My Dad gave his car five years ago , a non running project with motor and trans removed. The Porsche 914 was the first car I learned how to drive on at 12 years old beginning my love affair with these cars . Living out in the sticks allowed driving cars on dirt roads . Fast forward to now with a running subie car I had to buy him his own car again so the project begins hoping to have both cars at wcr2016

I built the Subaru conversion with the car he gave me five years ago . He didn't care about the car until I got it running then he wanted his own .

Truth! Took a kitten a while back, and she started yowling all night. Getting her spayed cost nearly 2 car payments.
