1970 914 with 3.2ss, Just received my new 914 Options

[mate914]

I just became the proud new owner of a 1970 914 that has been converted into a track car for the past 20 years. It has a tangerine racing roll cage. Boxster front brakes, alpha rear brakes without the emergency brake. It is a 3L case with 3.2 J&E pistons,EMS cylinders and PMO carbs. I think it has a S camshaft. It is a blast to drive.
The first few things I need to take care of are oil change, fuel lines and fluids. The next thing is installing engine sheet metal, cylinder head temp gauge and replacing parts as I find need replaced. I will drive and enjoy the car this summer, hope it to bring to East Coast ramble.
I know the car is a little rough so be gentle.
I am planning on installing a early 911 emergency brake system, if anybody has any parts I would appreciate it. Will put a part request in for sale section.

I used to spend a lot of time up at Eagles Mere - and my family has been summering there off and on for over 100 years. My recollection is that the Eagles Mere Association was... strict; and if they could block or bar someone from doing something they did. Have they given you grief over restoring cars? I've been close to buying property there twice now and decided against it over concerns with my hobbies.

Nope, in fact the town is very car friendly. Just be respectful to people walking down the middle of the road. There is a very fine car/motorcycle/old air planes museum + air port.
I am hoping to get a north east ramble up here in the mountains.. Where we can drive and not see a red light or highway all day.
Let me know if your making a trip up sometime.

I'd show for that. Its a beautiful area! Last time I was up was 2017. Its getting harder and harder to get the family reunions going. You pretty much need to make reservations at any of the cottages in December/January or earlier these days.
