The car ran great on the ride home and I really appreciate the help!

Thanks,
Joe

rofl mike...

i spent the last hour on ebay and dismantlers looking for a 3l CIS motor...... you suck. look what you have done thanks again for rocking on my trans, and for letting me get hooked on your ride....

ill keep ya posted on el mirage racing and the duckie

A HUGE THANK YOU to Joe for putting out alot for this bbq
Waide sure got a nice car
Twistit1 and Brando worked on cars all day and night mostly on Beanie's car solving issues
They sent him on home running better than when in came
Had a blast meeting people and seening alot of beautiful cars

I think the best quote of the evening was bennie saying "hey, it's different with throttle control!"

I had a great time. Thank you Joe Sharp for putting on the best get togethers. And all the other guys, you know who you are, who keep my enthusiasm with this group high and alive.

The most fun I have is working other peoples' cars rather than my own. Keep bringin' `em, we'll keep fixin' `em.

now its my turn to sort out the day... NOT GONNA BE EASY,

k, came up on 3 strong cylinders doing 50-55 uphill.. didnt think more about it, its been like that since i got it.. Met some very nice people (new friends) and then I was waiting for one of those tasty burgers.. -HEY, arent you the swede running on three cylinders? (clayton, dont know your name here..) yepp, thats me, he gets his toolbox and say, dont just stand there, lets fix it!

getting help from so many (strangers) in one day is overwhelming, everyone who knew something pitched in, got iit running on 4 after a while, new plugs and some handy crafts on my hoses... GREAT! it ran awesome (although when aaron gave me a ride in mike's car.. WOW!!!!!!) then we started to get into some issues, ran on 4, ran on 3, ran on 2.. not at good sign.. well it ended up running on 3 1/2 which is great.. then my throttle cable or something broke.. (a bushing you said?) then it was time for me to do my first time ever work on my car.. may sound strange owning a 914, but i never tried really. I got so much help with both my car and do some work on my own today!
Thanks to all the guys and gals that were there. had a great time...

sorry joe for taking up your driveway and leaving marks oh, sorry for those parts i "stole" they were handed to me i swear hahaha,

sorry for the long post, just had an amazing day with some pretty knowledgeble guys!!

thanks
Cris ( I know clayton, i have red hair, im swedish its ok!)


almost forgot, I made it home, driving 75+mph in those mean uphills.. it all went good, and my headlights only went out 5 times,, which is not bad..

So glad you made it home and your car is running much better.
It was so good to meet you
Craig

wow! can anyone post more pics/details of this car?


any info on those headlights?

Jeroen, talked to the owner a bit. Whether you like the styling or not, this is one super car. Example.. After raising the belt line in the back, he thought stock door looked funny, so he sectioned it and added about 2" at the rear so it 'met' the rear fender better. Also note modified windshield rake. Did all the work himself!!

Fit and finish at least equal to a new Porsche.

More wow.

I bought a bunch of V-8 parts from Doug (owner of that car)

He's very detailed and did a great job. I'm thinking of taking my V-8 car to his painter. They did all the final body work and it is fantastic.

Those headlights are custom made. It's a cool ride. Good job Doug!!
