Larry (Spare Time Toys) just picked up his new donor car, the 928 for his Project 9. It was tough getting it loaded but with a little ingenuity, it’s loaded, tied down and on its way to Texas. Here are a few pictures in case none of you know who he is.

More to come

lkh;k

He brought his mom and dad with him to keep him company.

Last one of Larry securing the back to keep water out of the broken rear window on the trip home.

woohoo....bring it home Larry!

He needs a 2-3 inch drop hitch for the draw tight.

Why did you load it backwards ??


B

nice seeing him when he dropped by at the autocross... gave him a ride in my teener...

The reason it was loaded backward is that is the way it was in the long narrow drive, No way to turn it around and he said he wanted to roll it straight into his garage face first anyway so it was perfect. The trailer sat high on his hitch anyway. The car is more or less balanced on the trailer.

I gotcha.

I'm always amazed at the people who load 914's on trailers backwards ??? The cars are damn near 50-50 stock.. they SIT on the trailer 50-50 depending on how high the trailer tongue is...LOL I place the jacking point directly in the center of my tandem axle trailers... the jacking point is the balance point.


B

Mine is no longer the jack point for center however it is really close. For some reason, the front is now heavier and doesnt come up like it did before when I jack it up. You would think with the V8 in the back that it would. Any theory on that??

Hard to say. I would have to put it on some scales and figure out where the weight moved too.

We just got home at 4:30 Dallas time. We went 2957 miles from Fri at 5:30 AM to Sun:30 PM Met a bunch of great guys had a good time with Mom and Dad. What more could you ask for Oh yea Scott found some more "Good Stuff" in the back seats Ill post my trip photos later tonight when I get a chance to down load them. Now I am going to sleep

Well, did I mention it was not my car?? When I found that stuff in the glove box I figured that was all there was. The guy is in Jail now. Who knows what else you will find in there. I am off to work again. Been working all day today to free up some weekday time to work on my car. So I am pushing the limits today. Hopefully I will get home before 9 tonight. I still need to put up the Christmas lights.

Are you going to be selling parts from the 928? I'm looking for a interior and a few other things.

Bob

glad ta hear he made it back

You should see the kids going through the stuff in there One of the B/W spiders that made the trip was pissed about being in texas and bit me in the back. that put an end to the scavenger hunt for the day.

You might want to set one of those bug bombs in your garage tonight, there's probably more than one of those Black Widows, watch out for those Brown Recluses, they're real bad.

I've seen what those bad boys can do. It ain't pretty.

Glad your trip was good and sorry i missed you.

I was busy taking my 71 apart again. I figure since i'm getting good at disassembly i've got to improve on the assembly side.

I think I remember reading somewhere that the 928 was actually more aerodynamic going backward than it was going forward....

A 928 was my very first matchbox car. Always loved that car....

Yea, just like a Pinto

Scott, Nice assist on the 928. How's your car coming?
