 Our little blue car hit the road for the first time in over 19 years. My dad bought this 1970 914-6 as a roller in 2007. It sat untouched until I started working on it in 2022. I would fly half-way across the country to visit him and chip away at it in 1 week bursts. Thank you so much to everyone that humored my questions and provided valuable insight to help further our project. I could not have done it without the knowledgable and generous community at 914World. It now has:
It is still a rough little car aesthetically, but finally roadworthy. I will have the car trailered to NorCal soon. I look forward to seeing you on the road! |

Well that is great news and a Huge milestone on the course of an extraordinary effort.
Your dad had a good eye when he got this car and that is a worthy outcome. Having a mechanically sound car with some aesthetic issues is not a bad place to be at all. It is just part of the car’s story and more importantly the owner’s stories, and your’s is a great one!! Thanks for sharing and enjoy the drive! |

@DennisV - Awesome! It's hard enough to get stuff done when the car is "right there". I can't imagine the fortitude it took to stick with getting this done. Impressive. Let me know when the car is back to your place in CA. We'll schedule a "Welcome to Sonoma County!" lunch At The Red Barn and get all the local 914 folk together to pat you on the back personally! Way to go! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)
