Hi guys,
No longer a poser; just put a deposit on a 75 1.8 w/ stock FI. I have to work on insurance and registration so I can drive it home. No flex and seems pretty solid; we'll see where the rust is hiding. Thanks for the advice and help over the last few months with my search. I'll post some pics later.

Peace,
Chuck

Hey Joe,
I'm actually in Astoria Queens. But once I pick-up the car I'll drive it to PA and park it next to my dad's 911. Then slowly start the work. With the moneey I've saved I want to add some stiffening, cage, flares, 911 suspension and 5 lugs, Mike's headlight and way later see if I can't do a suby conversion. But I'm so clueless right now that I can't see all of this happening within the next 5 yrs.

I want to learn how to weld so I can save $$ where I can. Shoestring budget right now.

peace.

I think you should DRIVE it and enjoy it before parking it for mods. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
