Hmmm that gives me about 15 years... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) I just may be able to pull it off by that time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) every one of those I see just makes me want to hurry up and get mine in top shape, but like everything it takes time and money, think I need to win the lottery (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I don't think this club is about who has the best 914, but for how to keep them on the road for the least amount of money. Inmormation is what you get here.

It's not about who has the nicest (as said before). If you own a 914 that runs and you have fun driving it...you are just like anybody on this site. Sure, some have some pretty sweet rides...but a running 914 is still a hell of alot of fun to drive!!! Keep it living.

Mine runs good but the paint is original (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) But my jackstands are awsome.

Re-phrase the topic as "this club is making me poorer" as it is all of us.

Dude: The Club started out that way. When we first had a run most of the car drivers looked for a place to park that was down hill.

Yepper... it can all be very deceiving at first glance.
My paint job is a good 15 footer. 'Course I did it myself and that explains it pretty much. Patience is the key. Oh and lots of (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) |

Cool present! Your car looks good and I would say, probably better than the mean average here. If you don't have any rust or bubbles on the paint, I'd compound the whole car and finish it with a high end wax like Liquid Gold. If it has the original paint and you can shine it up, that is awsome. If it has scartches, you might be able to buff them out easily.
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) Lubricating and polishing are the cheapest forms of maintenance. |

Ooops sorry, avatar generalisation. Wow nice stripping job. The car looks crazy tight also. You have something real to start from and if all else fails, paint the bugger yourself. Paint shops are mostly a scam and money racket. Most paint supply stores are willing to help you with all the info you need and if they don't, go to another without forgetting to let them know about it.

yeah.. I'm thinking of doing just that, still have some work to do on the body, mostly flushing the doors and little stuff. One thing at a time, almost have the interior where I want it, and the engine is fairly tight, just an annoying flat spot. And the hundred other things that go along with a teener.

Mine looks OK at about 50 feet, if I'm going 100 down the straight. What the hell, it's fast, and I got it for $800.00, running, with a roll cage and a fuel cell installed. I've put about $8000.00 more into it over the last 7 years.
The high dollar 911 guys hate getting beat by a hammered 4cyl 914. A lot. |
