Hey nice rack! -Celette Group: Members Posts: 20,460 Joined: 30-December 02 From: Now in Superior WI Member No.: 43 Region Association: Northstar Region |
I got the vin with my zoom! The car is located in Superior WI. I have been driving by it now for a couple years. I got the owners name and phone number today. It looks like it still has the engine in it. The turn signal switch is still on the column maybe a couple other things...

I got the vin with my voom! Nice work Rick, I think you can safely kill that one in the VIN registry. Even FourBlades isn't reviving that one! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

This is certainly not what I expected down here. Group: Members Posts: 849 Joined: 21-May 09 From: Bodymore Murderland Member No.: 10,389 Region Association: MidAtlantic Region |
No sail/targa vinyl and not an LE.
I think my car is a true 75 no targa/sail vinyl car. I have to get back under to look. |

What's wrong with it? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Yeah, all it needs is a little sanding ... maybe some POR15 and it'll be concours ready* in no time! *for the 914 "Concours Ready" means painted jackstands |

I am deeply troubled and truly surprised no one has suggested JB Weld. What's wrong? The cultists off today?

Hey Rick,
If they are parting that car out, I might be interested in the longs. |

I bit of patience (Ok a lot of patience) and that's fixable. The car I just restored bent in 1/2 the opposite way to that when I put it on the bench. A lot of welding, a nice set of flares and you would never know it broke in 2...... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)
BTW the rust on mine (sail panels and windshield) looked as bad as that too. |
