Looking to relocate to Austin Texas and I am not looking for People to help me unload. I am looking for people who are 914 and Porsche people. Any Texans?

hey there, I just moved here to Austin with my Wife back in March. We are settled now and finally working on my 914.

I found a mechanic who claimed to be great with 914s and type IV motors. I chose him to do my rebuild from a 1.8 to a 2056.

Well after 2 months, and a few grand in, I called to see how it was going. The next day he said he was mad I was asking him his progress and quit my build!!!

I had to drive two hours away to pick up my chassis and 5 boxes of engine parts, completely disassembled.

Basically, beware who you find to work on your baby. Drop me a PM when you get in town to meet up. I am sending my engine out to FAT performance to bail me out from the horrible mechanic, I should have it back in a few weeks.

Looking forward to meeting more teener fans.
