it's almost over Options

At least, I'm pretty sure it is.

My car won't pass smog.

It appears to have a blown head gasket.

Not to mention it still needs a shitload of engine work that I really don't feel like paying for or dealing with.

I have not made a final decision, but I've already started looking for a bug. I'm about 98% sure that cutting my losses and getting out now is the right thing to do. I can't afford to keep fixing the 914. As much as I love driving it, it's killing me to try to keep it on the road.

*sigh*

I so wanted this car to be a good thing.

the only money I keep pumping into my 76 is for the mods I keep doing.
Car runs great with about 15k on the rebuilt motor and less than 1k on the tranny I fixed last summer.
When you can't do it yourself and have to trust a mechanic to do the work that makes it hard but that is the price of owning any car. I still have several friends who come over to repair their cars in my garage cuz they get burnt everytime they got to a mechanic. They use my tools but then take me out to dinner after. I have to answer questions sometimes too.

I remember you had a friend who fixed your engine last year too. Popping the heads off and fixing a leaky head isn't too hard. Is it running really rich?
