I have to say, if you have a chance to visit Bill and see his collection, you won't be disappointed. His cars look just as good up close as they do in the pictures. Oh, and Bill is a pretty swell guy too
- I enjoyed meeting him last month and hope to again sometime in the not too distant future.
George...you get that 1.8L torn apart?
I'll have a couple new 914 additions next time you are in the area. I might even be moved to some new "digs" with a BIG garage to house them!
Hey Bill,
I've got it down to the longblock and like the redneck I am, it's sitting in my driveway since I've got nowhere else to really put it for the moment. It's a backup for our Chumpcar endeavors. I'm going to go through it and replace all seals along with the transmission. If I can figure out a way to make a simple test stand, I'll throw a pair of carbs on it and start it up eventually. Did you know those carbs that came with it were actually Weber 44s? That's a lot of carb for a rebuilt 1.8, but maybe the PO didn't know any better.
Very cool to see you've got more toys on the way. Are you moving to a new house? I like that one!
The black car on Ebay is beautiful by the way. I wish I was at a point in life where I could bid on it. Oh well, one day
Hope it goes to a good home!
