Last night, as every other Friday for the last 12 years, I spoke for 2+ hours with my very best bud (35 years!), 1970 Neun vierzehn. We chitchat like old ladies every 2nd Friday about 914's, model railroad stuff, and ties to Cincinnati.
This time, a large part of the conversation was dedicated to the nailed threads of this forum. They are helpful (I hope), but disjointed (our opinion), and aren't a "ready reference". Oh, you can dig through them and maybe find the info you want, but you may need to dig through 2, 3 or more of them. Here's our thought - and it means quite a bit of work, but may be worth it. Instead or categorized 914 areas, which cover all years of 914's, what about re-sorting all the posts in those nailed threads to be model year specific? Instead of all engine compartments/interiors, etc being in one location, what about ALL items associated with a model & year 914 in one nailed thread? Say you have a newly acquired, or in-resto 1970 914/6. Instead of searching through interior/engine/etc threads for info - we put everything in one nailed thread. You want info on '73 front bumper tits - go to the '73 models thread. Need to know what correct wheels are for a '72 four or six - go to the '72 thread. With that in mind, what are your felings about the change? I would like to think of the nailed posts as a history binder for CW's of all vintages. How would you structure it? All comments are welcomed and appreciated. Pat |

Pat, as I have suggested, I think the thing to do is to do ONE first and in so doing, set the pattern. I think that perhaps you should do yours as the first. Not that you will have to do it alone, it could be a collaborative project. Once we have one done to our satisfaction, then the others will be almost copies with different photos. After that it will become a matter of refining what has been done. The hard work is always with the prototype. Start with a plan as to what is to be presented, then how to present it. Follow with a text writeup, then embellish with photos to illustrate the points made.
What were the changes made for MY 1972? Seats for one thing. Then go on from there. |
