Hey guys my name is Will. I couldn't find a place to post for new members so i went ahead and did it here, if the mods need to transfer the post to a new forum go ahead.

Anyway I just turned 18 last week and my parents sold the '03 Jetta they bought for me. It was an ok car i guess, pretty uninspiring, though surprisingly quick for what it is. I started looking for a new car about a month ago. I looked at 944s but they seemed pretty sketchy. I've driven past an old 914 since i was in 8th grade and a week ago figured what the hell ill go check it out. I play golf with the guy so thats good. The car is an Irish Green 1972 914-4, with 47,000 original miles. It's all stock except for a Monza (Manta now) exhaust. He sold it to me for $2000, the only thing wrong with it is it needs new fuel lines because the plastic ones are crap. He also included a second 914 as parts car but i have no idea on what kind of shape it is in etc etc. Cosmetically the car is perfect also, its missing the C on the PORSCHE logo on the back and thats it. I will have the car picked up by sunday and hopefully have it running shortly there after.

Ive looked around and no-one sells a full fuel line replacement kit, considering how many cars need their line replaced i'm pretty surprised. Either way i'm glad to be porsche owner and glad to be a part of the site.

here are some pictures of it, it hasent moved in six years so its pretty dirty, its been in the grage the entire time though...seems to be a diamond in the rough.
