Trying to help a single mother who is being badly ripped off by "Strictly German" in Pasadena CA. They have had her car for over 6 months and nothing has been done. Her budget was $800 when she brought the car in.
What makes this a horrific story is that she is a single mother with three sons. First son suffers from severe Hemophilia A with spontaneous bleeding and is legally blind. Second son suffers from epilepsy with nocturnal seizures. Third son is ok. This car was their only mode of transportation and would have been used for groceries, etc.. They do not have a car and must take buses and walk. She is a brilliant sculptor and is barely making ends meet. The only wish she has is to have her 1975 Porsche 914 repaired and running. Her story is truly compelling, and deserves to be made into a film. I can't tell you how many times her Hemophiliac son has cheated death. Just incredible story. Her name is Jessica and her sons are Leonardo, Brian and Vance. They live in Arcadia, CA. If there is anybody in the 914 community that can help or offer some sort of lead to fix Jessica's car, please contact me. My name is Nick and I can be reached via email at: nigolusa@icloud.com, or my cell number (626) 979-4230. I am a family friend and have sacrificed so much for them. The 914 is a dream I cannot fulfill since I am unemployed. Thanks all for your help and resources. Attached image(s) |

I think her best option is to get the car out of that shop, they obviously don't know 914's. She's just racking up a bill and nothing productive is being done. And speaking of productive, to keep telling her to sell her car is not helping to get it running. I thought we were here to help people with their cars, not encourage them to give up.
Since no one in the area has offered, it's a ways, but if you get the car out of the shop it's in, you're welcome to bring the car to my shop at my house. I have a lift all the tools we would need and a lot of members in the area who would come over and help. We can get her car back on the road....no charge. Only problem is I'm near Sacramento so getting it here could be a challange. But if you can get it here, I'll make sure it gets back on the road for her. First you need to get it out of the shop, regardless of where you take it. I would try and get out of the carb deal if she can, if he hasn't installed it maybe he can send it back to reduce the bill to get the car out of there. Good luck, no one should have to give up their dream car!!! Jeff |
