The last few years I have barely touched my car, maybe drive it once/month to move the fluids and keep the tires from being too square.
Last year I spent a bunch working through my backlog and telling myself I'd drive it more (fixed a bunch of oil leaks, restored the original 6 heat exchangers, etc.) annnnd I haven't. So what to do. I've been with a 914 since 1995 (hello Porschephiles mailing list!) - so there's a fair bit of a inertia there.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) If I do sell it, what's the best way to sell a somewhat unique (tastefully unique?!) conversion car? Slap it on eBay and wait?

Repro polished stainless steel early-style bumpers, undrilled front bumper, new factory chromed fog grills New bumper tops Center reflector insert Fresh wiper arms and nuts Rust bubbles from bad windshield install, jackpoints should be ground off and replaced Hell hole is solid, as is the rest of the car Interior: Remanufactured dash top with ashtray delete German loop carpet in cinnamon Brown vinyl interior 9/10 Restored gauges + custom 4 gauge (oil, temp, volts, fuel) Momo prototipo steering wheel + offset spacer for more leg room 6" round speaker pods 8" fiberglass subwoofer in passenger footrest location Factory leather shift gaitor New aluminum door sills Lots of fresh gaskets and other details Others: Brakes & suspension gone through - replated & rebuilt rear calipers, rebuilt front calipers and new MC, Bilstein HD shocks + Ground Control coilovers Optima Redtop AGM battery Many many other small details I'm sure I've forgotten Stuff todo: Fresh air blower doesn't work Fog lights disconnected |
