And after so many fun adventures: The Little Blue Beater is gonna have to go to a new home.
Frankly, I don't have the time or resources to focus on this project anymore. Although, it does work great as a reliable daily driver. Original 1.8, SSIs, 22mm front sway, stock rear with adjustable droplinks, turbo tie rods, new steering rack, fresh poly rear bushings... AND rebuilt, 0-mile 2056. 9.3:1 compression. I also have an MSDS header, new in box (unopened!). Pair of rear trailing arms, waiting for a cleaning and new bearings. Comes with a pair of 5-lug hubs that have been drilled and studded by T H O M A S. Painted front and rear bumper. Plenty of extra bits and goodies. I hate to see a car that I took TTOC with so many times go, but I really want to get another Porsche that won't require quite nearly as much work... That I won't have to focus on paint and body to make the looks comparable to the fun factor. I'm contemplating another 944 or maybe a 928... I hear those have 4 seats (for the friends). Expect the car in the classifieds soon. The extra parts going with the car should be worth plenty as well. If you have any suggestions, ideas or thoughts I'm open to all of them. Thanks! |

Hot damn if only i could afford $15k+!
I never said I would be giving up the addiction for good (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I just want to find something newer, possibly more reliable and less required time for restoration (translation: Less wrenching, more driving!). I've wrenched away many hours (previous job) on plenty of front-engined water-coolers. My favorites of the two being the 968 and 928. I would very much like to have both a 944/928/968 AND a 914... but the 914 just is not something I can spend time to restore. When I do decide to go back to teeners I think I will start with a much much better example to begin modifications... Waiting on current tags then I'll post it up on the classifieds (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
