To be honest I should have started this a while ago.
Background on the car (condensed version): I bought it out of a field from a tow truck driver who removed from the garage of a house which was being busted by police for drugs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif) The landlord took the car for rent due and called the tow truck to store it and then he disappeared. All we know is the car sat in the field for at least a year and the grass was up to the fender. End condensed version of the background. I have had the car for about 3 years and I am still learning new things each day about it that deserve a (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) or two. Here are some early pics: POR 15 only works if you don't look beyond the surface... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |

Hey,
It's a nice find you got there! i liked the color very much and hope you'll stick to that... now, when I take a look at your pictures, I thought my reading glasses suddenly wasn't any good any more and realized your pictures are a bit out of focus and dark. Could you try shoot pictures again in a better focus and use the flasher? That would help a lot to give you a better feedback. Based on your pictures, i wasn't able to see the issues you got other than rust holes everywhere (typical for 914) and I couldn't help you with what you need to know. How about try take pictures again, eventhough, you already start cutting it up, which is fine as you need to do it anyway to deal with the rust issues. But with the structural issues, get good pictures so we can help you... keep on working and you will have a decent ride before you know... j |
