Some of my other non 914 Projects all are curently owned by me and being worked on at the same time. (not the best plan doing all these at once but it keeps me from getting bored.)

1. 1964 Ford Fairlane 500 289 auto (owned since 2002)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i132.photobucket.com-12683-1300194449.1.jpg)

Just 1 little thing.
The engine's dead, the rig is incomplete, most of the electrical is inoperative, the fuel tanks have water in them, the water tanks have mold in them, $1000.00 of dead batteries, solar panels dead, hydraulic steering leaks, etc., etc.

Wow, running or not, that boat is beautiful!

I am still plodding along on cramming the 6 into the Martini car. Lots of other little projects on the other cars as they come up. The new C-type replica should be here by May (I hope).

I can already see the buds starting on the trees in the back yard. Call me crazy, but I am looking forward to getting the yard back up to snuff when spring hits. For some reason, I really enjoy that.

That's a damn nice boat!

I have a 67 Chevy truck I need to get back on the road. The 914/6 resto needs to gain momentum. But right now the biggest priority for me is slowly but Shirley getting my new big-ass garage into shape. I won't bore you pics. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

BTW, if I haven't said it before, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png)

I'm working on this:
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/media.cdn-redfin.com-50-1300238514.1.jpg)
My parents bought a house close to me, it was a short sale and needs EVERYTHING done to it. It's been taking up every weekend for the past 3 months.

Once it's done, we'll fix up their current house to sell. I'll be so excited when I can get back to work on the garage finishing and my basement.

My Irish Pub-themed Man-Cave. Three years in on this project, and I have done everything except the drywall (unless you are a pro, it ain't worth it) and the major electric work (I didn't want my house to burn down). All the faux paint, the woodwork, stain, tile, flooring, plumbing, etc. has caused my 914 to be up on stands for the past 3 years. The good news is that I should finish the basement this spring!!! My goal is to drive the teener this summer.

This photo was sorta near the end of the restoration, but the drums looks alot cleaner today. It's a 1966 Ludwig 'Hollywood' in White Marine Pearl.
