Larry (Spare Time Toys) just picked up his new donor car, the 928 for his Project 9. It was tough getting it loaded but with a little ingenuity, it’s loaded, tied down and on its way to Texas. Here are a few pictures in case none of you know who he is.

Last one of Larry securing the back to keep water out of the broken rear window on the trip home.

He needs a 2-3 inch drop hitch for the draw tight.

Why did you load it backwards ??

The reason it was loaded backward is that is the way it was in the long narrow drive, No way to turn it around and he said he wanted to roll it straight into his garage face first anyway so it was perfect. The trailer sat high on his hitch anyway. The car is more or less balanced on the trailer.

I gotcha.

I'm always amazed at the people who load 914's on trailers backwards ??? The cars are damn near 50-50 stock.. they SIT on the trailer 50-50 depending on how high the trailer tongue is...LOL I place the jacking point directly in the center of my tandem axle trailers... the jacking point is the balance point.

Mine is no longer the jack point for center however it is really close. For some reason, the front is now heavier and doesnt come up like it did before when I jack it up. You would think with the V8 in the back that it would. Any theory on that??

Hard to say. I would have to put it on some scales and figure out where the weight moved too.

Well, did I mention it was not my car?? When I found that stuff in the glove box I figured that was all there was. The guy is in Jail now. Who knows what else you will find in there. I am off to work again. Been working all day today to free up some weekday time to work on my car. So I am pushing the limits today. Hopefully I will get home before 9 tonight. I still need to put up the Christmas lights.

Are you going to be selling parts from the 928? I'm looking for a interior and a few other things.

You should see the kids going through the stuff in there (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) One of the B/W spiders that made the trip was pissed about being in texas and bit me in the back. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) that put an end to the scavenger hunt for the day.

You might want to set one of those bug bombs in your garage tonight, there's probably more than one of those Black Widows, watch out for those Brown Recluses, they're real bad. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

Glad your trip was good and sorry i missed you.

I was busy taking my 71 apart again. I figure since i'm getting good at disassembly i've got to improve on the assembly side.
