Okay, I followed this site for some time already before buying my first 914.It took some patience and everyone I asked( that knows about cars ) said not to do it but I think I finally found a decent one (wich is not easy in Belgium since they are very rare here).
Just tell me what you think of it ( don't be polite) and okay, it's a '75 with the BUB's as you guys call it (allmost all the 914's here are reimported Americans)and also a BUS( big ugly spoiler) but it's a 2.0l ,until now I didn't find any rust(some superficial spots) and and it's been technically restored by a PO from California. Engine, clutch , brakes , muffler, etc. I'll give you a pic already, but tomorrow I'll have more pic's in detail and a lot of questions too. How do I post a pic anyway and how big can it be? |

Today , after 6 months of waiting, I finally got my license plates and insurance papers. So now I can make a real test drive! It will be for thursday since I haven't got the time now. But I mounted the center wheel caps from 914rubber and they fit perfectly although I think the wheels are not original ones. Thank you Mark!

Good luck with the test drive, how can you wait 4 more days? :-) Wheels look original Fuch to me? If you're not sure, take one off and see whats cast/written behind the spokes. Lug/Bolt cover caps are not original. |

Lug/Bolt cover caps are not original. I work from 8 AM till 8.30PM so there's not a lot of time left to drive. But I have 2 weeks holiday starting on thursday, So then I can drive every day. Can anyone tell me what is the best way to get the wheels clean? |
