After getting the car running I decided to sell . I was contacted by a shop in Las Vegas. We agreed on a price (what I had in it ). The shop has a client who is going to build the car up to a standard I could never reach. Its a guy who will likely put another 50k into it (ya) just because he can. I am moving up to Washington state, a wet state with a lot of ditches beside the roads. I just didn't like the idea of having to keep it indoors most of the time and not be able to enjoy it. I have a another build I'm working towards . Which I will be starting in a year or so. I need some time to take care of other things like sell / rent our house and move up to WA.

Sorry to hear you let your baby go. Just so you know, we don't stay indoors when it rains in WA. And, you'll never drive a better handling car in the rain than a 914 regardless of the number of cylinders.
