I actually feel more like a 914 owner now. I worked with John to install the rear view mirror and the sun visors. I ended up removing the sun visors after I finished installing the mirror because with the 911 seats, we're up too high for the stock sun visors.
I really enjoyed it & think I'm going to really love learning how to do mechanical stuff (never had an interest before). I also did some trouble shooting last night & figured out what part we needed (ignition switch) and then poured over online catalogs until I found the part. I didn't even know the name of it so I could simplify the search...I just did the whole trial & error method. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Ok...now for the long-awaited answer to the "what do I get him for the anniversary since he got me a 914..." Many of you suggested getting him a matching one...and there were lots of other great (and some funny) suggestions, too. We made a deal today & he's going on the road to inspect a 914 on Wednesday. If it looks like it's as good a car as it sounds like, he'll be towing it home (it has tight suspension, so a 6 hour drive in it doesn't sound appealing). Funny thing. It is a matching car. It's white just like mine. It is a Chevy V8, though & is constantly bugging me about having more power. Sounds like I have ground to ask for some additional doodads for my car to make up for it, eh? YAY...we'll have bookend cars in our garage & I won't have the only 914 in Birmingham. Stacie Thrilled to feel like a REAL 914 owner. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) That's exactly what I'm afraid of...things I didn't know I needed or wanted. As a matter of fact we went to Harbor Freight and bought jack stands and a floor jack...just for fun. Yep, we're hooked. Stacie |
