Oh and while you're in there.....

Soon it will look like this;

Just don't save the Receipts.

Looks like you need one of Mom's service covers to protect you paint.

Sorry shamless plug for Mom

But I thought you could demand more when you sell it if you have all the receipts. Mine came with a book.

Oh, you can demand...... hi Leo...we miss you.

I disagree.

Although they might not be fun to look at, they will come in handy if you need them for your insurance company.

Don't take it any further then the exhaust!!! Spring is coming, and I need someone to show me around, and you won't be of any use to me with that thing torn down..

Assume the position. If you put the top on it makes a great shelf for tools.

"First the 914 owner postures arround the 914 with jack and stands in hand."

"The 914, recognizing it is about to be engauged in vehicular coitus then presents with the aid of the owners tools."

"Finally, with the 914 at full presentation, teh 914 submits to the 914 owner."

"Vehicular coitus may take a very long time. It is undetermined how long it may take as many couples have yet to finish. There are even tails of coitus lasting during relocations to different states."



present and submit because it is what we do

Just to be clear, that means you now have two 914's that are undrivable. You just became a member of a whole different club.... congratulations.

(and jacking the car up and starting it with a screw driver does not constitute drivable, nice try though)

Yea, and the new 914 was on jackstands for the PPI!

making it a true 914.
now i really feel like i am part of the non-club.
not only do i have one 914 on jackstands, I HAVE 2

now all i need to do is dismantle both them, so neither one of them run, and work on a 2 year conversion plan (which will magically become 4-6 years).

Or like Ron's decade+ 6 conversion.

QUOTE (Toast @ Mar 27 2006, 11:03 PM)

or gint's

you see, i have it figured out. Once anyone starts to take a running 914 apart, they quickly figure out that it is easier to just buy another one instead putting the previously running one back together. then they take that one apart, and buy another, and the cycle continues.......... it's freakin' addictive

So the moral of the story is...

If you have to take it apart...put it back together as quickly as you can.

Sitting in the garage in one piece is better than it sitting in the garge in pieces.

It is the "ultimate hot start fix" and it doesn't have to be on jackstands
