"I knew the tank would be bad. 20 years of sitting would do that to any tank but I think the rest of the car will be ok. I told Scott I don't want to do it if it needs major work. No long replacement, major panel work, ect. If it needs that, I'll put it away and buy a car that's already been redone. I don't think its worth putting big money in these cars when there are good ones available for less than cost of good restoration."

We live in a free country, and you are free to change your mind, Mark.

God knows I have when it comes to my 914s.

The gauges look even better in person. I had sent him old, crappy gauges so when I pulled them out of the box, I was blown away. The LEDs are just icing...

Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I wasn't sure where to set the controller to switch to red,so I set the threshold around 5800 rpm.

The engine builder said the redline is 6800. I'm sure we can make some adjustments.

No adjustments needed, this controller has a built in rev limiter which will keep the engine from exceeding 5800rpm,,,kidding! Yes, this is a easy adjustment.
