nice car like yours in person.
