So what started as a request for a mechanic recommendation
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?s=&...t&p=2248578
Has turned into a community event invitation.
I have a 1971 with a rod knock 1.7 and a tired tail shifter that I have a 1911 and a side shifter that need to be swapped.
I have found that I lack the time to get there and get it done, but with the encouragement and support of local community members it has turned into a party.
I will be inviting any and all of you to join me at my garage to enjoy camaraderie, bbq, drinks and a 914. What else could you ask for?
Well if you contribute to the work, I even have small (very small) thank you gifts/prizes. I know it is not much, but I wanted everyone to know how much I appreciate the support.
Please reply to this thread if you think you can come. I will pm you with address times etc. You don't have to be a mechanic or even mechanically inclined. There will be chairs and snacks for everybody, even if you are only coming for moral support and to watch the mayhem.
When we are done there will be pictures and stories to share, and if all goes well, my car will be a runner once again.
Spread the word and please RSVP. There is over a month to plan and I want to make sure that I have plenty of everything for everyone.
Party at my garage! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
I hope to see you there (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
