Spot II, my 74 project Options

[thf944]

I guess I should start an official project thread. I've been lurking for a few months, found out about the world through Rennlist. I started a thread on Rennlist a while back but I feel its more appropriate to keep a project thread here.

I traded a Jetta for this 74 914 in March of this year. I've always wanted a 914 but never got one until now. It was a yellow 914 that got me liking Porsche's. When I was about 9 years old my dad had a co-worker with a 914. They went on a business trip in it and my brothers and I thought it was the coolest think to have TWO trunks! I had a couple hand-me down cars until college when I bought my first car - '80 924. Over the years I had a couple 944s and a bunch of water-cooled V-dubs, but always wanted an air-cooled.

I'll try to keep updates coming as I get around to doing things to it. I'll start by catching up to its current state. It was a running/driving car when I got it but never fear it has already been on jack stands. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Well actually I just put it on jack stands to check out the underside and put new wheels on. I've been driving it as much as I can which is not nearly enough!

This is how it looked when I got it:
