Looking good. Glad to have you on board. Boy have you started on a journey. If you think that was a heck of a drive to get the 914 for the previous owner .......

this car should be a cake walk compared to the fiat i have now.
thanks again for all the warm welcomes!

Well, it should run stronger, not break down as often, & you don't have to have a mechanic named Tony.

Yes, I remember getting my first 914. After a year and a half of work I was able to drive it for the first time.
