OK, Miles tale of woe has got me worried. I disassembled my car 4 months ago, it was running just fine before the "rustoration" started, and in the process I drained and removed by gas tank. It has been sitting on the parts shelf since then. What should I do (if anything) to clean and reline the tank? How should I store it (I haven't done anything, but it sits there with no gas in it and the cap on. Any suggestions will be appreciated. By the way, IMHO the way the Steve at Otto's has responded has not helped him at all. Based on his comments alone, I would not care to do business with his shop. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) Steve you certainly have some balls my friend. I'm not taking sides in this matter, my comment was that I did not care for the tone and nature of your responses, they didn't seem professional or dignified. I especially thought the posting of prior e-mails from Miles and the tenor of your remarks was sarcastic and taunting. This is absolutely the last thing I want to deal with in any shop/ parts provider. I can spend (or not spend) my money anywhere. I do this for fun and have found most of the 914 community (Brad, Rich, Chris Foley, Jeff Bowlsby, the usual suspects) to be absolutely a joy to talk to and work with. And yes, occasionally I buy stuff from them, but they are more than happy to share their knowledge and assist me even if I'm not buying anything. IF what Miles says is true (car misrepresented, hobbled together, etc.) shame on Otto. If not, a more restrained and rational explanation of Otto's position would advance his case. Your attacks on Miles have seemed over the top and have not directly answered the numerous allegations of misrepresentations (sway bars, California car, original paint, etc. , etc.) A lot more would be accomplished by sticking to the merits of the claim and more importantly trying to help a brother in the 914 community who has a real problem to be resolved. I would like to see nothing more than for the responsible party to step up to the plate and fix this car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
