That really sucks, I guess at least he knows what happened to it. A little power wash and it should run fine. Wasn't yours was it?

Sad indeed. I hope it was fresh water and ver cold. Maybe it can be restored? It didn't appear to be smashed up or anything.

It must have a cage in it to be lifted like that. Strip it to the shell.

Damn (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) . I sure hope he restores it again. Easily worth saving while it is a down to bare metal job to do. Looks to be a first rate 914-6 or conversion at the least. I sure feel for the guy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

even if its not rusty, the sediment solidifies inside the cavities. I know for a fact that you can pack over 40 pounds of dry dirt just under the gas tank...we weighed it.

looks like a very nice 914/6 GT clone...bummer

Very Funny.
Let it dry and get some buckets to haul away the dirt after it dries. I will be fine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I like the fact that the one guy was shooting a picture of the VIN. I sure he was thinking,"I must get this to Andy for the VIN database." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

Ya'll missed it. This was the one and only Factory 914 Submarine - Vin 47H2O........

Somebody forgot to roll up the windows and close the hatch when it submerged.
