Phenominal, I'd like to meet the DAPO just to congratulate him on surviving. I must admit though when I got my '74 it had the same ignition switch that yours has, only without the safety cover. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)

Amazing what folks do.



I guess most Porsche owners never go through a poor student phase. I grew up in a rural little town in Ohio, we bought $400 cars that had to get us home from wrestling practice and to our fast food jobs. We kept a spool of bailing wire in my buddy's VW Bug for wiring on whatever fell off. When the floor pan fell out, we got a piece of steel from another guy who's dad worked at Hess & Eisenhardt - they made armored limousines - and so the passenger was safe from shooters hiding under manhole covers, and the whole car sagged to that side. One friend was either a driver or passenger in 6 wrecks that totalled the car- three were roll-overs and one he had to be cut out of. Never got a major injury. My cousin had so many cars catch on fire, we joked that she could always instantly find her car in a crowded parking lot. No one thought much past the day when we could escape that little town.

I went through a poor student phase, but my victims where VW's, mainly Bugs back in the 80's. Oh the things a teenager will do to keep a VW Alive....wait, isn't that a book?

I had a 914 in high school and wasn't independently wealthy, but I did understand that there was a right way, a pretty close to right way, and the bastard fixes.

The last was only to limp home.

Did the car still shift? Could you find all the gears?

I can't imagine the shifter geometry was anywhere near correct.

I don't mind that trans fix, but I'd like to see at least 1-2 threads exposed on that nut just to be safe (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)
