I got a request for parts from this individual in Malaysia who wrecked his 914. I fear that the damage is worse then he thinks and may be difficult if not economically practical to fix the car.
It looks to me the the drivers long is crushed and I would not be surprised if the whole car is bent. Your opinions please.

QUOTE Sorry John, but I know Meng perty well. He loves his 914 and has been putting parts and money into it for a long time. Meng and his wife Fey have been here and Meng has been to several NARP Bar-B-Q's. I think that the only thing that we can do for Meng is send him a tub. I like the idea of just putting one in a container and sending it. Meng hangs with some high powered friends and I'm sure they can work out all of the problems at the other end. SOOOO....2 questions if you know him well. 1) Can you tell us if he removed the proportioning valve? 2) Can you get a GOOGLE earth picture of the area he wrecked? I know two people who love their cars very much too, but neither one of them has stuffed it into an innocent guard rail! YET. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) It wasn't the road's fault, the guard rail's fault, the tire's fault........uuummmmmm, driver decision put that thing on the tow truck.
