QUOTE(bbrock @ Nov 2 2022, 01:04 PM)  QUOTE(LouCity914 @ Nov 2 2022, 07:14 AM) Is it wrong that I actually love the challenge? Probably, but I share your disease. I'd much rather save a basket case than buy something in great condition. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) Carry on! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) That's what I've always said. Saving one gives much, more pleasure. I've always had to wrench, grind, weld and build. I'm way to poor to do anything else. Saved a 73 MGB recently and she loves me for it... she tells me every day I drive her!!! People with the money can buy what they want (no disrespect). Poor builders have to imagine what a car could be. Big difference. Cheers, Todd |

[/quote] Understood. I don't mind the work as it keeps me sane. [/quote] Let me get this straight; You 'graduated' from rusty MGBs to rusty 914s and you expect us to believe you're sane? I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want to buy a boat from you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) BTW, around here, sanity isn't a requirement. [/quote] I never mentioned sanity - I'm bat shit crazy. Who has an unfinished 67 MGB MK1 on a rotisserie and has to move it over to make room for the rusty Porsche 914? I daily drive a 73 B every chance I get (year round). That's the opposite of sane. I have a new Toyota Tacoma and I'd rather drive a roadster with no heat or AC! I need that smell in the morning with my coffee to wake me up!!! I think I found my crowd!!! Cheers, |

I’ll be at it awhile for sure - but it beats not having a 914 (or two lol) to save! |
