by the way the m-471 has not been run in at least seven years so although I would love to hand you the keys, you would get no where quickly Mark!!!!!!!!!!


It is about time we take this car out and get it running again.

Any links to those articles?

And that sort of answers my other question. When I flare my car, I'm planning on using the 2.0 fuchs and not going 5 lug. I have 205x60x15 so there's a lot more tire than original and I want to keep it from being "over-tired" and sluggish. I was thinking about 25mm of spacers since the wheels are 5.5" Nice to hear I will have a similar stance to the factory GT. I'm not trying to build a replica, just look right for me. Also have my eye on a pair of all leather GTS LeMans seats. Never cared for vinyl seats ( I know I'l catch hell for that statement).

Oh, talked to Jake Raby lat night. making plans for project 2270!

Yes - I'll be available when you get it running again. It's only a 1500 mile round trip for me. Hmmm, going to be at Hershey, PA?

I actually drove that car up there years ago for a 914 owners association meeting. Driving back at speed through the Shenandoah valley with the top off was tremendous.

I have my six dead presidents for the flares. Now I just have to talk myself into pulling the trigger. With money as tight as it is these days 600.00 is a wad to have just sitting around for a year or so until I can afford to pay somebody to install the flares. Still thinking........sure wish this had taken place in March. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

And I promise you that it will never happen again. Although we have the tooling paid for (that is why the price is so low) we will never again get the quantity together to make another run, so although they will continue to be popular we will not come off the tooling included price of 1150 a set and the best wholesale break will be 795 for a quantity. Plus we have to run a hundred sets, and with all of the other stampings we have planned the flares will not be made again any time soon (AND YOU KNOW WHAT SOON MEANS AT AUTOMOBILE ATLANTA from the thread about "I owe
George an apology!!) (excuse the capitals, new keyboard!)

Great. Just as I'm getting enough scratch together for an engine you make me think about another set of flares. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

The body is the most important thing. If you have no body you have no car. One can get a lot further with a good body than with a good engine!!!!!!!

Is that Blue Gemini Blue or Adriatic Blue? I think you have both but I was curious which one this is.
