I bought the yellow '73 in March, and have done a lot of work and replaced a lot of parts on it. I'm starting to think I'm plugging holes on the Titanic. If it's not one thing, it's another. I should have started with a better car(?) I should sell it and buy a better one(?) I'm at that juncture and need to make a decision. What to do..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

I bought a '76 in pretty good condition for a daily driver....but it was tired after all. I had a couple of long distance drives on it but then tore it down. With some help from this forum, and HAM rebuilt heads, Raby cam kit, Rimco crank and parts, nearby junk yard, used parts from WTB and 914 LTD (Brad is great) and there are many other great suppliers on board here, paint and engine-it went on for a year, and then some....
But my other Porsche is an '86 911 (red even!) that is faster, okay, but it sits in the garage, not near as much fun. The 914 is a better car for grins. And my other DD is an '02 MR-2 with 235k miles on it. Yeah, its a better car, .....but the 914 is still more grins. And 27K miles this last year since it got off the jack stands. Here's an idea. Buy a cheap Miata to drive while you wrench the 914 to the point its dependable, then park the Miata on a high cliff out of gear.... Anyway, good luck. The fun is in the driving but also in the wrenching and meeting some fine people on the Forum. |
