If you are on here, you need to bring this by and let us help you make this the car it was meant to be. Kudos for actually having a running 914 but you really need to do something about it's appearance. We could make it much nicer in just a few weekends with a little help from other club members. Here is the 914 I just saw at Euclid and the 405 in Fountain Valley.

Not for the weak at heart.

Mine doesnt look very good right now either, but it doesnt look that bad. At least you can tell I am doing something with it. That car looks like it is untouched and unrestored. I think they are just going to drive it till it rusts away to nothing.

Hey Scott,

That doesn't look like a 914 you're taking the picture from... At least the guy's driving his POS...

(no insult intended...just harassing ya).

Posted by: Brando May 27 2005, 10:38 AM

finally a driving teener that looks worse than mine!!!

Posted by: Dr Evil May 27 2005, 10:43 AM

There is a black crappy one in my hood that I left a message on. It didnt even have door handles I offered to let the guy rummage through my parts stash as I felt sorry for him, but I never got a call.

Felling vindicated Brando

Posted by: scruz914 May 27 2005, 11:01 AM

That car is intentionally made to look like a POS so it isn't attractive to thieves. Probably a sleeper under the hood.

Posted by: Toast May 27 2005, 11:46 AM

Daaaammmmmm! And I thougt Brando's was an ugly one!

I agree with scruz914. Why fix it up? It will just get egged, keyed, broken into, and stolen.
Dont ask me how I know.

I know I should have patented and my theft-deterrent method.
