I have an amazing story to tell all of you!
Several weeks ago I was visiting Garold and helping him chop up a couple parts cars.
Garold had just pulled most of the useful parts off of a plain Jane 1971 914/4 it was an irish green car with no options not even the roll bar vinyl.

I am working on a couple projects and need some sheet metal parts so I asked Garold if I could grab the car from him when he had picked it’s bones clean… Garold agreed.
Garold being the generous soul that he is called and said he would bring the car to me!

We rolled the car into Kinnaman’s shop and I noticed the engine was still in the car, Garold said he didn’t have the time to pull it, he said go ahead and take the engine and transmission…it is a tail-shifter anyway.
