I posted a few weeks back that I was going to be getting a 914 from my wifes aunt. Well I towed it to Pittsburgh from DC 2 sundays ago and I'm finially getting pictures up. I'll be keeping this up to date with pics of the progress on the car. I'll be open to any suggestions you have. Now on to the pics.


Is that a 914 under all that junk?

That is the only rust on the outside of the car.

Here is the only body damage.

Congrats! Which engine do you have in there? Is that a MN plate on the front and MD on the back? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/welcome.png) Enjoy. If you need help there is a lot of knowledge in this non-club.

Congrats. Looks like you have your work cut out for you. How much resto are you planning on doing, or is it just going to be loved as it is?

Good luck on your new car and welcome to the club. If you can't find 914 advice/help/parts/etc here, it most likely can't be found anywhere.

Whereabouts do you live in the 'burgh? I'm originally from the Sewickley area.

BTW, GO STEELERS! Finally one for the thumb!

It's to be restored, maybe not quite a concourse, but at least showable, drivable, and raceable.

It was bought at auction 9 years ago and transported to MD. Before that it was driven in MN. The MD plate was put on it by someone at my wife' aunt's house. Never been titled since it was bought at auction. I'll title it as soon as I'm sure it goes back together.

Spook - I'm from Cranberry origionally, and now me and the car (the wife too) live in New Ken. You still in Pittsburgh? I saw you just got a new green one.

I started to take her apart and thought I'd share what I found.
