T,
Did Griggs give you his background ?? He crewed for Ritchie Ginther in the 70's when Ritchie was running the factory backed 914's in SCCA racing. Ginther is a icon amongst the 914 racers. Griggs grew up down the street from Ginther and Ginther saw him running around in gokarts as a kid. Cool story that he tells if you ask him about 914's. I know he is Mustang guy now.. and a Corvette guy. B |

QUOTE(Jeroen @ Jul 21 2004, 08:12 PM) Yeah, but what you can fab/fix in an hour would take me prolly a week (and the days in that week would be scattered over a 2 month period) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) cheers, Jeroen Replacing one of those sleeves looks like a daunting task even without the reinforcement in the way.
