Lance's 914 Options

[NotLance]

Hello and Happy New Year's Eve! My name is Lance, and earlier this year, I bought my first car, I bought a 914!.

My dad has had his 911 since his college days, and when it came time for me to purchase a car, he encouraged me to follow a similar path. 911 Prices are too high for a high school senior, so I began to learn more about the Porsche brand. That is when I discovered the 914 and fell in love immediately. A few months pass, and eventually, I went to look at, and then subsequently buy, a project 914.

Since then I have been lurking on this forum researching and learning. My car has finally reached a point where it is mechanically solid, a little less than a year later.

It is 1970 914/4 with a (not original to the car) carbureted 2.0L engine and a side shift transmission. Both the engine and transmission have been rebuilt, and the most recent project has been swapping the wheels from four to five lug because it is so far from stock anyways. It has been through a few repaints but has retained its original color, L60E Irish Green. While both the hell hole and longs were solid, the trunk has a patch of rust that still needs repair.

It got back on the road in August, and since then I have been driving it almost daily.



Unloading the car with the help of my Dad and Grandfather.



A recent photo that shows the current state of the car, running and driving in my school's parking lot.

More photos will follow, whenever I can sort through all of them.
