Found this on craigslist. Looks pretty solid. First 914 and I'm not sure what I'm gonna do with it yet. Almost bought Scott Mann's orange peel a couple of years ago. Thinking I might do an 8 or a subie 6.

If you can, I suggest driving it for a while with the stock motor. Far too many people buy the car and yank the drivetrain out first thing; they never get to drive it. Even the ones who finish the swap never get to enjoy the car the way it was originally designed, as a low-powered momentum-preserving grin machine.

Try it, you may like it...
