Hello all. I've been lurking here for some time and would like to introduce myself. Don't quite know the protocol - should I have put "Breaker 1 9" or something in the title? I'm working on a 1970 914.

You're showing your age (& mine) with the CB comment. 
This is a standard request for pics.

... Bugsy Tom!
I guess its finally thawed out in the far northern reaches! 
PS - since your 914's VIN is 471... - it's a 1971 model year, despite a build date 11/70. Love to see pix, Good Buddy!
BTW - I did have a CB in my 914 back in the day, but used one of those under dash black box adapters to allow me to use the radio antenna & not screw up the bodywork with another "big stick" CB antenna. In `88 the CB was moved to our Westy & is in it still!

Thanks for the warm welcome all. I too was into CB radio long ago - had one in my '68 bug as a kid. My 914 is indeed a '71. I knew that, can't explain why I typed 70 - the 0 and 1 are pretty far apart on the keyboard so I can't claim a typo. I'll get pics up. Just love this car - it's just such a blast to drive. 3rd gear above about 3500 rpm and everything is happy. I've got Jake working on a 2270 for me

Here's the only pic I could find that was worth posting. The bmw is in the way, but it shares the garage w/ the 914 so what the heck.

Looks like a nice car, and I love the bike too!

Well, the car is very stock. The engine will not be, but it still has the tail shift trans, Pedrinis, etc. I'll bring it to a World shindig some day... The bike is cool - very "agricultural" if you know what I mean. Just like the teener. It's the mojo in these machines we all love so much.

Yes - I devote an unhealthy amount of attention and thought to this car (except I don't intend on changing that)

You will love that 2270 once you get it installed
