Hi All, I am new to the world of car restoration and 914's. While cruising c's list I found a deal I couldn't refuse, and the rest is history. She runs, but she's rough. I trailered her home, drove her throught the neighborhood a few times then put her in the garage and have spent a few weekends chipping away at the cosmetic flaws. There's a lot of rust. But not in the places that I keep reading about (hell hole, floor pans, etc.) Currently, I'm torn. Do I put band-aids on the boo-boos and spend 7 months out of this year driving it like I stole it? Or start the grueling project of disassembly, rust repair and re-assembly? In the case of the latter, I won't get to enjoy her for a couple years... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Drive it like you stole it for awhile. Get to know the car well and deal with the mechanical issues as you go. There is a lot of freedom having a 'cosmetically challenged' 914.
Beware jackstands. They are insidious creatures that appear to hold the car up, but what they really do is hold you back...from driving, which is where the love blossoms. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) |
