Doing some box scavenging in the attic I found a pic of my first 914. If my memory serves me its a 73. Had a rollbar, konis, stiffer springs and torsion bars. Dont remember if it had sway bars or not. It was a 1.8 w/ dual dellortos and an aftermarket exhaust. It was LOW and handled like it was on rails, literally. I bought the car from a guy in Blue Springs Missouri who had a couple of them. He used to autocross it. Wish I could track that guy down again... but that was in like 93 or so... I sold the car to move back to Germany back in 94 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I have nothing in the attic but boxes from recording gear, and a few old guitar parts stored in freezer bags.
If you'd asked me 4 years ago, I would have replied, "I have a 914 in my attic.".. and I did. The attic over the garage in Orlando had a complete 2.0, minus the frame, and the motor, expertly crammed in it. M |

Hm. Too bad you're in IL, or I'd be interested in taking that 1100 and the gearboxes off your hands (I have a '63 and a '64). This would be doubly so if any of those gearboxes was a remote shift (not rod change).

All kinds of crap that should go to the thrift store. So I can have more room for car parts.

The attic in the garage has a bunch of future garage sale stuff (crap I don't want but maybe somebody else does) Also up there are some bags with my commercial fishing gear, I'm kind of afraid to open those, can't remember how good they were washed before being put away and everytime I move them I notice a distictly fishy smell. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)
Oh yea and the closet doors from the kids rooms, the folding kind, one pinched finger and mom decided they needed to go. |

If my wife caught me trying to store car parts in the attic...
You guys are either really sneaky, or have a REALLY cool SO. |

nuthin. that's right, nuthin. the wife wants to store stuff up there, but after seeing her parents' house, where she got the idea, i am discouraging the idea to say the least.
besides, if i need to store car parts, i will take it down to Dino's and have him put it the stuff in his garage rafters... hmmm... maybe not, on second thought. i would like to find them again! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |
