Now to some of you this is no big deal. But I can't believe it! Turns out the owner lives about a mile from me! He's had the car for many years! Sorry, no pics this time. But we did exchange phone numbers and I invited him over to see the Alien. Also told him about the club site. Cool! I may have someone to cruise with locally!

Rick,

That's AWESOME!

Be sure to tell him to visit us here and share his story.

I can't wait until I run into another 914 on the road. I keep looking.....

Duluth, the 914 capital of eastern Minn.!

It's always great to run into another teener & owner where you don't expect it.

So how is The Alien doing these days? I've lost track of what all you had to do after making it back from WCC.

It's pretty much dead (time for an engine rebuild and HB gear install) and with my work schedule lately......

what happened to the alien???


I thought your carb linkage was shot...but you fixed it at the guys house?

Sounds like you could use some of this.....

I hate ramps What engine do you have? I forgot. I have some core 1.7 heads if you need one. Cost of shipping.

I'm not the type IV expert but I don't think 1.7 heads will work on a 2.0. Better check with some of the collective before I ship anything.

they wont....

i am going to try to build another 1.7

havin a hard time finding P&Cs tho...
