I bought a 914-6 in Germany recently - and this week it was time to bring it to his new home => my garage (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
My dad was so kind to come with me, we took my daily driver for the 1st direction and drove back home with both cars. This meant to stand up at 2:45am and drive 4hrs in one direction. In Germany we had to organize a set of special short-time license plates, so in the photos the car still has a German license plate. This will be changed within the next couple of days, when the six get street legal in Austria.

Here's a shot in Germany, where we picked up the six. It's my dad (white hair) talking to Mr. Knüpfing, who did some work on the engine, tranny and breaks.

The car was a sleeper. It was stored away for 15 years and therefore it had some tech issues. The engine got new main bearings, tensioneers and completely resealed. The tranny got resealed. All 4 break disks are brand new, as well as the master break cylinder and the break lines. The calipers are completely rebuilt - they're better than new.
Of course, the car still needs a lot of TLC, but it's a high grade original car with phantastic substance.

Here're some shots from my 1st run through the mountains in my area:

Exquisite car Wolfgang...Isn't there something else that is special about this car?

Best wishes to you in finding a job...I hope it won't take too long. Do you receive any government income during unemployment?
