Working on getting my engine parts together for the rebuild and need a half dozen or so parts done and all the stuff I see locally is large or massive part number platers.I just need a little done and looked in the vendor spot with no success. Is there somebody trustworthy that does this for our 914 restos?

Now I am confused. Easy to do to me BTW.
But, Paul Russell and Company does Pebble Beach winning restorations. So if you want that kind of thing, you will do better than that? Better than what is done on Bugatti's and Ferrari, and Ralph Loren's cars for our 914's? I guess we need that........ |

... for our 914's? Just reread and saw this. This concept is completely foreign to me. Sure, your average 914 doesn't have the same monetary value as an early 911S, or an RS, but I treat the parts exactly the same, because that's just what you do, and a 914 owner loves his car just as much, if not more, than an RS owner. Why should he be treated any less importantly than the owner of a high dollar car? Not in my book. |

I also commend you on taking the high road here, and I commend you on the quality of your work and the effort it requires. Ten minutes ago, I had never heard of you. Now, I would be sending my parts to you if I were restoring a six. But I have a four that will be converted to a six, so it is just a bit harder to justify that level of quality on my particular car. I think that is what wndsnd (and even gandalf in his own way) were saying. I may still send you some of my stuff, because I am not equipped to/nor do I like to do the work that you do. Kinda like doing a $20k kitchen remodel that increases the value of your home by $10k. Again, not taking away from your beautiful work, but I can see where the majority of us might not be your target audience. A lot of us pride ourselves on being CSOBs.
