Hi Folks
My 914 has been sitting outside in Seattle and I'd really like to get it to LA to keep the mold and rust from killing it. Two months of weather have already done some harm.

Any ideas for economically getting it down there? The options I've explored so far are upwards of $800 and that's pretty painful.

Thanks
Joe

and if there are any problems with I-5 from the cottage grove area to way south of the oregon/california border it'll be a long, cold, wait. if your car is securely tarped and bungeed our weather isn't going to be huge factor. the windows should be left slightly open while covered. a container of DRY-Z-AIR in a bucket set on the interior floor will help. use the pass side and pull the carpet.

Thanks for the replies folks. I'm actually in Seattle now so if I drive it'll cost me less than flying home (with my girlfriend). I'd want to go 101 though to avoid the passes and have a more enjoyable vacation-like drive.

That said, I'm thinking of putting the whole thing off for a few months by renting a space in a garage. The DRY-Z-AIR tip (thanks rhodyguy) sounds like a good thing to do though if I go that route.

I'll also check out the terminal-to-terminal possibilities (thanks RobW) and see if I can do it for under $400 that way.

Joe

PS Anyone have a space in their garage they'd like to rent? Rather give the cash to a 914'er than some apt complex.
