Melba (Toast) has some issues with her car, and unfortunately with Ron's passing (SLITS), she no longer has a good mechanic to help her out.
Wondering if there's some World members in the Las Vegas area that could lend her a hand making some minor repairs to her '73 914? |

I spoke with her about an hour ago ... something to do with the ignition switch and the starter wiring off the top of her head.
Again, with it sitting for an extended period of time, there's probably a few other issues that could have developed. '73 2.0L with F.I. I asked her to make a list of all the known issues ... I'm going through some of the same issues, she'll be facing ... mine has been sitting idle for 2.5 years (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |

If that's the big hangup then I'll try to make a date some weekend soon. I happen to have a lot of recent ignition switch experience (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I'd like to see the car get to RRC. And back. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) Let us know what, when and how. If she needs a fuel pump, I've a spare. God knows Ron gave me more than a few freebies. In fact, post up whatever she needs for that car. I'm not the only one that owes Ron a favor. This is a good opportunity to play it forward. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Kent |
