I am in need of advice. At this stage of life I find it very difficult to ask since this involves something I have really enjoyed but have to give consideration to the real world realities.
I am considering selling my Porsche 914-Sixer which I have had as a hobby for the last 12-15 years. We have been through a lot together in building, parts location, and conversion to a 3.2 Carrera 1987 engine, a lot of new/rebuit parts, some differences in heating and cooling systems, etc. In sum it is a rolling chassis which has been brought to line, painted, and currently licensed in Oregon. It has numerous changes, additions, and improvements over the years which are to many to mention at this stage. We have even been through a theft of the car and all the parts (new and used) to complete a 916-GT. Car was recovered but the entire stock parts stockpile was stolen. The problem is that I no longer have the deep interest in finishing the car; WHY? Time has caught up to me in attitude, interest, health and physical aspects. My concern is whether to sell the entire car, part it out, or just let it set in the garage. I could continue to work on it but this seems to be a little self-defeating. This dilemma requires me to seek advice. So here I am !! What are your thoughts? Please be open and practical; I have not said too much on this forum since I have enjoyed every aspect and gained knowledge from all the members. Frankly, I do need advice on this problem Thanks Steve Shogun eagle (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

Steve, what do you need to get back on track? Is there something that is physically demanding which requires a hand? Are you looking at the big pic and feeling overwhelmed? The thing about not being "turned on" by your 914 happens with age. You don't care about impressing anyone and your not driving the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) out of it anymore for many reasons; all of them good.
I guess what I'm asking is this; what can we do that would help? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Kent |
