914 Steel Flared Official Story and Build Thread, As long as the $$$ Lasts and the Wife gets a New Merced Options

[hwgunner]

I was searching the internet one day looking for nothing in particular, except Porsche parts, and came across a 1973 914 steel flared roller for sale. Just what I needed. Contacted the seller and asked all my questions. Tried to talk myself out of it and called the seller back the next day. We set up a time for me to make the trip to see the car, and as it turns out, the rest was history. Couldn't go see the car the first time I agreed nor the second. Made a third date and I got the big "NO" from my better half. Needless to say the seller was not too happy but what was I supposed to do? I learned from my mistakes is what I did. Forgot about the car but kept trolling the internet, as I do, between listing things on Ebay. One night I jumped over here after having a good weekend and saw this car in the classifieds. Skipped passed it and then started wondering if it was the one that I had learned my lesson on. Asked a few questions of the new seller and sure enough it was the car I so wanted months earlier. Asked a few more questions of the seller to confirm what I had been told about the car by the first guy and things jived so I made arrangements to send the payment without going to see the car. Next I tried to make arrangements to get the car transported home. This is a whole nother story but I did get the car after about 6 weeks. Then I told the wife I was getting another car, this is not un-common as I buy junkers and sell the parts on ebay, and she hemmed and hawed a bit but finally dropped it. 6 weeks later the car shows up and she says "What's that?" and I remind her that I told her I was getting another car. All's cool at LOOSMotorsports and I got THE car. DA%*, can some one re-size about 25 pics if I emil them. I need help
