My 1971 porsche 914-4 Options

[914nb]

Good afternoon all,

I quite recently bought my first 914 from Mark (mepstein) and shipped it over to the uk. Tomorrow I finally take delivery of the car after what feels like forever, problems with hauliers and the shipping company all employing g sub contractors meant everything was far more difficult than it should have been also costing me extra money covering the costs of their mistakes.

Yesterday I received this picture of the car taken straight after the container doors were opened.




Hopefully the car is as described and as mechanically sound as it was when parked- iv no doubt mark told me about all the issues he was aware off but we all know that cars have a habit of hiding surprises for us to uncover at some point.

My first concern is to get the car running so I can assess what I have before moving on to address the hell hole rust issues plus any other areas that come to light.

Any advice on getting the car started is most welcome.

Nathan.

Likewise, I brought one over last year, also supplied by a member on here.
In my case it was a faultless and easy experience and it landed in the UK about 8 weeks after the purchase, a year later it was MOTed and shortly afterwards it was registered and on the road.

Im in West Yorks, where are you?
I have a few parts left over as Dylan was very generous when he packed the car with parts.

I am waiting on a big shipment of items from 914rubber so may have other useful bits spare in due course
