Saturday March 15th, my best friend (timothy_nd28: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=8154) is coming out to Tucson to help me get my 72 1.7l 914 project up and running. He will be in town for about 5 days and here is our agenda:
1. Install L-Jet FI
2. Install new windshield
3. Install a new carpet kit
4. Install stainless steel fuel lines
5. A few other miscellaneous updates.

Our goal is to get the car finally running after rescuing it from a local scrapyard in 2012.

Wondering if we might find some Tucson (and/or southern AZ) World members who would be interested in coming over to lend a hand, some experience, and camaraderie.

Plenty of food and beer would be provided. And to top it off, Tim has offered to bring and personally install his LED gauge back-lighting kits for the first few who show up.

Please PM me if interested!
Cheers!
JP

I'd be interested but I'm having knee surgery next week, so don't know how well I'll be able to walk around or driviing by the weekend. What area of town will you be at? I am on the far east side. If you are nearby you are welcome to come by and see the full ground-up rotisserie 73 build I have been working on. It is almost finished.

I'll come help if Tim can put LEDs in my gauges.. just kidding (kind of (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) ). I could probably come by on the weekend and lend a hand, not that I'm worth a shit, lol! Keep me updated on when and where.

JP, I'd be glad to lend a hand. Out of town at the moment, so need to check my work load before finalizing.

Shoot me the details.

Dang, where were all the Tucson people hiding when I was living there??? I bought my car in Phoenix and did my conversion while I was stationed there at Davis-Mothan AFB. Actually wish I was still there!

Thanks George. We are getting started about 10am AZ time, so feel free start drinking then! Since this is the Saturday before St. Patrick's Day, we most certainly will

JP, got your details and I'm planning on making it.

Do you need a set of wheels? I have four of these - in decent shape that I won't be using. If you'd like them I just ask to trade for the steel wheels so I can have something to roll the car around with.

Let me know and I can bring them Saturday.

Gerard, yes please! I will get the tires off my steel wheels tomorrow and have them ready for you on Saturday.

Thank you!

Awesome wheel score!

I was thinking about it this afternoon, and I realized, in the 2 years since I caught the 914 obsession, I've never met the owner of another running 914. Bought mine not running, looked at a few others that were also not running. Met lot's of people who had them back in the day, many more who wanted them back in the day, and even a few with a couple up on blocks, but no one with a running car.

Pretty excited to meet some 914 people. Wondering if you're all as off as I am.

Mike, I kind of know how you feel. I have seen at least 3 here in Tucson out on the road, but I have never met any of the drivers. Really looking toward to meeting you guys on Saturday!

JP,
Need any parts? I see from your pic that you are missing the side marker, I think I have 1 or 2 spares..

I can probably make it by in the early afternoon.

Thanks Jason!

I did already pick up a couple of new side markers. If by chance you have a gasket for the front oval lens (not the side marker), I could use one of those. Pretty sure I can find one on 914rubber if not.

At the moment, I cannot think of anything else I need. But I will take inventory and let you know by this evening.

Thank you for the offer!
