Hi everyone, just bought this 1970 914 and waiting for it to arrive. Needs some work, always wanted one of these; couldn't pass it up. I also have a '77 slantnose 911. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
I'm sure I'll have a lot of questions, like where to pick up a correct rear valance? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.imgur.com-22247-1529767135.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.imgur.com-22247-1529767136.2.jpg) |

The 1977 is your donor car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) Best of luck with the purchase, can't wait to see pictures. |

haha thanks. Yes a 3.0 has occurred to me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
This has a single Weber (I've heard that is far from optimal) Obviously will need a rear valance. And so much more. |

Thanks for the warm welcome.
@914r75 thanks, it's white I'm pretty sure. The car will be with me in the next two weeks. It's coming from Florida to SoCal. @MikeD I'll PM you. My first car was a '62 Ghia -- love VW's, though I don't own one now. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) Always nice to welcome a new member. Nice car too. Once you get it in your garage do a thorough front to rear, top to bottom inspection. Safety items first then make it a reliable driver. Cosmetics after that. I would recommend tackling one issue at a time so you don't get overwhelmed. Once they go on jack-stands, they tend to get comfortable. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Welcome and good luck with your 914.
You purchased a white 914 in Florida and shipped it to California. I purchase a white one in California and shipped it to Florida (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) . I agree with Cairo94507. Make it safe. Make it reliable. Make it pretty. Enjoy it in good health. Bill. |
