Good sir, may I suggest a panacia for your problem. One thing that must go away is perhaps the bear fridge in the work shop if you have one and repalcing it with an EXppppppressso machine. As for sleep, its over rated. It will come when you need it.
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) This will slow you down also. Hey, just speeking from experience here. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) Andy Yupp do like I do, skip the Ritalin for the weekend and start the day off with a couple of espressos. Not that store bought crap but fresh ground and brewed. I keep the espresso machine fired up and brew enough to fill two coffee cups. Not espresso cups, coffee cups. That way I have some on hand all day. I just nuke a half a cup of milk add a teaspoon of honey and top it off with some of the espresso from the coffee cup. Keeps me going throuhg out the day. Of course then I cean't sleep at night so I get even more done! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

My advice is to avoid Mike.
Ever since I bought his engine parts I've been flipping between turbo or N/A, turbo or N/A, turbo or N/A, turbo or N/A, turbo or N/A.... My 914 is still on jackstands. Thanks Mike. |

Get Shannon pregnant with twins. I promise you will focus on something besides 914's..LOL
I'm going to locate another decent 1.7 car and go from there. Just drive it and enjoy it. Fix it when it needs it. This is were I was headed with the little silver car I sold. Just a solid nice stockish 1.7. Gas isnt getting any cheaper. B |

What parts do you need for your /6 restore project? Will it be factory restore or custom? |
