I drove my 6 into a tree Group: Members Posts: 1,306 Joined: 21-September 14 From: montana Member No.: 17,932 Region Association: Rocky Mountains |
Very nice! I wish I was able to hall my six to you for inside longs. I would have left yesterday if... one day Mark, one day.
Don't let that blow away in the MI winter winds. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

I'm hoping that after I move back to KY next summer and we make the obligatory visit to in-laws in Battle Creek I can find a day's escape and make a visit, I just hope I don't have to trailer my car there to "see" the bench, but rather just see it.
This post also goes for Rick and the obligatory visit to in-laws in Duluth... Can one make a "pilgrimage" to see a Celette? |

Things just got real! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif) Just ordered the fixtures to adapt my old bench to the new Celette setup. They abandoned and destroyed all the old style fixtures -- the big orange ones you've probably seen in pictures. These new fixtures bring me up to date so I can once again rent fixtures for 914/911/356 (not to mention Alfa, BMW,etc).
For those others members with Celette benches, these will be available to rent when I'm not using them. We'll all chat sometime about the details. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sunglasses.gif) Attached thumbnail(s) |

Like an idiot, I welded new floor pans and stiffening kits on my 914 while it was upside down on a rotisserie and also unbraced. Lessons were learned, and the positive door gaps are a constant reminder.
I was thinking about taking out the seats and use a forklift with extended forks to fork down to fix this problem, but was pointed out from a friend that fork lifts don't push down. Can this Celette bench fix this nightmare, and how much would you estimate this to cost? |

Now that I'm finally feeling settled in MI, we gotta get the 'local' guys together this summer.Is "real" spelled with dollar signs? $$$$ Lotsa dollar signs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)Can this Celette bench fix this nightmare, and how much would you estimate this to cost? Absolutely. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Lots of variables that could change the price depending on how much work needs to be done, and how the car arrives. Without inspecting the car and the 'damage' in person it could range anywhere... From: dropping the motor and the complete suspension and the removing the stiffening kit, then pulling/pushing where necessary and reinstalling a new stiffening kit To: Just dropping the front struts and rear shocks, cutting a relief in the long and then rewelding (and reinforcing) that cut in the correct place. I also made a set of these door jigs awhile back which really help out. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-104-1146079118.jpg) |
