Any local World people who are driving distance to Garden City KS and can assist this new member I would appreciate it.

With Mary's permission I suggest a cruise day to her location. As part of this cruise I would suggest the locals inventory the parts she has and help her get what she needs to complete the work on her brothers car.

If you haven't read this you need to.

http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=98044

I hope I haven't over stepped my bounds by suggesting this Mary. But I really think you need a good start here. This is a very helpful group. Don't be shy and we will help.

I wish I was closer, but if I have any parts that she needs... they are free to her. post what she needs and I'll dig through my stuff... I don't have the giant "parted 3 cars out" inventory that some do, but I have a few pieces that may help.

Rick, if we have parts to donate that she needs, could you be the collection point? Or would that just be an added level of complexity that is not needed.

This is great. It looked like a lot of the hardwork was done on that 914 as well, perhaps it is ready for the sheet metal install and paint to be laid after.

(bracing the unibody etc from what I saw in the picture)

Wish I could help.

I don't have the time to make a 700 mile round trip at the moment. Which is a shame because I wouldn't mind making the trip if the timing was different.

I think it's great of you guys to offer to help even if your way out in the hinter land.

I just started a cheerleading session. If Mary needs parts and you guys have stuff to offer please sent it directly to her.

If we can get someone close to her familar with 914's to help her take an inventory we would be in a much better position to help her and her Dad piece her Brothers car back together.

As usual, you guys are the best. Let's keep bumping this for a couple days and see what develops. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon_bump.gif)

What would Howard do?

This is a good example of one of the major reasons I became involved in the 914 groups. Examples of helping people; this is just another reason to be a "caretaker" for a 914.

Any parts that I may have are yours.

Need to see at least a partial parts list or "needs list" so we can as a group see what is needed and provide accordingly without too much duplication, etc.

The thought had crossed my mind that maybe we should have an "Overhauling" episode for her 914. A bunch of us with experience, and spares show up and fix as much as we can on the car for her.

I am willing to help with anything, electrical, engine, wiring, suspension, etc...


It is a long trip up to Kansas, but I have done it before.

As soon as the list of necessary parts becomes available, I'll look through my stash and whatever I have that can be shipped I will dontate. KS is a bit too far of a ride, but whatever parts I have I'll gladly donate. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif)

I'm thinking someone will step up and get her started. If Mary wants our help she knows we are here. No strings.

We just need an inventory.

Sorry missed this thread until now - but I am here to help.

While I am no expert I can sure take a look to see what she has and what she needs. I have taken one 914 apart bolt for bolt, fixed a hell hole and welded in a new floorpan and will start putting it back together soon - so I can probably handle this.

Besides - I have read almost every post written since I joined in March of 2003. You guys/gals rock!

I will make a run to Garden City this weekend if that works with her and get a detailed list. Mary and I have chatted a bit by email last week and I will check with her today to see if that is something she wants to do.

Mary - email headed your way.....

Cheers!
