Hi everybody!
Not only is this my first post, but the 914 is also my first car. I'm 14 and I recently purchased my '75 1.8 in December after saving up since I was 10. It was well worth the mowing lawns, pet sitting, and birdhouse building. So far I've been working on it with my dad and we've: -replaced motor mounts -replaced transmission mounts -replaced pushrod tubes and gaskets -replaced tie-rods -replaced steering rack and torn boot -valve adjustment, tune up -replaced steeleys with Fuchs -sourced emblems and other cosmetic work Still things to be done but really excited to be part of the great teener community!

My seats are plaid but I don't think they're original. I'm searching for decent seats because I think my mom can do the fabric upholstery. I'm looking for the ski blue but might do houndstooth. |
