Hello world!
I just joined the forum and thought I'd say hi. I have a '74 2.0 that I am starting to restore again. Sadly, it has been sitting for the last 5 years. It is also a sad shade of what I have been calling "disco maroon" (the previous owner did an Earl Scheib on it and picked maroon with metal glitter flakes in it) ... the good news is that it only has 65k original miles on the odometer and the frame is straight and there's hardly any rust (heh). here's the ad I put up when I was trying to sell it if anyone is curious: my old "for sale" web page I will take more pics as I go (so you can at least see that god-awful paint in all its glory). I'm sure I will be posting all sorts of questions too as this is my first "restore." like: Does anyone have a recommendation for an oil filter removal tool that works well on the 914? drive well =) -Robert |

Dude,
Your neighbor just happens to be McMark from Original Customs in Sonoma and it just so happens that he is very skilled in EVERYTHING 914 related. You are one lucky guy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

QUOTE(Dr Evil @ May 27 2010, 07:23 PM)  Dude, Your neighbor just happens to be McMark from Original Customs in Sonoma and it just so happens that he is very skilled in EVERYTHING 914 related. You are one lucky guy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) holy cro-moly batman! he's 15 miles from my house! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Speaking of neighbors, in a strange coincidence, the car was stored for 5 years at my Dad's place in Mountain View - literally between his and Dave Modderman's house... Modderman used to work on the 914 before I "stowed" it there. The world's a strange and small place. thanks for the heads-up on original customs, I will definitely give them a shout. and here's a couple pics of "the disco red 914" (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.zalot.com-11754-1275027813.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.zalot.com-11754-1275027813.2.jpg) and one of "the paint" (and also the coolest vin # ever): (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.zalot.com-11754-1275027813.3.jpg) -Robert |
