Here's how it showed up the other day from Tony in Redondo Beach:

Today we begin with the ceremonial placing of the jackstands:

Next:

Do you think Luckie will mind entertaining on the back porch with the 914?

I can't start without Liz, so look for more pictures this evening. We're going to take it completely apart to prep for paint.

Hey Joe, what's the wheel for on the wall?

I believe they call that assuming the position.

Good luck with it.

Move the patio furniture and get the car out of the sun while you work on it. Oh by the way, what is that dead thing on your lawn.

wheel is crunched from impact, it looks like. And I don't think the SUV would clear the lower deck.

Red is original, but it's going to be a very deep blue/cobalt.

About the same color as Kelly's car from the WCC. Hey Kelly, how about a pic of your car so the people can see the color?

That's cool!

Here you go. Here's the front of Kelly's car:

Here's the back.
That's TurtleGirl (Liz) in white in the background.

The roller was the last car to be loaded on the 18 wheeler. There were 10 cars total when we loaded it on. A 911 with a wing, an old jag, a G35, a Celica, etc. Most of them were crunched in some way.

I think the 914 was loaded last because I get home from work kinda late and so the 914 got picked up last.

Jenny, I like your new avatar btw.

Here's one.

This one is from the last 4th July. The sign belongs to the sponsor of the queen candidate.

Is that Kyle in the passenger seat? I bet he liked the view above his left shoulder.


BTW Kelly, would you be willing to share the paint code for your car?

if he didn't look, he's got more will-power than me...

IIRC the color is lapis blue metallic, a boxster color (sorry, forgot what the code was)....
but i could be wrong anyway.

I have to admit....

that picture made me laugh out loud..

I'm not making fun of your son...
but since his whole face is not showing, how do we know that is not RS-Joe trying pretend he is a child while he rides along?

brant

C'mon Joe and Liz, where's the first update? I know it has only been a couple hours but Joe should have knocked out the house vacuuming a while ago.

The lawn itself is dead, but that would be one of our dogs sleeping.

Thanks for posting all of the pics of your car, Kelly!!!! I'm somewhat partial to the Malaga Red, but Nico likes blue... besides, I really do like that color...

I have a bunch of more pics on my camera, but I forgot to bring the cables over to Joe's house! I'll post them when I get home.

Joe gave me a bunch of homework... I have to source some parts, and also clean a bunch of suspension/head lamp/drive shaft parts...

...so... I'm looking for some stuff... Who's willing to trade 914 parts for gratuitous pictures of my boobs?

Anyhoo... here's the first list of obvious stuff that I need, some in the near future. Evil Bay/Pelican here I come!

Hmmm....I can't open the attachment....What format is it?

I have to admit I was hoping it was the aforementioned

You sure have been tearing it apart. I hope you maintain that enthusiasm with the reassembly. It seems to drag a bit as you take the time to do each thing right. But, it looks like you two won't be playing around with this project!

By the time I see it, the car will prolly be blasted.
You guys are rocking on that tub.

I think that Joe and I are talking about a two week trip next WCC...that gives us plenty of time to meet up with you and other SoCal folks for a few days before we all leave for Oregon. We will certainly arrive with a bottle of Casadores!

I have a nice tank if you can't find one closer. It's yours for the cost of shipping.

I could have sworn I had a set of fog grilles but I can't find them.

QUOTE (914RS @ May 12 2005, 07:16 PM)

I needs me sum parts!

I think I have:

Headlight switch
Flasher switch
Steering wheel and hub
Left interior door handle surround

I'll root around and see what else I have in my spare parts stash - yours for shipping.

Rick & Travis,

You guys rock!!! I appreciate all of the help I can get!

I'm going to catalog all of the stuff that we pulled from the car that we're not planning to use, if there's something obscure that someone is looking for.

Here's a nice pic from this afternoon:

Tony! Ya missing something? I found this under the left headlamp... Thought it mighta fallen out of your hair while you were filling the tank a few years ago...

Maybe the PO had an afro?

We'll need to steal you a booster seat from the local Dennys as well..

Yeah... I couldn't really see over the dash very well. I felt like a little ole gramma, sort of. I was too far away from the "steering wheel" and I wasn't driving 10 & 2, though!
