I wrecked my first 914 after about a month of owning it. Here is my Second Chance. (Title fits with second chance to life as well
I bought this car for $500 in sequim WA. After towing, food, title, parts (mostly off of my wrecked car), I have about $1000 into it. Things Done: - Prepped and painted hood and fender (bondo on fender...it was a mess) - Troubleshoot f.i., ended up being cold start sensor and fuses! - Replace drivers seat hinges, as well as seats and interior from other car - Fix Shifter: Bushings, roll pin. - Go through electrical fuses and put together/fix left side. - Change wheels from wrecked parts car. - Misc. maint... - Put the whole thing back together...we had pics of what kind of wreck it was in when I bought it...unfortunately the pics got deleted accidentally. Thankyou all for your help!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I couldn't have done it without this site. I wouldn't have even attempted it without this site. You have put another 914 back on the road and blessed me with the little car. Thankyou Here are some pics...forgive the bike...that's another piece of pride I put together... Attached image(s)

Congrats on the car, and the new outlook. I am living proof that you can be what you want if you comit to achieving it.
I was the aimless drunk pampered college athlete until I invited my head coach to kiss my ass. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) Seemed like the right thing to do at the time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) After they yanked my scholarship, I found out what college really costs, and that I couldn't afford it. Wandered from crappy job to crappy jobfor a few years until I spent one summer working in hell, which was cleverly disguised as the 12 hr night shift in a metal heat treating factory. I wasn't jail, but in many ways it was worse. I finally heard the wake up call, made a plan to get back to school, and actually gave a damn this time. That was nearly 20 years ago, and I live a life now I couldn't have forseen in my wildest dreams. Go for it my friend. It is do-able with the right attitude. |
