The Long Road to Recovery :-) Options

[Beamer13]

Alright, I figured that I could start my own little thread documenting my progress on my newest toy. I am hoping to get this together with pics and descriptions of what is going on. Let's start with the before (beginning).
I have a friend that had been trying to sell this Porsche 914 for a while, I was helping him to find a buyer, but we weren't having much luck. He had applied for a job with Homeland Security (Border Patrol) and didn't really want to take it with him ( He had begun a hobby of building custom choppers). Well, at the end of October he got the call that he was hired and that he had to move in a week!!!
So I decided to take him out for a going away party, I got to the local watering hole first. He walks in, sits down, I buy him a drink and we start talking. He then out of nowhere says, " So do you want that Porsche??" I said, " Of course I do, but what's the price sticker on it??" He said, " I gotta get rid of it now, so $100 and it's yours!" Needless to say, I damn near broke my finger reaching into my pocket for the money!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
The rest is History. Now for the pictures..
These first ones are of the vehicle as it was when I bought it. It really hadn't been driven in about 2 years cuz he started to repair the rust. (In case you didn't notice, I live in Wisconsin (Green Bay))

Ok, now I am kinda done with the carnage. Now it is to the good things, and the actual progress on the vehicle!!
First of all, I would like to thank everyone on this forum!! I am so glad that I did my search on Google and found you all!! I have received so much help and advice from many of you, and I look forward to receiving more as I continue my journey!
Here we go, replacement parts and other stuff that I got from my friendly neighborhood forum members

Also received some other FI stuff from Slackin at Work!!

Plus of course, my parts car, which has everything in it besides the engine and tranny, which I will be taking some stuff off of, but will be parting most of it out (or making it into a racer since it is actually more solid than my car, but no title!! Bought it when I was under the impression that mine was a 2.0, but you guys informed me that I was misinformed and mine is a 1.8) Either way, I will have some parts for you guys, as it has perfect marker lenses, Leather Steering Wheel, seats, etc. etc. etc...
Please feel free to give advice, 2 cents worth, or just PM me to say hey!!!
