Martin and I had some ideas for another project so I ended up finding two 914s that were too far gone and were never (I know, never say never) going to be restored.
Among other things, Martin wants a "utility vehicle" and starts talking about a 914 flatbed.
I send him the Photoshop pic, saying, "You mean like this?"
He gets all excited and says "I'm coming over to measure those chassis..."
Out come the tapes, straight edges, a couple crappy seats and some wood blocks. Much head scratching later, we both look at each other and say "I think we could make this work."
Maritn says, "Let me draw up some ideas..." and heads home.
I wonder what he'll come up with this time...
