Me and the family drove down to Houston several weeks back for a weekend (NASA, Galveston, etc)... and while there I swung by a local's house to pick up a brand new type4 oil cooler, that he was practically giving away. I'm pretty sure that's the guy's house in your pics. He seemed busy at the time and handed me the cooler through that gate - so I saw no car. The place was nice (if that means anything), from the pics it seems a lot of time and money has been spent on the car - it's had plenty of attention, which is a good thing. The floors look to have Por15 coating - which points to someone having addressed rust issues already. And you're probably not going to find a better car in that price range so close to you. On the other hand - it's a dedicated race car (no headlights, etc) - so putting it on the street will take some doing.
BTW - I had a 914 that had a 4 point roll cage and it always looked like the top bars were too high when the roof was off. They were not though - it's just the they were built up into the targa top void snuggly. So, I bet the roof on this one fits just fine. Just bought our 16yo son his first car on Monday BTW.. an '06 325i - so I can well relate to all this. |
