I did get a few pics before I bought them and even sent them to another member for verification. They looked alot better in the sellers pics. than in real life. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) they did look like SS in the pics, couldn't see the rust either ...

Hi, I have a spare 75 914 parts car in my attic. Think the engine is a 1.8. Where are you? I'm in San Diego, Ca. I have the exhaust, looks in pretty fair shape, will try to attach a couple of pictures. Anyway, if you're close, come pick them up, I'll charge you a cup of coffee at the coffee house down the street.

Here's one more shot of them. They look kind of ruff in the pictures, but I've cleaned up worse, haven't noticed any spots of rust going thru. The spare car was a fire car, guy bought it didn't check fuel line for age. Here in San Diego, there's a company, RW Little that does Powder Coating, Flame Spraying, I've used them for years on my Harley & Porsche's always excellent work and on time. Take Care, Don

My problem is that I didn't really need them. The ones I have are fine, I was just trying to upgrade to SS. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif)

LOL, I just bought this camera, I have no idea on how to reduce the size of the pics. But you have to admit, great detail. Anyway, send me a email if you want them. I've got other parts for a 914-4 I don't need. Talk to you later, oh yeah, here's a pic you might like.

That purdy....you have to reduce your photos in a photoshop type program before posting.

Was the HE purchase off Ebay or the classifieds section of the board? Have you contacted the sellar? Mabey he didn't know what they were either and thought they were SS. Talk to him. They might make it right.

I bought them from a guy who posted on pelicans site. Paid through paypal so I might have some recourse. I'll give him a chance to fix it.

I'm guessing that you can access your attic other than with the pull-down ladder. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

That's funny. Someone gave me a free pair of HEs and they turned out to be 1.7L SSIs. They had so much baked on crud on them that I thought they were just regular steel until I cleaned them up.

Great (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) I have found that most eBayers are just honest folk - well, with the exception of the deadbeats (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) but ya kinda expect that these days.
