hey guys... I may have found a 914 locally that I am interested in

see link

http://www.914club.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=248640


I am looking for a good starting point to make a nice track day car (thunderhill / Infineon / Lagun Seca) for about 15-20 track days per year. I do not race, but it will be almost a dedicated track car, but registered for street for occasional canyon runs or backroad drives and tuning.

I wanted something with strong, solid later model engine, hopefully some brake upgrades, steel flares. I don't want to be rebuliding engins...

i wanted something with no rust.

I just wante something that can be driven NOW, and then gradually improved and enhanced and personalized. I don't want t ground up project, I don't have that kind of patience or skill I LIKE DRIVING WAY MORE than I liek WORKING on cars.

where I need your help:
1) OPINIONS on this car
2) WHAT QUESTIONS DO I NEED TO BE ASKING OF TEH SELLER
3) WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR
4) ANYBODY IN NORCAL WHO KNOWS A LOT MORE THAN ME INTERESTED IN GOING WITH ME TO LOOK AT THE CAR AND GIVING MY OPINION

any other advise

HELP!

I've seen Elliot's car in person several times, it's a hell of a good car. You get $150,000.00 sports car performance for 20 grand. You couldn't even buy the parts to build that car for 20k. I know, I was assembling parts to build a similar car, same engine, same body.
That's one of Roger Sheridan's bodies, see more pics at www.ultimate914.com
That's the "narrow" body. It is undoubtedly the highest quality fiberglass available.
I just can't say enough about that yellow car except maybe it's a little too fast. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
