Motor swap in the truck is done, prop valve on the rear of the Jeep is done, now 4 out of 6 cars are on the road again. OK, so one is a parts car. That only leaves one 914/6 to go. Motor and tranny are coming out this weekend to prep for body shop and rust/collision repair. The silver 72 donor is going under the knife (read, sawzall).

Ginter,

I thought you did'nt like us anymore. You must have been REAL busy. I just dropped a 9146 off at the painter today. Somewhere on the board there is a thread with a 9146 on the rotisserie. I think I named it: "I flipped a 914 today"

Welcome back. Tell Wifey I said hello...then start planning on the SSI swap meet trip at the end of April.

I'm road-tripped out. After the truck dropped oil pressure 350 miles into the 1300 mile trip home, and then driving out to Oregon with a trailer to haul it back through the wind in Wyoming, I don't think I can do it again anytime soon.

I need to devote my time to getting the /6 back on the road. The more I can do, the less I'll have to spend. The guy fixing it does 914's and streetrods. He does good work. Tig's everything (sheet metal that is). He owns an original /6 himself and has a huge stash (for Denver) of 914 parts behind the shop.

WHOAAA sucky. It sounds to me like the engine was going to let go when you test drove it. Like... maybe the PO new it was toast. Did you find any STP oil treatment in the pan ??

I don't think he knew. Cripes, the guy even went out and bought a floor jack for me for the trip home because he didn't think the truck had a jack. I didn't even tell him about it.

5 out of state cars in 3.5 years and one didn't make it. Not to bad really.
