This thread is going to document my restoration of my '76 which I picked up about a year ago. This vehicle lived its life in southern California and was in relatively good shape compared to a lot of 914's I have seen for sale. The restoration I am doing is not going to be a full 100% nut and bolt concurs rest, but one to bring the car back so I can enjoy it as a driver. I originally started the work back in September, don't know why I didn't start documenting then, I have learned so much from others who have posted their work on here, so all I can hope is that I return the favor to someone else. The first series of post and photos will be to get everyone caught up to where I am now...below is my wife posing with the new member of the family!

Wait a minute. Your going to Italy for four years w/o the teener??? You must plan on buying a Porsche once there, huh? Some very fine roads for the drivers there.

Wait a minute. Your going to Italy for four years w/o the teener??? You must plan on buying a Porsche once there, huh? Some very fine roads for the drivers there. I really don't want to leave it. I am researching the SOFA agreement for US GI's over there, because there is a provision stating we can only have 3 vehicles...but I don't know if that is the whole time we are there or only 3 at one time. The military is shipping my Explorer which is the wifey's ride and then I am going to bring my M3 as my DD. Once I get there I and get settled, I'd like to send for the 914 and bring her there as well...but I would also like to pick a Euro 911 or something of that sorts since I am out there. I have to figure out how to work that in. I agree, I can't imagine nothing better but driving my 914 through the roads of the Italian coutryside! |
