I'm new here figued I'd introduce myself. I'm a Porsche and aircooled VW nut since my first car a 74 beetle at age 16. I've had over 30 early vw's and on my third P-car a v-ram 993. First Porsche was a 72 914 that broke in half! I bought a 2004 Boxster and then the 993. My wife and I just had our first child so After much deliberation I've decided to sell my 96 993 C2 to free up some cash.
I've decided to go back with my favorite Porsche the 914. I'm currently shopping for a nice original car that I can purchase. I want to go with the a 916 look with a STI engine and 915 trans. I will be using the Renigade conversion kit with 911 suspension, cup wheels, and steel flares. If anyone has any good links on this conversion It would be appreciated. I have a bit of a problem with speed. After much research the 914/subaru hybrid seems like it was Made for me! Some pictures of my cars: first is my 993 that is currently for sale, then my 59 euro RHD deluxe sunroof beetle I'm restoring (IMG:http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid225/p0e22946b45c13197386ecfc5e8d4da9b/e81b77d8.jpg) (IMG:http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid225/p2887df7f1c68f9f73537a8568de64b90/e81b76f3.jpg) (IMG:http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid225/p974adbc2433f9c0e74edccc08b621a38/e99fea86.jpg) |

Hi, and welcome! First, I'm Cap'n Krusty. Some think me carmudgeonly, others think I'm just rude or unkind. I see myself as a voice for reality...... (no, really!).....
Since you're a new guy, I'm gonna go easy on you ................. You mention freeing up some cash as a reason for selling the 993. In reality, with your stated plan, you're not even trading dollars! You're gonna be in the hole by 20-25 %! Maybe you should do the math .......... Buy someone else's completed project and be done with it. It could save you maybe 50% or more. Did I say welcome? Nothing against dreaming, but we all need to give some thought to the reality of our plans at some point. The Cap'n |
