Can you flat tow a 914 w/o the engine/transmission installed? How would you keep the axles from flopping around? You could pull them, but I think thats certain death for the bearings.

Then Donald can start paying my shop insurance when they find out customers have been working on their own cars here and drop my policy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
