Always like using the Smiles: Why? Need to celebrate? Yep! My car is now on the road driving around the Southern Oregon area. Have to correct a few things but it looks like it is dependable.
Why is getting this car done important? We moved from Flagstaff, AZ to Grants Pass, OR about three years ago. The car was stolen along with all the used and new parts I had obtained. We got the car back without any of the auto parts. For two and half years I did not even think or let alone want to work on the car. I did find myself going to our great website following "the happenings" on these car. I started the gradual accumulation of the missing parts. Fast forward; it was through the members I got involved with the cars with good pricing on some critical parts, some free parts, and just reading what everyone was doing with their cars. Got the car running but it had problems so I could not take it to WCR 2016 (I was there having a great time). For this I owe a great amount of thanks for all our members for just being interested in the 914; and, SPECIAL THANKS for the people who gave me great pricing, free items, and the support that was included. Just a great bunch of people which reflects why I joined back in 2002! THANK YOU!! Now I have to figure how to attach photos. but first the smiles: Mike, here is your 'dancing banana (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) I always get a kick out of it.

It's like Christmas except you got what you really, really wanted. Wonderful news and it is good to hear that the car is doing great, as well. Wow, 3 years ago; already? It takes determination to turn around a situation that would knock many a player out of the game. Back home they would have said, "He fell in a bucket of (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) and came out smelling like a Rose!" Well played, sir.

The interior is still being worked on and this where I really got hit by the theft. Should have some pictures of the underside, engine compartment, and interior this next week when I put it on a rack.

Not door panels but about everything else I should have |
