The 914 is still at Sean's, and he's been radio silent for the past week or so now. Has anyone heard from him?

> The car has been what, a year, at his shop now?

Unfortunately, almost a year - a little over 10 months now. This is exactly what I was hoping wouldn't happen when I dropped it off, but here we are 10 months later. And it's really not clear to me if it's going to take another 10 months (or more), so I'm just going to move on and find another shop to finish the work.

It's just been way too long and we've been "a week away" from finishing the project since June. Argh.

My hunch is there is probably only 20 hours or so (or less?) to finish the car, but its just been impossible to find time in Sean's schedule for some reason.

Sean is still radio silent on me. If anyone hears from him, I'd appreciate it if you would ask him to give me a call or email or PM.

Wow - it's been a year since I last posted.

I did eventually get my car back from Sean. If I remember correctly, I was only billed for ~40 hours of work but he had the car for 11 months. That was really frustrating.

I had been hoping to get it back together before I moved, but that didn't end up happening. But now the new garage is mostly unpacked and ready to go, and I hope to find some time in the next several months to get him back together...

So, so glad you saved this car. It was beautiful before, and is again.

Too cool.

Wow, that's quite the harness build! Someone has some skills; that concentric twisting looks really good. Do you have pictures of the final product and Vi-Pec install?

914

need to spray the engine compartment and wheel wells after the metal repairs and then hopefully is a fairly straightforward reassembly.

Surface rust cleanup done for the welding done, and black paint to protect things.
