Contacted a craigslist seller last week about an ad for some Lotus Europa & Porsche 914 parts. Made the 2+ hour drive and come home with this 74 and truck bed full of fiberglass parts. I will be going back to get the orange 74 some time later this week.

Both have spent 12yrs untouched, The purple in a storage unit and the other behind a barn. What can I say, I have a sickness besides they were almost free.

the purple car is a parts car. The orange may be a good project car for someone. I will know better once I get it home.

I love Europa's! However, if you think a 914 is a money pit just wait until you price parts on a Europa!...... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

I have lost count, but I think close to 25 - 30. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Not all were parts cars, some are actually still on the road.

Working on it. I already have a buyer for it if i can get it for the right price.

You know, this being laid off stuff is a lot of fun. Going to look at a 912 in a few days. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

I think so too. I just need to prove to Julie that I can make enough money from it to keep a roof over our heads.

Went back up to Wisconsin today and brought home the other "nicer" 74. I like this picture, it turned out pretty good for a point & shoot camera.
