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!

Thanks for all the feedback everyone!
Here's a pic of the car:



Milo, great looking car (I wish my first car looked that good!). Is that blue sky in Seattle? I thought that wasn't possible??

Haha. Don't worry, the day after this it started raining so everything's back to normal.
I'll keep posting on all the work I do. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif)
