Thought I'd better check back in.
A few years back I'd been toying with getting myself a 914 to use in sprints in Scotland. Then in 2006 I ended up moving with work to Perth in Western Australia. Move on to May this year I picked up a yellow 1970 914 from over in Brisbane and had it shipped to me in Perth, and the garage ornament (as the kids call it) has sat there ever since. Work seems to have gotten in the way but I'm now ready to start properly on my project! I took a bit of a gamble and bought the car unseen (work commitments kept getting in the way so I agreed a price and bit the bullet!) The car is now out of registration and my first task is making it legal again so I can tinker and have some fun driving it at the same time. I have a lot of plans for this and if half them come to fruition it should turn out a tidy little car. Its very solid with a bit of worn stock type 4, engine running carbs. (I'll get some pics over the weekend) Well that's the story up to date. I'm looking forward to hanging out here a bit more frequently and more so to getting the 'teener' up and going! |

Welcome to the World!
As a word of caution. Where I live, it's best not to " tinker and have some fun driving it at the same time." It's bad enough dealing with all those folks driving while talking on their cell phones, never mind the tinkerers ................ The Cap'n |
