So this is where you crazy fuchers are hanging out? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)
To be honest (last time) I've been lurking for a couple of weeks since finding this site and just wanted to say hi and introduce myself.... I've owned a six for 30 years or so but it's been buried in a storage unit for a majority of that time. I have a garage now and am planning on rustoring it as soon as my hand heals from an accident I had earlier this year. The car is an original six VIN914043281 that was originally signal orange. I bought it in '87 for something like 7k LOL. It had 74,000 miles on it but I don't know how accurate that is. It was candy apple red upon purchase and I painted it that color again after it was vandalized in SF. I don't have the original engine in it as it currently has a 911T. I find this site amazing with all the info that is stored here and the wealth of knowledge I have witnessed in these last few weeks of reading. I will have some questions for you guys in the near future and will be needing some advise as I tear into this car. Anyway I just wanted to say hello and to thank you for the laughs thus far. I'll include some photo's... Redwoods in the early nineties and one of the car as it sits today after a car wash to get the rust regenerated. Attached thumbnail(s) Attached image(s) |

Outstanding! And.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) If you do not already have a COA (Certificate of Authenticity) from PCNA, you may want to pony up the $100 or so to obtain one to very the engine number your car should have and see if it is still in the car. You may also get the original transaxle number off the COA but sometimes not. My Six is undergoing a full restoration with some minor changes to make it a suitable driver now. Check out my thread if you have not seen it already: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=188776 Welcome again and take your time deciding how and what to do to your car. Just read your build thread, thanks for the link. your car is going to be amazing.... gold? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Thanks shelby, man there are some [i]seriously gorgeous cars on this site. Very inspirational. Talented metal workers for sure. |
