First, my apologies to 911 defector. Being a newbie, I don't know all the proper protocol. I didn't mean to jump on your thread, so I will start my own. To introduce myself, I am an old fart (67) with a young mindset. I love to drive, I wrench most of my own stuff and I still get a kick out of it. This year I sold my Carrera S and bought a 75 914 from a fellow in the local PCA club. I live on the Central Coast in CA and love all the cool roads in the area. Anyway, I am in the process of having the engine rebuilt by Mark at Original Restorations and I am doing all the rest of the prep myself. I have ordered a load of parts from Eric at PMB Performance. The car has very little rust and I have been working on that. My questions to the group is "Are you interested in seeing the progress of the re-build or would that be boring to some of you that have been doing this for a long time? I would be very open to sugestions, criticism or the like. I am not thin-skined, but I am not afraid to shoot back. So, let's hear what you have to say.

We would love to see what you're doing on your car. Post lots of pics as many of us don't want to read. We like to see what other members are doing since most of us don't have time to work on our cars and its good to see others doing what we wish we had time (and money) to do. |

Welcome,
Please post your pics and you can kind of keep a journal of your progress. It's allways cool to look back at where you were when you're done. Also, you will learn a thing or two as we all do with these cars. It's allways nice to have a few eyes on what you are doing so other memebers can let you know what they learned and maybe save you some grief. You may also learn somthing that someone can benifit from in the future. The search function will be your friend, and the knowledge you recieve will add to the group collectively. -Mark PS Lots of pics |

Are you the guy that originally thought about a Subaru engine, and has the marathon blue 914 at McMark's shop?
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I am the guy who was working on my black 914, advancing my rustoration w Mark's help. My 914 is back at home now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Just tell Mark you want deluxe service, with 914 World progress thread included! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I bet he already has some pics (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) Welcome. You're in the same house, just another room! As far as your build thread, someone always learns something from someone else's build. Would love to see your progress. It feeds our addiction.
BTW, do you have a set of good jack stands yet?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) |

Definitely share the progress - which some of us are able to make more of, faster than others. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

My dad lives in AG and we have a place over in Pismo. It would be nice to connect sometime. The Coast is my old stomping grounds. I currently live in the Valley buy come over frequently. Mark |
