Well things are progressing. The shop that built my Motor (Formerly Zotz Garage NOW German Excellence) was tasked with checking out the engine and dash gauge wiring, getting the engine fired up, tuning the carbs and aligning the front and rear suspension. The motor fired today for the first time! A sweet sound to my ears after so many years of work on this project. There a few more details to work out....and the plan is to drive the car up to the Tropical Ramble next week! Click the YouTube link below and enjoy the sound.

That is the goal...we had several challenges this week but we cleared some hurdles today and Monday could be the final day at the shop. I am staying positive!

Everthing came together and I drove the car for the first time Thursday night! It has a 2.2 E Spec motor built on an original 914/6 case. It drives fantastic and sounds great!! Stayed up late to get it ready for the Tropical Ramble the next day...Joe having the Tropical Ramble as my final goal to get the car done was awesome! As you all know it has been an incredible journey to get this ride back on the road. Many folks to thank...Harro Zitza - RIP (Zotz Racing), Don Northrop & Rick Brian Bell (German Excellence), TC, Rick F, Paul W, Rob W, Rich Johnson, Eric (PMB), Jonathon (GPR), Glenn Sager (Pelican), James (Patrick Motorsports), Joe (Series 9), Serigo Meza, Tom (B.A.M.), Adam Masters, Christopher Nye, Mike Danganan, my daughters Amanda & Sara and my wife Leslie. Here are a few pics from the last few days...I couldn't have been more fun!

So I rode with Brian to dinner on Saturday nite at the Ramble. I got out of the car in the parking lot and closed the door on the seat belt and it was caught in the door. I went to open the door and when I pulled the handle I felt the plastic slider tab break off. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Yep, that's right. I'm the guy that fixes broken door handles and I broke his. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Brian, PM me your address and I'll send you a couple of replacement sliders. SORRY! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif)
