You made his day and all of ours too. That is so cool.

That video is priceless. Cherish the time. Thank you for sharing that moment.

That's what it's all about right there my friend. Way to go building it & getting him out for a ride. Seriously great story to share. Thanks for letting us all come along for the ride as well. Absolutely awesome

Very cool story...thanks for sharing it.

Awesome, superb, and touching. I am not sure there are enough adjectives to even describe your feelings.

Amazing. Thanks for takinig us along on this special journey....

The only thing more beautiful than your restoration is the story.

By the way, what exhaust are you running? It sounds terrific.

Thanks everyone for the kind words! It was a great day. He's never ridden in a Porsche and was very impressed.
It was a very special day for me (and him) indeed.

It's a Triad and yep... I love the sound!!!

I may have mistyped. It's actually from a 2006 GT4. The code is N4 but MX5 is very close.

Life is good

Great job. time.

A few small details to sort out, yep steering wheel is crooked, but I'm going to call her done and just drive her for now. I'll pull the original interior and redo it next year sometime.
I am amazed I got this far and would like to express my thanks to everyone on this board for the historical posts and replies to some of my stupid ass questions. You all helped me so much along the way I can't even begin to tell you how much I have learned from you.

Thanks everyone and I'm sure I'll have some more questions but I'll attempt to not add another project to her and just

Did a little photo shoot this afternoon.

BEAUTIFUL!

Looks awesome.

Great and inspirational story-congrats to your Father and his “successful Porsche-driving son” !

The story alone was worth it. The 914 is a bonus. Good for you. And your dad. That's awesome! My father in law (wife's father) had dimensia. It sucks.

The car looks fantastic! Love that color.
