This friday i will be buying my first 914, it has flares and a 916 front end on it. I can't wait to get it, however the guy is giving me a ton a parts with the car. Do you guys think i should sell the parts and put the money towards the porsche or just keep the parts? The guy parted out a 75 914 and that is where all the parts are coming from. The car is complete from what it looks like from the pictures he sent me so i don't think i will need the parts.
Here are some pictures of the car i am buying http://s268.photobucket.com/albums/jj2/ahe...t=IMGP02991.jpg http://s268.photobucket.com/albums/jj2/ahe...t=IMGP03001.jpg http://s268.photobucket.com/albums/jj2/ahe...t=IMGP03011.jpg http://s268.photobucket.com/albums/jj2/ahe...t=IMGP03021.jpg Here is a list of what he is giving me A set of doors with glass and panels from a 75 Four stock fenders Two extra Targa Tops A side shifter trans with starter, linkage, and all mounts Engine Lid Rear Deck Lid Two sets of rims Both Headlight assemblies Most of the interior swtiches and console with gauges from a 75 |

I really like the looks of your car. It looks like they did a good job on the 916 front end. You might decide whether or not you want to hang on to the center console. It's nice to have the extra gauges. It may be sitting high in the front because of the wide rims & adapters. I'd get those off ASAP, before you do any hard cornering.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) the front is waaaay too high, or the rear waaaay too low, depending on how you look at it ... nice score otherwise!
