Had a great day today !
I talked to the original owner of a car I've owned for more than ten years. The car is a 1970 914 6 It was also owned by a member here who was active for a long time. The original guy bought it at Rusnak Porsche in Pasadena and was kept it for several years. It still has its original engine and transmission and I have all the parts. He was a member of POC The car was serviced at 'Scientific Automotive' ......anyone familiar? The original owner is now 96 years old and was very happy to hear about the car. He remembered very specific details. This is a first for me and despite the cars condition and past damage I'm thrilled. Rory Attached image(s)

Rory - you told me about this one but had it stored away. Nice collection you have going. How far along are you on the GT build.

Hey Mark You know what they say about cost and time......triple both. I've made some progress. My biggest issue is paint and surface rust removal. I'd love to dip it but the longs are closed and stiffened so the mufflers would dissolve. I've driven a sand blasted 356 across the country. Every time you shut the door more sand would appear. What to do ? I love the process and the fabrication. It's just too slow. Plus, I managed to break my fibula in December......doesn't help. I hope spring and summer will be productive.

You can see that I added the jack receiver (s)....other than that ? mostly in the compartments for engine mount,oil cooler, the one flair was installed , couple patches, and other stuff too. The leg is getting better every day. Rory Hi Rory, Hey that 914 looks pretty familiar... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Hope you feel better soon so you can get back to it.. Take care, |
