Hey Gang,

This looks like one this group can (and should) sink their teeth into.

Michele had her teener stolen 8 years ago and it was recovered recently (a little worse for wear).

I've offered a set of calipers up...

If you have any parts languishing in a dark dank corner of your garage or shop... perhaps the Karma Wizard may shine favorably on you if you helped Michele.

We haven't had a good feel good story here in a while and this one is a keeper:

Hi Mark,
I sent you an email this week hoping to reconnect with you. I had some medical issues that had my attention recently. Mostly behind me now thankfully. So, I am now turning my sights back to restoring my 914. Focuses next week on the brakes. Did you say you had a set of rear calipers set aside for me? If so would you be so kind as to send them to me? 1010 -17th Avenue suite A Santa Cruz, CA 95062 attention Michele/914. Please let me know what I owe you and how best to pay you. Any questions please give me a call 831.419.9997. Also not sure if there are any other parts that you collected on my behalf? I would be grateful to receive them as well so I can take them on my list and thank those who have lended a much needed hand of kindness. Sending you all the best!
In gratitude,
Michèle

Hi Mark,

I still have never heard back from you. Do you have parts that were sent your way on my behalf? If so would you be so kind as to call me or email me what has been found? I really need to get some traction with the remaining parts and then get the car to the body shop.

Thank you for your time and expertise.

Best,
Michele
