New owner Options

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 madness of the 914 lovers. Take lots of pictures all along the way and keep a folder for the receipts. At some point you may (or not) want to know how much you have actually spent on your toy. Or God forbid the car get wrecked and you need to show value based upon the work you have done and parts you have bought. Best to document from day one. Congratulations.
