As some of you may know, I had to rebuild the engine in my teener because of a spun rod bearing.
I invited my grand daughter to assist in the rebuild for a learning experience. Well, all is finally done. The engine is running fine, no smoke, no oil leaks. We've put about 150 miles on it so far. It runs good and strong, it pulls like a freight train. The only major issue is a fuel delivery problem that is kicking my Ass and I cannot seem to solve. Once that is done the car will be fully dependable. Below are a couple of pics of her giddyness at the car actually running after she put her effort into it.

What a great experience for you and your grand daughter! Now buy her her own project 914 and start on round 2! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif) A nice 2.0 would be cool.

Great Job! The look in her eyes tells it all!!! Both of you will remember the events for a long time.
Get the car dependable and take your granddaughter to the MUSR 11. You both need the togetherness to complete the memories. Congrates!!! Steve Hurt |

Ron,
very cool you can involve any of the younger crowd. Old cars seem to be becoming a lost hobby. My son and I took the coolest trip a few months back to pick up my Monster Squareback while delivering a real 914-6 with 275hp. He got to spend some good time behind the wheel of the 914. Really opened his eyes to what it means to drive something so pure in it's intent, no comprimise. Good on you for keeping her involved and enthused!

Steve Hurt Steve, Both my grands will tell you they wouldn't trade this past summer's weekends for nothing, but I gotta tell you, you're misreading the look in her eyes. It actually says "THAT CAR IS MINE ON MY 16TH BIRTHDAY (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) " Believe me, I can translate it. Which means that in a couple of years I've gotta be a bad guy and break a heart. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Ron |
