My Dad built this racer when I was 11 years old. Followed in his footsteps loving cars ever since. That was 64 years ago!

It started for me with my oldest daughter. She wanted a 914 for her second car. Her Dad told her get a pic tape to the mirror so you see it everyday and it will find you. Well sure enough she found one about 9 months later. It needed a pass. side quarter panel. lol
We called it the car of many colors. Her dad and I got the quarter panel from the junkyard. (Not easy in 1986) got it put on by a body shop. (never one of us welded and I still don't) Time goes by and she decides to move to Colorado with boyfriend (now husband) Tells me mom here's the keys to the car of many colors it's yours now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Learned how to work on it the hard way of trying to find manuals and such. Since then 914's have been in my life. Currently have a 70 (aka the pumpkin) I do most of the work on her. As it is really not fun rolling on the ground anymore I farm some of it out to my local VW guy who knows about these.
