Thanks for the input. I have more photos if you click on my website link but maybe I should really start a new link with the photos and history I detailed later in the posting right up front.

I just had a fellow perform a PPI inspection on the car to help sell it as well. Can send it to anyone interested.

Thank you for your thoughts. I’m not really good at this type of stuff. Lol

Russ,

I inspected the 914, drove it a few miles and took a few photos.

Overall it looks and runs well and is a lot of fun to drive.

I could not get photos in the "Hell Hole" with the ECU in the way but was able to use a mirror and flashlight to view it. It looks original and generally solid. Just a little surface rust and I think one small area at the top corner that may have been perforated. About 1/4" x 1.5". Much better than most 914's. Didn't see any other rust or structural issues on the car.

The inspection report is the last photo DSCN1708.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Best Regards

Hi to the Forum.
I am the one who bought the car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif)
I have been screening this Forum for more than 2 years, nearly daily, trying to find a suitable 914 to export to Norway.
It has been many nice cars available, but the distance, limited budget and difficulties has made it hard to make the right decision in time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
Anyway, I just had to do something and I contacted Russ regarding his car.
It has been a pleasure to deal with him and he has been very helpful in any aspect.
As some of the members comments was, I decided to do some little modifications before shipment.
I just want to say thanks to all PM`s that have been sent and answered from you and I will probably start following the Garage and Parts Forum from now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)
Here is some photos to show some modifications as back dated aft bumper and replaced steering wheel and it will hopefully be in Norway in 3-4 weeks’ time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) I think you did really well. Sometimes you get a much better deal when the car is a little off (bumpers don’t match, blacked out wheels) but can be easily fixed. No 914 is perfect but this one looks great. Enjoy!

Looks great! Congrats, it was a wonderful value...

I love my Datsun, but this and another 914 have really messed with my head and have been advertising it for sale. With this one gone, theres only one other current 914 thats for sale that would make me really consider selling it.

I look forward to seeing pics of it in YOUR garage! Time to start collecting more parts, though I dont think the car needs much at all from here
