Bought myself a driver..., It'll do until I can get the /6 done. Options

I've been wanting a driver 914 again for a while now. With gas prices going up and up, it seemed like a better idea all the time. I bought this from the Classifieds section. Link to 73 2.0 for sale in Boulder. It's got a few rust spots on the cowl and rear trunk, the battery tray has fallen off and there is a small rust hole or two on the inner fender where the tray mounts, but the hell hole(s) actually don't look bad and the car doesn't sag. Runs and drives pretty damn well. I don't plan to sink a lot of money into it, just required repairs and the occasional $10 beauty part.

I'm glad you bought that car (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif) Looks nice, too. What color green is that? Will you keep the car after the SIX is completed? i want it...heh heh(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ph34r.gif) Nice score... KT

Three posts up Trekkor.

It's actually a crappy (I mean really bad) repaint over the original Zambezi green. Fortunately they left the jambs, engine compartment, underside and trunks alone so the exterior panels could actually one day be be stripped and painted Zambezi green and keep the costs down.

It would be worth the trip to really get all of that grease off if you need to.  I just need to have everyone out by 5. Yeaaah... You're really looking for yet another way to piss off your neighbors, huh? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif) Nice score on the car, dude. More and more, I'm starting to like the look of black early bumpers. You've got your powdercoating rig still, right? Think about it... strip all the chrome, black it out with powdercoat, some nice paint... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wub.gif)

This thing is a little loud too. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif) Glass pack'll do that you know.

I'm hoping to keep costs down on this rig. But it will make a screamin deal for someone when I'm ready to sell it. After the /6 is done of course.
