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) |

Hijack
The classic car was a 1973 Jensen Healey that was rusted in place. We did take some parts off it so if anyone needs Jensen parts feel free to pm me and I will tell you what we have. End Hijack The metal and brake parts acquisition are coming along nicely. I still hope to slap paint on before the break is over. Sorry if I sound (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) it has been a 16 hour day and it's not over yet. |

Hijack The classic car was a 1973 Jensen Healey that was rusted in place. We did take some parts off it so if anyone needs Jensen parts feel free to pm me and I will tell you what we have. End Hijack The mention of the Jenson Healey reminds me of when I worked in Germany in the 80's. I had access to US Military facilities and they had a few auto salvage yards around. I found a Jenson Healey and thought I had found a set of Dellorto carbs, but when I opened the hood the carbs had already been taken. That big 2.2 Lotus twin cam was still there and was tempting, but I had no immediate use for it and no place to store big parts so I had to leave it. Oh well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Later I found an early 914, well striped, but I did get several useful parts including swing arms and axles, engine lid, and some interior pieces, which I still have. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Good luck with your 914 restoration. |
