I'm seriously considering getting out of the 914 world. My teener has been sitting for about 6 weeks and no end in sight. I might have located an engine, but the prospect of dropping the engine and going back to a really rough shifting car is making me reconsider.

The car is in fairly good condition in terms of aesthetics. It has some nice enhancements. Some nice "custom" touches that the PO did. Lots of chrome where you wouldn't expect it. I have upgraded the brakes, installed after-market seats and replaced the clutch within the past year.

The engine most likely dropped a valve seat. I don't have the place to work on the car and the HOA is giving me a hard time about keeping my car where it is.

So... the question is.. what to do? take a HUGE loss selling the car as is? Sell it for parts and hope the HOA doesn't tow it away... or fix it.

Any thoughts you might have are welcome.
