914 Angels, What Do You Think? Options

Yes and I'd help too. I don't have a ton of parts or the best tools, but I will help where I can. I too have 3 little kids, and not a ton of time, but I can try to make it work.

I love the idea. At this time in my life though, I don't have the time, resources, or energy (2 kids <5 yrs old) right now to support it physically or financially. But I think it's a great idea.

edit: I should add, that I have recently been the recipient of the good will of some "914 angels", and my car would not be running right now without their generosity.

I voted yes, but I am in the same boat as Josh as far as how much spare time I have. But I wouldn't mind giving up an occasional Saturday to lend a hand. I also have some spare parts. Sad to say the loved one's usually don't share our sickness and just want to get rid of the car, tools, etc and move on. We might be better off offering our services to make sure the loved one's don't get ripped off when trying to unload the unifinished project and tools. We could even advertise for them, take pictures, etc...

This post has been privatized based upon multiple suggestions to work with "select people" for the purpose of organizing a "914 Angel" group. This group is private to allow those people who want to get involved, to get involved, in a "planning" forum outside of the regular posts.

The main goal is to help fellow 914 owners in various needs, on a case by case basis, as needed, when needed IF POSSIBLE. Using mainly support from other owners, help is voluntary, and should be managed very carefully, especially when or if money raising is involved. There are many criteria that come into play and not all people can be helped. That said, many people can be helped, and many people here like to help. Managing that process and effort is a key to success.

If you are reading this, chances are you have been asked to be a "914 Angel". Nothing is required from you, and it is likely you are here because you decided to help someone, and a fellow "914 Angel" noticed.

This is a work in progress, and may remain a behind the scenes network, or may fail, or may succeed. I figure, it doesn't hurt to try.

Thank you for your participation and interest. If this isn't your thing, thanks anyway but please keep our network and Angels in confidence.
