After 2 and a half years of reading this board, i have finally decided to pony up some cash for my comatose 914 friend. for the past two years it has sat in my mechanics dirt field lot pathetically kept company by a 1982 928, which has been sitting there for the past 10 years, some skeletal remains of another 914 , and enviously next to my mechanic's trailer coverd 914/6 . So today, i gave him half the deposit required to finish the rebuild. I was really EXCITED until.......................
I saw another club member had his very clean, and pampered 914 INSIDE the garage waiting for his transplant of a VERY nice 3.2 liter engine . i thought for a second, "i want one of those." then reality set in and I had to go back to being happy about my simple upgrade to euro spec mahle pistons. BUT i should get it back in time for my Birthday at the end of the month, and that will be my best birthday present this decade. yeah!
and maybe it will be WCC or bust!
