This is my new pride and joy. Well, it's not very new but I had to have it once I saw it. I first saw it on Craigs List down in Az. It was sold before I could even reach for the phone. I figured it was long gone. As luck would have it Budman decided to flip it and this baby now sits in my garage. It needs some serious love, but what 914 doesn't.

Haven't touched the fender. Just have time for late night parts searches. The wife has a long list of "honey do's." As soon as I get through a few of them I can work on the car. The fender is on the top of the list.
