I hear 914's rust.
In my sleep While driving down the street While reading other peoples posts.. Dad Roberts was building kit cars and was into VW's in general around the time I was 15. He had a type4 powered "rail" that had a 1911 in it with dual Dell's. Some people down the street from my moms house had a Yellow and Black 914 in their driveway that never seemed to move. I went down and asked them how much (1000$) A month or so later my friend Stuart and I pushed it to my house. I had the 1.7 running farely quickly, but had NO idea what I was getting into. I needed parts and called a number in the newspaper for 914 parts. That person turned out to be a close friend of mine for over 15 years now. My wife currently works for his company (Oracle consulting) We bought and built 914's and 356's over a 3 year period at my friends mom's ranch house in Keller Texas. Then moved into a aircraft hanger at the Grand Prairie airport. Then... had a shop in Arlington for years. B |
