How are the little rollers that ride up and down in the front post? Did you replace the press on fuzzy strip that goes on the inner top door lip?

That's a nice Dub! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I'm with Oscar, hard to believe after that last stunt you pulled in April but I do see the 914 in the garage still, so I think it is for real. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

What a cool pairing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

What I am trying to figure out is how your 914 has not yet been COTM. Just has "the look," which isn't always easy to do with narrow body cars.

Keep on keepin' on.

Thanks, Pete.

No, no trick. I'd been looking for a while for an old bug and this one was family owned for many, many years in San Diego. I took the train down on Friday to drive it back. It's a two owner car, I'm the third owner. The guy I bought it from is 86 years old and suffering from Alzheimer's. He was so happy for me, but I don't think he really knew what was going on. Great family to deal with, and I bought it at a very fair price too. It's quite complete, some things need to be addressed as far as upholstery, but nothing bad.

Funny, when I was getting ready to sign the paperwork and get going with it, they kept loading it up with old parts. Mostly brake drums and other heavy stuff in boxes. I haven't gone through it all, but it was a LONG drive home up the coast.

I wanted to toss brake drums out on the side of the freeway to lighten the load. I goes about 65 top speed. 36 horsepower isn't quick.

Wow, what a beauty! You could build your old 4 and drop it in... 100hp would be better for safety, cruising, your patience, etc. You'd never need to push it and just enjoy the ride - of course keep the original engine. But an amazing find - congrats!

My girl friend and I did one of these up years ago,the motor had been fully recond with all new parts by the aircraft engineer we bought it off,the gearbox was really sick so we adapted a later box,the old girl drove really well after we did the brakes up.
Great score enjoy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) .

The tires were out of date and cracked, so I put a new set of Firestone bias ply on today.

Even though I'm not a bug fan (hated being shoved in the back of them on hot days), Just opening your garage door and seeing the two cars, side by side, must make you very happy. Congrats. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Even I am hesitant to call (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bs.gif) at this point. However, I expect to see it first hand at Suspension Swap Saturday before offering heartfelt congratulations!
