That's right! My 1973 Porsche 914 has changed hands. It's sold.....gone, and I couldn't be happier. I had discovered that it needed new floor pans about a year ago and after digging more into it I decided it was too much. I put it on eBay and craigslist and after a faff it sold finally. I now have some money to put on finishing my Celica and my garage is free to park my Subaru. Life feels pretty decent right about now. Anyway whats up with you guys and cars?

Not smart with cars, but PCs are similar!

Nice. I expect to see pics when you're done. I still can't drive and unfortunately, my bother (per the suggestion of my mom's nosey sister) sold my dad's truck which was supposed to be mine, so I'm pretty bummed out about that. The person who bought it knows all about the truck, so it's in as good of hands as it was when my dad was still around, but I'm just immensely disappointed in myself and the fact that I won't be able to honor his memory.

Edited by dr obvious2535: 12/9/2017 10:40:14 PMYou don't even feel a pang of remorse for selling your car? I probably wouldn't, but I don't like the look of that car. (Or most old Porsches for that matter.) And since you've been gone, I should probably warn you: If you see anything from the user Nixeris, immediately close that thread. And whatever you do, [b][i]DO NOT[/i][/b] reply to him if you value your brain cells.

Edited by OldboyVicious: 12/7/2017 7:28:45 AMI'm currently rebuilding the front suspension on my 66tbird, full rebuild, upper and lower, bushings, control arms, everything. Had to stop by Larry's Tbird to get an upper right, due to the old bushing being so bad that the threads had worn real bad. Got some of the parts back today that needed an expert press guy to push them in together, should be done by tomorrow afternoon. Had a step back when the previously repaired speedometer started having issues again, and I just got a compmete power window switch housing so I can do the wiring right. A year ago I'd completely removed all the interior, put in leather upholstery over the metal parts and it looked amazing until summer hit. The upholstery glue melted, some pieces expanded in the heat of summer and shrunk again come winter, causing edges to peel and curl. Gonna have to pull all of that out and re-do it, this time using sturdier clips and rivets. After that, I'm replacing the entire fuel system from tank, sending unit, pump, hoses, all the way to the carberator which I'll buy on Vegas because California laws suck ass. Once that's all dialed in, the MSD engine makeover happens, cooling system gets re-vamped, then I'll replace and reseal all the glass before turning to the body and paint. Little things after that, HID headlights, getting LED lighting all around, getting the turn signal to blink sequentially, etc. Making mock ups in Photoshop of a couple color schemes I'm toying with, or just keeping her all black. After she is done, it's time to start my crown Vic project. TL;DR - I'm jealous you got to sell yours lol.

I've recently traded in my 2015 V6 Dodge Challenger for a 2017 Mustang GT with a black accent package. Wheels and emblems are all blacked out. Have to take it back to the dealer to get the windows tinted for free. Can't wait to start working on it and turn it into a beast. I know, I know, a lot of people hate mustangs, but it's been a car I have wanted since I was a kid and has some personal meaning behind why I bought the car.

Name change?

I got a 2017 camaro ss a couple moths ago.

Heroin addiction huh? Understandable

I was wondering what happened to you. I'm glad you chose to unload it. From what all you've described about it before, all I could imagine was a very deep money pit. I still don't have anything to play with yet, and the Focus is just my DD. But my son got a 2001 Focus, and it's been his project car that I help on when needed. It's fun just to do small things on it.

My Scion tC needs the usual maintenance and some side panel buffing; thanks, stranger who hit my car in the night not once but twice. 'ppreciate it. Other than some new oil, she runs like a dream.

My Altima shot an engine rod right under 200,000 miles. Good thing I’ve kept my truck that I’ve had since high school so I’m driving my F150 right now. Forgot how much I loved driving it so I’m just going to stick with it for a while.. or until it craps out.

Hey man glad to see you're still around. OT: I own a 2014 Camaro that I just got on Sunday. It was preowned.
