hey guys, I am new to this board. I currently have a 944 and frequent the Rennlist board if any '44 guys are here. Anyway, you probably have been asked this numerous times, but what should I particualrly lok for when buying a 914. My father's friend has one that's suposedly rust free, save for a couple little boubles. he's jsut frustrated with the car and reportedly has a cruddly mechanic. Im more concerned with rust than anything(been ther, dont that with an old BMW 2002) and hope to use the car for autocross and just keep the '44 as a daily-driver. He may possible trade me his 914 for my '76 BMW 2002 pluss cash coming to me. I think it should be a good deal as im tired of the bimmer and it isnt a realistic track car for me.....but i have to check out the car first. thanks guys for any help and advice!

hey guys....i got the report from my mechanic....the car is structurally sound. he says the frame and whatnot is strong. there is a bad injector and the shifter linkage is bad. he still seems pessimistic but i think he may jsut have a big bias when these early 914's, i dont know. what do you guys thing. can this be a fun car for me for autocrosses? with the stock engine now will i be laughted at at the events if i dont get around to majorly upgrading it before they start? thanks.
