It's been a while since I've posted on the 914 board... And, in part, that's because of "out of sight, out of mind" - I've been storing my 914 at a friend's garage for the last 2 years to make room for other projects.
Well, we've had a lot of snow in the north east this winter - and the garage where my car sat wasn't up to the task of supporting all that weight. The roof came down on the front of my car, it cracked the roof, dented the roll bar, broke the windshield, dented the windshield header, dented the front fenders, and dented the hood. Luckily, I had it insured - but the insurance company has totaled it. Value to repair exceeds the car's value. However, I've had this thing for 19 years... and done a lot of the work myself, so thus begins a new chapter, a second restoration of the car. If anyone is near New York and has any good body panels, let me know! Attached image(s) |

Wait, Am I right Sir that this is the car that you documented in detailed the engine rebuild and your little boy is riding on your first drive test after engine rebuild? Well I did watch your rebuild thread (on video) several times. Thanks for sharing that detailed rebuild video!
I'm sure you also know that your car should not be totaled and just get the big amount from your insurance to fix your car. God bless! |
