Hello everyone!
Thanks to Clay and Betty for telling us about Joe. Seems Joe wished to sell his project car , a '74 2.0 Carb. Clay asked if we (Jean and Greg) would like to have a teener. Since my son Jason had just found his (74 2.0 IF) and he and I had just started work on it ...well hell yea we would love to check it out. Right price and a great guy to buy from... Joe even loaded our new baby in his new enclosed trailer and delivered it right to our driveway.

We are a little pressed to have it ready for the MUSR 7 event in Granbury, TX in September...we are going with or without it. We'll bring pix if not the cars.

We hope you all will come to : http://www.pca.org/914/MUSR7ad.html

We'd like to put faces with all your posting. We already feel like we know many of you and you have the same passion for these little cars as we do.

Any way watch for my posts as we start on our quest to make it to MUSR 7.





Back to the car we bought from Joe.
Seems Joe saved this car from death many years ago but never was able to rebuild it. (Time and $$$) The car is a survivor of the Mayfest Hail Storm, grapefruit size hail broke the windsheild and left the decks looking like the face of a sixteen years with acne. Well, Joe even supplied replacement decks and we feel this little white car will be back on the road and lookin' good again soon! Just need alot of TLC and lots of $$$.

First things first. Rebuild the brake system. It must stop before it can GOOOOOO! Safety first! It currently has a Pinto Carb...I think I go back to FI because gas it not getting cheaper.

We look forward to bouncing lots of questions off you seasoned teeners. We know that help is only a click away. This is the best board on the subject.

Jean, my better half, and I hope to meet many of you soon as we will be attending as many of the club functions as we are able.

Anyone know a good powder coater in Dallas or Fort Worth Area? I going to "Bead Blast" a set of Porsche star rims and get them powdered.

Welcome Greg!

Greg... Jean... welcome to the 914 experience!





There is something for everyone.

Greg and Jean, let me know if you need help - of course you've got one of the best pointing you in the right direction - (Clay)


Welcome-

Thom

Congrats on the new project!

Great deal on the new to you project. For a powder coater I recomend Quality powder coaters at 1838 Forms Dr. In Carrolton. They did my cam towers in wrinkle red. You can see a picture of one of them in the German8tor is on the block thread in the for sale section.

Hey thanks on the "Powder Coater" I'll call in able a week after I blast the wheels. i checked out the "German 8 tor...WOW! Great Car and specs. How many hour have you put into her? Where have you raced her? and why haven't you been out selling houses with the wife so you can keep her?

Just kidding! My other half is holding my efforts back until we have a few of the projects completed around the house. Like retiling 800 sq ft. of floor in the LR, DR, Kitchen...nearly done with the prep work.

Anyway, thanks again for the info...I'll send Pix when completed.

I have put a ton of hours into it. It keeps me out of the kids hair They do come out and help when they want something.
As for racing it so far it has never seen a track and counting the POs' its been an ongoing project since 72
I try to help Barb sell stuff by staying home and watching the kids. I couldnt put up with some of the folks she has shown homes to. This last guy from Houston I would have kicked out of the car in downtown Dallas

If he was that bad you should have driven him down to South Oak Cliff and kicked him out!!!

Larry, can you send me a mapquest link to the powdercoater? I am looking for a new one. The one I was using got bought out, and their prices went up and the quality went down.
