Hi Guys,
Guess what, I finally found the box of photo's from the first day I purchased my 914 in 1992. The box has many, many photo's of the 914 in construction & now I can put together a proper album. The first photo is my $400.00 purchase with a little wrinkle on the front fender. Yea, that's right I paid $400 bucks for it. CA rust free with all original stuff. What a deal. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) I'll throw in a few teaser's along with some misc. photo's of cars from my past. Tom (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) Attached thumbnail(s)

I should have added this photo in because it's pretty!!!!
All this was done over a 5-year time span. I spent over 2,500 of my own man hours along will outside services I could not perform. I replaced everything ( I mean everything is new) with NOS parts that cost me just under $20K in parts alone. Today that would be a much larger #. Today the parts are no longer available. I did all the grung work and detailing. It was a labor of love. As you know my car is currently under a cam (Raby #9550 cam) shaft replacement with new S.S. headers, etc. It's going to be a little better the 2nd time around. I should take my first ride about June of this year due to a busy schedule. All total I have about $20K in my car, because of all the horse trading & selling of parts along the way. It's been a fun ride & I've met a lot of wonderful people. 1st. ride 7-11-98 (finished) 2nd time around ride June 2009 Tom Attached thumbnail(s)

I don't think better is the correct word here. More spirted. bit faster, but not better |
