I posted a couple of pictures this morning, they were too large, so this is a test to see if I reduced a picture right.

Yes it's mine. It's a 1970 914-6 that I bought from my step-dad. He owned it for 30+ years. He said I sold it to you, because I knew you would restore her, so I did, took 2+ years, might have been shorter, but I was racing her during the restoration. Most of the car has been in the diningroom or kitchen at one time or another. That's right, I'm single. I did the body work and painted her in my driveway using PPG Delstar paint, no clear coat needed, color sanded and buffed. Dropped engine, upgraded cylinders and heads set up for unleaded. Designed and manufactured engine fittings to run Digital Oil Temp, Oil Pressure, and Voltage meters and still have stock instruments work, upgraded ignition to Bosch. Friend taught me upholstery, so I put a full leather interior in. Reworked electrics, ran a 10 gage wire to front trunk and installed fuse block & relays, now the voltage drop at headlights is .2vdc, instead of 2.4vdc. Converted to side shifter, regeared to taller 5 gear for freeway driving. Rebuilt suspension, stonger torsion bars, springs, bushings. Did a lot more, long list, but everything works. She's a kick on the track or in the mountains. I've had people say, She's too pretty to be on the track, my answer, I didn't buy her to be a garage queen, she was built to drive. Anyway, thanks for the compliments, I always like them, hope to run into some of you guys sometime.
